If I were a boss?

Some people don't know the different between being a boss and being bossy. For me, being a boss means you are responsible to check if your team members have done the tasks you have allocated to them. You teach members that don't know and guide those that are unsure of their tasks.

Being a boss is a challenging task as you have to manage people and at the same time meet organisational objectives. If I were the boss, my consultancy would start at 09h45. The 15 minutes before 10h00 would give employees time to do their greetings and get their coffee. As a mother, it is such a hassle to work up your children so early in the morning because you have to be at work by 08h00. With the business hours starting late, it would allow mothers to make cereal or breakfast for their children and make their lunch boxes. It would also give them time to drop-off the children to school. The rule is that no-one is allowed to be late because business starts at 10h00.

I think it is important for an employer to take care of his/her employees, as they are the biggest asset. I would have a creche and aftercare on the premises. The most stressful thing for mothers is worrying about the safety of their children. If mothers know where the children are, that means less stress for them. I would also have a gym for my employees, I would encourage healthy eating. There are few organisations that accomodate mothers especially single-mothers, if these important people are taken good care of this will create a better work environment.
