Advice to Management

Manage by example. Constant fault finding and negative feedback is not management. Listening, training, and positive reinforcement is.

Members want to see positive, happy employees. Constantly switching employees from department to department is stressful and accomplishes little in the long run. Open your eyes and learn who really works in your warehouse and who does not.
