​English is definitely the most spoken language in the world and what better way to honor that by telling you why speaking English makes you cool when you're travelling. Ever felt like an alien and lost when you are surrounded by people who don't speak your language? Exactly. Now imagine if your English is excellent. Let us break it down for you. 

People who feel included and wanted, who know that their presence on the job is important – are less apt to be late or absent. Anyone who could come up with a guaranteed cure for lateness and absenteeism could sell the secret and retire in style.

Lateness and absenteeism are perennial problems for which there seems no cure – you must make it a point to continually work at it. Why? Well, one is to be sure – through personal contact and explanation – that everyone appreciates the problems that lateness and absence create. If one person is frequently late, why shouldn’t everyone be? And if everyone is late, why shouldn’t someone else come in even later? Obviously there’s only one sensible place to draw the line – everyone should be ready to start work on time.

Do not underestimate the importance of keeping people informed.  It promotes high morale and better teamwork.

One of the most important things a boss should do is keep people informed. The manager who does not is losing valuable goodwill and cooperation. People like to know what is going on. Employees like to know about things that affect them, their department, or their company. They work better when they do.
