If I was the Boss

Just the thought of being my own Boss makes me giddy. We all want our business to be financially successful as well as know in the industry, and to be liked by our staff. I think as a Boss there are certain rules and regulations that are vital in the workplace. It is like the saying goes, 'You give them your hand and they will take you entire arm.'

I would definitely hire people on their credentials and not on race. Who cares if you are pink, purple or blue! It is your experience and expertise that will get you a job in my company.

A normal working day would be from 09h00- 16h00 and Friday's will be from 09h00-12h00. Don't get me wrong, I expect 110% effort from all of my staff members. Friday's will also be casual day and no meetings will be scheduled for this day either.

Quarterly staff lunches and team building sessions will be held so that management and staff may get to know each other outside of the working environment.

On your birthday you will be entitled to a day off provided that all deadlines have been met. A big fuss will be made on your birthday and cake will definitely be made provision for. I have to spoil my staff every-once-in-a-while.

Each staff member will have a fully equipped work station so that they have access to all the necessary tools in order for them to perform at their best.
Facebook will only be accessible from 09h00-10h00 and from 15h00-16h00.

I would try and make sure that everything runs according to a work schedule. There will be definitely no room for leaving things to the last minute!
Weekly meetings will be held to check staff progress and to make sure that everyone is on par.
I would make sure that my employees are constantly challenged in the work that they do, which equals more profits and most importantly, that my staff are happy in their positions.

Staff members will also be recieve a R50.00 meal allowance when they work overtime. They will also be reembursed for petrol when attending work related meetings, funtions or running errants.

Trying to implement these rules and regualtions is probably easier said than done. The only thing that I would except from my staff is deadication and hard work, which is my recipe for success.
