Sandi Mays’ blog–www.businesstoolsblog.com–is must reading for Zayo and Envysion employees.   She had a post a few days back that made me smile while also reminding me how far we’ve come.  It is worth your time to take a look.

My favorites on the list of 11 tipes are #6 and #8:

6. Give the female employee in garage or office a definite day-long schedule of duties so that she’ll keep busy without bothering the management for instructions every few minutes. Numerous properties say that women make excellent workers when they have their jobs cut out for them but that they lack initiative in finding work themselves.

8. Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. Companies that are already using large numbers of women stress the fact that you have to make some allowances for feminine psychology. A girl has more confidence and consequently is more efficient if she can keep her hair tidied, apply fresh lipstick and wash her hands several times a day.

So Now What?

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for the plug :)

    Just for the record, I am more concerned that the men in the office wash their hands. Is there a way to monitor that? Envysion cameras maybe?
