Some
companies keep their work force in fear for their jobs. They believe if they
control their workers emotions the business will benefit from increased job
performance. Too often, Management equates fear with power. Nothing could be
further from the truth.
Businesses
that choose to operate in this manner eventually burn people out and they seek
employment elsewhere. This old fashion
industrial-age method increases costs
to the employer through constantly hiring and retraining replacement workers. Morale
bottoms out and affects everyone,
including your customers. Once customer service is affected your company is in the tank.
Fear is never a good motivator for any organization.
People loose respect for an
organization and lose sight of what truly matters. Anyone can walk into
a business and within a few minutes of observing employee attitudes determine if
a healthy work environment exists.
Fear erodes your business reputation from the
inside-out!
Great businesses stand out immediately and the vibe
is exciting, which extends to the customers. The fact is… if your business operates using fear as the motivational tool; the problems are far more serious and deeper than how your employees are treated!
What is your company culture?
