In reality there is no secret It is just the practical operation of group cooperation, individual interest and pride in the job, and company spirit. Telephone employes are selected with care. They are constantly trained, kept fully informed about the company's affairs, and are continually encouraged to Require the skill and experience necessary to maintain and improve the speed, accuracy and dependability of the service. The consciousness that theirs 1 is an essential public service gives them a sense of personal responsibility. Good working conditions and recognition of i individual merit are also sources of inspiration. The company's plan for re tirement and care of its work- J] ers during sickness or disability, and the provision for death ! ? benefits all safeguard their pres- ' ent and future and promote peace of mind. Further incentives to their cheerfulness and j efficiency are stability of em- ?, ployment and good wages. Telephone men and women also know that the appreciation and interest so often expressed, by the public is shared by the management of their company.
