1. Pick young married women.Usually they are more responsible than unmarried, and less likely that they will be with someone to flirt.They obviously need a job, otherwise they would not have to seek it.They are both interested in and to work actively and to cooperate effectively with others.
2. attracted to the work of older women, try to find those who have ever worked in my life outside the home.Older women who have never had dealings with the public, poorly adapted, sometimes quarrelsome and finicky.In dealing with these ladies you the impression produced depends largely on the friendly and polite.
3. In general, experience shows that "strong" girls - those who weighs a little more than usual - more balanced, and operate more efficiently than their thin tovarki.
4. all women who you hire to work, should be examined by a doctor.This not only will protect your business from possible lawsuits, but also will help you understand whether a potential employee of any female weaknesses, because of which it is mentally or physically fit for the job.
5. Emphasize that it is important to do all the time: lost here and there a minute or two significant harm to the schedule.As long as you do not check it on purpose, it is very likely that the work will slip.
6. Give the employee a clear schedule for the day to have it all the time, it was busy and did not have every few minutes to disturb superiors requesting instructions.In the experience of many companies, women are perfectly cope with the work, if given the plan, but they lack the initiative to find work themselves.
7. If possible, allow the employee to switch during the day from one job to another.Usually, women with less anxiety and even happy to accept the changes.
8. Give every girl required number of breaks for rest during the day.It should be done a certain discount on the psychology of women.She feels more confident and work more efficiently if it is possible several times a day to tidy hair, use lipstick and wash hands.
9. Be tactful, giving instructions or criticizing employees.Often women are different sensitivities.They can not skip past the ears of harsh words, as men do.Never laugh at a woman - it would undermine its morale and drastically reduce efficiency.
10. Avoid using strong language around women.Even if the husband or the father of the girl loudly swears it will be unpleasant place or job, where she hears too much profanity.
11. Get a working uniform of the required size, so that each girl has got clothing on the figure.It's hard to overstate how important this moment, the women were happy.
