Wasting insight and discourageing committment

One of the things that one sees often in businesses struggling to come to grips with growth and expansion is the sacrifice of workers/employees insight ,experience and skills in exchange for expedient,superficial and ill planned management and succession plans.Without a true and attentive assessment of staff needs and strong employer leadership/vision and a sense of mission, many employees are wasted as assets .Many respond by leaving, or worse, many stay in disgruntled semi obedience and stifled , semi productive roles,with attitudes and behaviours to match.The culture or ill defined directions produce a negative attitude and a non committed and unimaginative workforce.

Like in most realms of life a lack of clear goals,encouragement,appreciation of effort made and a call to participation being valued in some way, will lead to a lethargic,disinterested and perhaps in the worst case an antagonistic culture. Many become a disunified and self serving entities that get distracted from the core business and business of preserving a companies greatest asets its human resource of knowledge,experience and committment.In easier times such 'assets' use can be turned over and replaced or patched with temporary staff functionaries.This does not necesarily build or create permanent,competitive and outward looking innovative approaches to your business management strategy nor your core business.

Such insecurity creates an alienation that breeds upon itself with all sorts of unintended,though nonetheless forseeable consequences.Falling motivation,trust,absenteeism,IR issues,safety lacksness,theft,leaving for better employers,injuries,increased workers comp claims on stress related issues etc.All leading to a lack of greater productivity.
