Keep your staff happy

Staff remember promises of job improvements and work benefits almost 100% of the time.
Unfortunately, bosses tend to remember them far less frequently. Forgetting a promise easily leads to staff miscontent, lower productivity, poor morale and higher staff turnover.
Don’t be a forgetful boss. If you make a promise, keep it. Make sure you don’t forget simply by writing it down in your diary the day you made it (including the circumstances) and then make a later diary note to implement it, with reference to the original diary entry.
Dear Matt,
That is some really good advice. Forgetting promises like that can be tragic considering that employees work primarily to get money and work harder if it will get them more money!
