The Employee-centered Workplace™ : The Key to Optimizing Business Results
Although many employers insist, "Our employees are our greatest asset," their actions are not aligned with their words. Instead, employees often appear to be an afterthought, if not a millstone around management's neck. Yet organizations cannot optimize their business results unless their employees are fully successful. Have you ever seen unhappy workers and delighted customers?
The way to help employees become fully successful is to create an Employee-centered Workplace™. When I went to work for Fed Ex in 1979, one of the first things I learned was founder Fred Smith's philosophy about how to run the company, which was contained in three simple words: People - Service - Profit. That is, if you take care of the people, they will provide exceptional service, which will result in profit for the company. In the 30+ years since then, I have not seen any evidence that proves him wrong about this point.
As the U.S. economy begins to make its way out of recession, it is critical for organizations to retain their key employees. Yet surveys show that many workers, especially good performers, are ready to "jump ship" at the first opportunity. Why? Many organizations today are employer-centered; some are union-centered (i.e., focused on the union as an organization, not on the workers it represents); others are customer-centered. None of these philosophies are about creating employee success. All of them do a disservice to stakeholders by squandering employee talents and leaving money on the table.
