The key to a truly successful business is not the revenue it generates! It is the impact on the customers’ and employees’ lives. This impact shapes the world around us. In the grand scheme of things, the money earned means nothing if it is not shared with those who earn it, whether it is in the form of appropriate wages or an exceptional benefit package. I find it odd that with all the information available in this day in age regarding the benefits of employee engagement, employees are still at the bottom of the totem pole.

A company labor force typically is one of the largest expenses within an organization.  Why not treat it with respect? An employee who is not engaged in the company’s goals will not be able to perform at 100%, which will lead to lost revenue. Any loss in operation capital is a big deal in any business organization. Why is this concept a stranger in most companies? Corporate American needs to wake up and put on their common sense hats, and start to “Treat people like people”. Treating someone with respect, communicating with them, and providing them with enough resources to perform their job functions helps everyone.

You may have a complex process in your organization centered around the goods or services produced, but the core functions of your business are ran on common sense values.

This topic resonates with me because many experiences I have had in my personal and professional life. I have spent a large part of my life watching and not voicing my opinions on how things should be. This platform was created to express my views and opinions on  restoring the common sense values in a corporate environment.
