Aries Employee Profile
===================
Aries employees make excellent troubleshooters.
They'll usually want to be out in the field at a
variety of different work sites fixing things. They certainly won't be happy for very long behind a desk in a 9 to 5 schedule. The bored Aries employee who has been forced into a square hole will typically be restless, angry, and careless with details. No amount of money would compensate for being stuck in a routine job. Money in fact isn't why they are working at all. They do want to be paid fairly and need a status position to satisfy their competitive tendencies
but even more importantly, they'll want challenging
new projects. They typically like to have a sense of
responsibility and need to feel needed. In return,
they'll give their all and provide detailed,
consistent work. They will literally work themselves
to exhaustion to prove themselves. If you want to keep
your Aries co-worker productive and happy, you'll want
to give them the opportunity to work independently or
let them help and lead less experienced workers.
Taurus Employee Profile
===================
Taureans make some of the best employees. They are
loyal, hardworking, and no-nonsense. They work
methodically and follow projects through until they
are complete. Some may appear to work a little too
slowly-usually because they are so careful-but they
will always finish what they start. They thrive on
structure, schedules, and routine. You'll find them
doing the same exact thing at the same time every day.
Taureans, however, are not exactly the malleable
workers that they often appear to be. If they have to
work in a chaotic environment, they won't be happy and
will be prone to child-like temper tantrums and
stubbornness. They might react similarly if they have
to work around ignorant people or at a job where there
is no obvious potential for advancement. Taureans will
be very unhappy if there isn't a ladder for them to
climb. Even in the worst situations, they will find a
way to advance slowly, winning over the most difficult
people who may stand in their way of progress. Taurus
employees will only take so much patiently and happily
before they feel they are being taken advantage of.
They will gladly accept orders and do whatever dirty
work needs to get done, but they expect rewards. They
want material gain, salary increases, and the
potential for more power. To make your Taurus
employees happy, be sure to give them projects through
which they will see tangible results-hopefully
something that will allow them to express their unique
creativity in addition to their practical side. They
don't want to feel mired in details for long periods
of time. Make sure to schedule regular performance and
salary reviews. This show of respect should keep them
loyal to the company.
