Do not give special treatment to an employee just because he is your family friend. Personal relationships must not be mixed with professional commitments.

  • Help your employees whenever required. Employees must be able to fall back on their employer at the times of crisis.

  • Never encourage nasty politics at the workplace. Take strict action against employees indulged in unproductive tasks.

  • Motivate your employees. Appreciate those who perform exceptionally well. Give them a pat on their backs for their good work. Encourage them to work in teams to extract the best out of each of them.

  • Give the employees their due credit. Reward them with incentives and certificates. Get their names displayed on notice boards. Appreciate them whenever they perform well.

  • Make yourself available to your employees. An employer’s role is not only to sit in closed cabins but to interact with his employees and find out what they are upto.

  • Monitor their performances but do not interfere in their work. Give them deadlines and let them work in their own way. Do not be after their life to get the work done.

  • Be friendly with your employees. The Hitler approach does not work now a days. Have your lunch with them once in a week and try to enquire about their family, married life, children and so on. Such informal interactions bring employees closer to their employers.

  • An employer does enjoy some liberty but one should try his level best to adhere to the company’s guidelines and policies. Try to reach work on time. Be an idol for your employees.
