I think these basics are most important:
* don't constantly push to have your employees stay late
* if you need your employees to travel, while they're away don't pressure them to work more than their usual work day.
* don't disrespect and be a jerk to your employees
* provide reasonable sick and vacation benefits
- danielweber 13y ago* Automatically raise their pay every year. It doesn't necessarily need to keep up with market, but they need to know that they aren't being suckers by staying at the job.
- makr17 13y agothis! I can't begin to tell you the number of bad managers I've seen offer the competitive pay rise only _after_ they've been given notice. that just drives home how completely you've been screwing me up until this point... edit: ok, perhaps not screwing me. but if you know I can make significantly more elsewhere, you shouldn't act shocked when I take the opportunity...
- patmcc 13y agoBingo. Companies should have (at least) two mechanisms for raising pay: a 1 to 3% (tied to some measure of inflation) increase everyone gets, and a variable rate tied to their performance/company success/etc.

- vacri 13y agodon't constantly push to have your employees stay late My favourite is 'flexible work hours' that always seems to stack in the company's favour. Work a 12-hour day yesterday? Go home an hour earlier today... if that.
