After a company successively laying off part of its employees during past few months without making any accompanying reassurance action to existing employees, a high-ranking manager orates to his workers that you must have confidence in our company, follow the steps of our company then you won't have to worry about your future.
Who'll buy into it, even the influences of economical environment changes were not taken into account.
The same manager also says that according to the change of market situation, we inevitably have to expatriate our people to Mainland China, any worker who received expatriation notice must obey the order without second thought or being dragged by personal family consideration.
Alas, is this a military mission order or a working contract?
Expatriation during business globalization isn't a simple thing as one would imagine instinctively, it has evolved into a complex and big topic in human resources management. A high-ranking manager must have knowledge about this, simplifying this problem and push it straightforward are not at the best interests of the organization and its expatriates.
In addition, employees' work-and-life balance is also an important issue today's businesses must address, if it wants to retain its talents and explore employee's potential competences for the purpose of ever-lasting operation.
Mimics the saying of his boss, the manager says that the purpose of doing one's job is to improve one's own living standard, so have confidence in our company, you don't have to adept your personal life due to the changes of outside environment.
A boss could make this kind of suggestion, but it's really unprofessional for a professional manager to make the same comment.
What a baseless and ignorant boast! He’s a manager without the common sense of Marslow's hierarchy of needs and supposing that everyone is isolatedly living outside social world?
While other companies are competing to employ the best contemporary business practices, an organization whose high-ranking manager or staff even don't know the existences of basic management knowledge and its progress, seriously lagging behind intelligent organizations in management, and always make high-flying purposeless brags, how to expect it could compete in the global market and produce long term performance?
在接連數月的陸續裁員,也沒做任何穩定現存員工士氣的配套措施之後,一位高階主管對員工大放厥辭:大家對公司要有信心,跟著公司的腳步走,你就不需擔心你的未來沒有前途.
誰會相信這種說詞?即使先不考慮經濟環境變化的影響.
同一個主管又說,由於市埸的變化,我們必須經常派遣人員到大陸地區任職,所以員工如果接到派遣的指示,就應沒有二心服從命令,也不要因個人家庭的理由而不接受派遣.
天哪!這是軍事任務命令,還是勞動契約?
企業在國際化之時,人員派遣並不如想像般那麼輕而易舉,它已是人力資源管理上重要而且複雜的議題.高階主管應具有此方面的知識,把此一問題簡化,並且率爾執行,不可能會符合組織和派遣人員的最佳利益.
此外,員工的工作與生活平衡也是當今企業為了永續經營,在思考如何留才,以及激發員工的潛能上,必須重視的課題.
仿效老闆的語氣,該高階主管說:工作的目的是為要了改善個人的生活品質,只要對公司有信心,大家就不需因外部環境的變化來調整自己的生活.
老闆可以這麼說,專業的經理人也這麼說便顯得非常不專業.
真是不實際又無知的大話,不知道馬斯洛的需求層次?每個人都孤立生活於社會之外?
當企業在競相採行當代最佳的管理實務之時,一個組織的高階主管或幕僚若不懂得基本的管理知識與其發展,愛說打高空式的大話,而在管理上又嚴重落後智慧型組織,則不知其如何能在國際市場上競爭,並產生長期績效?
