Making staff pay for tea is a bit of joke in counties like England and India. Due to the reliance of tea from a young age in England and India staff that don’t have tea in the morning and break will work slower and produce poor quality work.
Recently big brother presenter Davina McCall was unable to have any tea and this harrowing picture was released to the press.
Asking your staff to pay for tea should also be banned, it’s not that expensive to buy tea bags, water is free and milk. It’s something that could help staff moral if tea was made free.

A good way to promote your business is by promoting in the search engines such as Dog Pile, Alta Vista, Ask and the popular Google.
To get to the top of the rankings all you need to do is add content related to the search you want to come up for. Then get people to link to you. This can be done by directories, link pages, etc etc.
Once your at the top of the rankings don’t relax keep on pushing with more key phrases and adding more pages to the site. Once you get the knack of it you’ll be promotion your business the 21st century way!

Office conditions are very important to staff happiness and production levels. A poor environment means poor levels of work both volumes and quality. For example, if your chairs are uncomfortable then staff will have to stand up and stretch their backs, less time at the computer.
Too hot and your staff will be going to the water fountain a lot, then in turn going to the toilet, that’s if they are not asleep due to the heat.
Too cold and people won’t be able to type as their fingers will be numb. It’s all about getting the conditions correct. Once they are the right job will be done.

In the UK there is a scheme called the ride to work. It promotes the use of people cycling to work rather than getting the car or using public transport. It means that you pay for your bike over a period of time and have a VAT reduction making the bike cheaper.
It’s a great way of getting fit and staff that come to work on a bike will be more alert and ready to work rather than the staff that have just got out of bed into a warm car and driven to work.
It helps if there are changing facilities at the work place and even a shower.

Getting ideas out of staff is hard, often your staff will have tons of ideas about new products changes to procedures which can earn more money but then don’t have an output. A great way to do this is to have whiteboards with pens ready at any time to place ideas on. It’s something that many companies promote that staff can get up and doodle an idea out.
Once they have an idea out and written on a board a good option is to provide a camera or let the staff use their camera phones to record what was written, notes then can be written up at a later date.

Some people like their work some people don’t like their work. For the people that don’t like their work your need to keep them motivating but you don’t want to ignore the people who are comitted, they might burn your building down if you ignore then.
To start most staff are only at work to earn money, so any money incentives are going to help people work harder and try more sales. You also need to make sure they are earning a wage that is competative to the industry. e.g. don’t pay a cleaner £25 a day when on average a cleaner earns £35 a day.
You should also provide treats such a dinner on a Friday, afternoon Friday beers and money behind the bar after work. The little points can often keep people at your work which is cheaper than recruitment of new people, remeber it’s all about money at the end of the day.

Following on from my other post another great idea with Outlook is to add in a custom footer promoting your business. It’s something that many companies do but many companies don’t use footers to their potientail. First you need to have your name and sign off, having this will save time as you won’t need to write your details on the end of each e-mail. You should follow this format.
Kind Regards,
FirstName LastName (Qualifications)
After that you then want to have your company logo. The log should then link to your site and you should have a text link to the site too. You can place tracking on the links to work out how many people are coming to the site from the e-mails.
You can place latest offers below the logo, these then can link to landing pages on your site. This is great if your e-mails go out to any clients or in sales e-mails.
You should then finish your e-mail off with a disclaimer.

You may have several process’s in your business for sending forms from one department to another. It might be the case for a request for a holiday or an order for stationary. Often people set up html templates or html stationary that outlines the data needed.
In the example of a holiday order the details would include the number of days off, start date, end date, reason for leave. It might be some e-mails come back with a piece of information missing. With custom forms you can build a form that requests information to be filled into boxes. Verifcation checks can then be added so that the users entered the “correct” information e.g. a number or a date.
So next time you are looking at internal emails do consider setting up custom forms on outlook.
