Tips to improve punctuality
1) Install a clock – hang one above a doorway
where everyone can see the late person coming
in.
2) Accept no excuses for tardiness – treat
lateness as an offense that is result of
irresponsibility.
3) Consequences must Exist – if there are no
penalties for tardiness, it sends aa message that
punctuality is not a priority for the company.
