Editor's Notes
- We are now some 250 years since the Industrial Revolution, 50 years since WWII and just a decade from the Tech Boom, yet we have not learnt how to treat the people who work for us; the components of our businesses; the people we entrust to speak to our customers, our suppliers, our co-workers.Be it public or private, small or large, profitable or charity, the corporation or business exists beyond the need to make a profit. Analysts around the world will have you believes otherwise, as will private equity firms, who are all geared for once thing. Profit. The organisation exists for more than this. It has a human face, a social place and a customer base. The business exists for more than what the capitalist system suggests, although without profit society could not function. Profits pay wages, creditors, debtors, etc. What we are taking about here is the humanization of the business so that it realises its reason outside profit, its soul and its purpose.Humanising the organisation is a new insight into what makes an organisation is it’s people and how they are arranged, physically, emotionally and interactively.From a small business to big business, we have to change the way we manage, care for and treat the people in the business. Business owners and senior management often forget that the real power in a business is the people who drive the decisions, and the processes to get the outcomes. Humanising the corporation may in fact lead to your business bypassing the whole system of employee legislation. Legislation that may not have been needed if businesses were managed through people.This is also a moral issue, as the actions of each individual in a business need to be . An individuals actions have an impact on the people around him, and therefore people must be conscious of such, an well as understanding the moral issue his actions may create.
- Whether Small Business or Corporate .... what do the people who work and interact in your business really think about the company, the managers, their co-workers and the terms and conditions (read: culture) under which they work?The basic checks and balances of a modern company tend to focus on “the company” as if it is a organism that exists in its own right. The company only exist because of the component that make it up .. And these component are all people.Outside the computer system and the desk, the company is nothing more than shell. It is the concept that a company is an “entity” for economic reasons (taxation, etc) that creates a perception that a company exists is it’s own right.Vision is created by people; Strategy is created by people; customer service is created by people; and it takes people to move the company in the direction that these doctrines depict in the minds of those involved.Let’s take “customer service”. A person writes up a policy which dictates the process for delivering “great” customer service. These are mere words, and without enaction with passion and enthusiasm customer service will not exist at the level required for the company or business to prosper.The question beckons – Are you employees happy?
