Many see work as a location, a duty and a responsibility. Work is
best described as a function to fill a need, satisfy a want and to solve a
problem, for valued returns and payments. This Economic Driving activities
divided into Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC), which produces (Goods and Services) outputs
measured by profits and Gross Domestic
Product (GDP). Hence, payments and profits easily become every bodies
focus points of the Work. Ethics and Respect for the Work must also be
understood, for values to be earned, by all contributors of time and resources.
Seeking benefits, the Work
needs different and diverse contributors; Physical skilled and unskilled
workers, Mental academic and non-academic workers and, of course, Investors non-workers.
An individual (Self Employed) who owns land, plants, picks and sells fruits and
collect money, contributes all that this work needs. A large operation
(Business) can require many Investors contributing lands, farming equipment, time,
cash, etc., many unskilled and non-academic workers, and some skilled and
academic workers. Noting that the Work itself requires Developing,
Inspiring, Administering and Building which are the same in the four
main roles of Life.
Such Investors expect and focus on Profits (Returns On Investments
(ROI)) to retire on. Workers expect and focus on Payments (Salaries and Wages)
to live on. And these benefits must be competitive and proportional. Competing
with similar investment opportunities (Cash Deposits and Assets ROI), and Work
functions and conditions (Job Descriptions). Proportional to the risk exposure;
Physical harm, Mental stress, Assets damage, Loss of Principal Investment, and a
waste of Time. The work must be seen as rewarding. Hence it is the Work environment,
with all else equal, which will add to the levels of reward and comfort.
Organizational culture is a mix of each workers’ national, social
and historical culture, and continuously changes adopting the latest (management
efficiency and production processes) style. Personalities and relationships are
a matter of continuously adapting, as necessary, to the local community and between
co-workers requires exercises, to build and renew cohesive teams. A Code of
Conduct will standardize Ethical
Behaviour effectiveness and efficiency,
allowing the Work, itself to represent, the commitment to excellence, brought
by all workers. With such dedication to each other and to the Work, the resulting
Productivity
will attract and interest other Investors, enhancing Market Value.
Therefore, it is the focus on excellent Work Ethics, infused into a
group of talented and committed workers, supported by adequate resources over calculated
time invested, which brings the recognition; sales revenue, gross profits, salary
and wage increases, administrative and other expense payments, continuous net
earnings, book and market share value growth and dividend payouts. This is
about the habits of The
Best People, not cultural habits, although culture plays an important
part in individual development. But of habits learnt and practiced from exposure
to the individual’s first timetable, introducing discipline in every aspect of
life.
