Excuse me..treat me well!

Anytime I take a lunch break and encounter a group of colleagues chatting about their work place, the conversations center around complaints about t'he boss'. I am sure you have eavesdropped on such conversations. I am currently writing an article on dignity at the work place....read part of it...

The issue of poor wages even among professionals keeps arising, many complaining that wages are inadequate. But while they do not have a trade union to plead their case, more often it is a case of “everybody for himself and God for us all”.

 

However let us ask ourselves, does this have to be the case. Must we have employees who grumble? What can management do to ensure happy and satisfied employees? The journey to finding answers starts with understanding the role of human dignity in managing employee relations.

 

The aim is to provoke the thoughts of managers and business leaders on the concept of human dignity and the importance making decisions that safeguard and promote dignity for internal clients (employees). It is made on the larger concept of balancing between corporate rights and human rights both within the public and private sector.
