10 Summary The atmosphere of Betty’s Baby Boutique will be a calm, peaceful place where mothers and expected mothers can come to create a theme for the new edition to the family whether it’s furniture of clothes. I choose to hire eight employees because I believe that as a small business controlled only by me I will be able to monitor a small amount of employees effectively. All employees will be trained on the specific tasks that they will be assigned to do and will be monitored closely to see to it that it gets done. Employees must follow the organizational structure and stay in their lane without overstepping boundaries because often times that is when trouble begin. Employees will behave in a professional and ethical manner which should not be a problem because I will have employees starting at the age of 18. Eighteen years and older employees should know how to value another person and show them respect and should not need a baby-sitter on the job.
