Sunday newsagency management tip: setting tasks for your team

instructionsEnsuring business runs the way you want when you are not there can be challenging. I have found a diary works as a single place for communication between everyone involved. However, that can be limiting when you have a lot on or very specific things to be done.

This management tip is what I have seen in one of my businesses. It’s how the manager communicated with the weekend team this weekend when there was more than usual to do.

Creating a document with photos showing display unit placement is a terrific way to ensure that what you ask to be done is done how you want it done.

Sometimes employees get it wrong because how we have communicated our requests is wrong.

    We’ve been taking photo’s and forwarding them to relevant staff for some time now. Our magazine person now takes her own photos when ever she sees we have set things up differently.
