• I will make sure you know the areas you are exceeding in, and the areas that need some work. It is through this evaluation that I will then decide if your wage should be adjusted based on your performance. It is important to me that you feel valued as an employee of my company, and as such I will make sure I do what I can to assure this. I offer varied bonuses in the forms of monetary, gifts, meals/outtings, gift cards, etc.
• I am a working mom myself, and I understand how hard being a working parent can be, as such I try to be as flexible as I can with working hours around daycare restrictions. Some jobs are not as flexible, but whenever possible I will do my best to work with daycare/pre & after school care.
• We usually meet on site, or in a public parking area (for carpooling purposes) in the mornings. Once on site, we will discuss the plan for the day, assign everyone their duties, and then gather the materials & tools required for the task.
