Employing Women Parts 1 - 6

[Saint in Paradise]

1.) Pick young, married women. They usually have more of a sense of responsibility

than their unmarried sisters;they're less likely to be flirtatious;

they need the work or they wouldn't be doing it;they still have the pep and

interest to work hard and to deal with the public efficiently.

 

2.) When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked

outside the home at some time in their lives. Older women who have never

contacted the public have a hard time adapting themselves and are inclined

to be cantankerous and fussy. It's always well to impress upon older women

the importance of friendliness and courtesy.

 

3.) General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a

little on the heavy side - are more even tempered and efficient than their

underweight sisters.

 

4.) Retain a physician to give each woman you hire a special physical examination

- one covering female conditions. This step not only protects the property against

the possibilities of lawsuit, but reveals whether the employee-to-be has any female

weaknesses which would make her mentally or physically unfit for the job.

 

5.) Give the female employee a definite day-long schedule of duties so that

they'll keep busy without bothering the management for instructions every

few minutes. Women make excellent workers when they have their jobs set

out for them, but they lack initiative in finding work themselves.

Right. First of all this one isn't "parts 1-6", it's "parts 1-5".

 

Second of all, there is no need for this to be in two seperate threads, so I feel like helping teh mods by posting parts 6-10 myself and then the other thread can be locked......

 

6.) Whenever possible, let the female employee change from one job to

another at some time during the day. Women are inclined to be less nervous

and happier with change.

 

7.) Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. You

have to make for some allowances for feminine psychology. A girl has more

confidence and is more efficient if she can keep her hair tidied, apply fresh

lipstick and wash her hands several times a day.

 

8.) Be tactful when issuing instructions or in making criticisms. Women are often

sensitive; they can't shrug off harsh words the way men do. Never ridicule a woman

- it breaks her spirit and cuts off her efficiency.

 

9.) Be reasonably considerate about using strong language around women.

Even though a girl's husband or father may swear vociferously, she'll grow to

dislike a place of business where she hears too much of this.

 

10.) Get enough size variety in operator's uniforms so that each girl can have

a proper fit. This point can't be stressed too much in keeping women happy.

 

 

Oh, and finally- just hire a bloke.

Good luck, I have been asking for the Bates' Avatar thread to have a poll for 3 days now...

 

Just write something slightly controversial and they will be all over it like a rash though. It will be locked before you even think about it!

Thread should be renamed IMO; "Selecting Good Wife Stock", although it would require many other chapters, such as "love making", "Laundry" and "Entertaining".

This is very similar to a brochure I once saw, entitled:

 

Employing Homosexuals: How to integrate rear-gunners in your work-place.
