open lines of communication to your employees and place them in jobs when you make that promise to them. Value your front line staff; they're the "face" of your organization!

Cons

Senior management make decisions based on a spreadsheet and not with contact with accounts. You will hear things like: "I need this report on the past 11 months by 3:00pm today (at noon)" or there must be ZERO Overtime for hourly and not accounting for actual business climate.

Advice to Senior Management

Prior to making decisions that directly affect account level management decisions, please allow account level management in on why you have made this decision. Make the employee website user friendly and geared toward industry (food, evs, etc) and not general. Allow for decisions and directions to have links on the website so as to allow speculation and knowledge to be actual.
