Say goodbye to your classic work style
one year to the other. New concepts like the “virtual office”, “individual
objectives” and “every employee is a small entrepreneur” make their way to
the business environment. Companies change, and this generates a change in
the way we work.
Attitude is as important as the person’s background expertise. Two
employees that have similar jobs in the same company can have different
attitudes towards their work. The one who is motivated is proactive, the
other one just accumulates frustrations and he would watch the clock
frequently when it comes close to 17:00. The first one will be surely
successful, and no matter what his carrier decisions he will take he will
surely be successful. the second one will stay where he is and in time he
will give up on that company convinced that he is not he one responsible
for his condition, that the system or the boss is.
Human resources specialists have spotted the apparition of some
significant changes in the working environment and in the way companies and
employees express their attitudes towards efficient work. fixing realistic
and well though objectives by the employer and the way the employees carry
them out are the measure for the efficiency of that particular company.
The companies are more and more into showing their employees what
responsibility really is and giving them the flexibility of decisions. in
many companies employees settle their own objectives and they find the
time, the energy the motivation and the practical means to achieve them.
Written or not, objectives evolve along with the strategy and the
politics of each company. Also, the daily action feed-back, going out with
the team, meetings with team-building purposes, plans of individual
development, promotion perspectives, bonuses packages are just a couple of
examples to bring value and fidelity in order to maintain the employees′
motivation and their efforts. Modern companies ask very much of their
employees but they know how to repay their efforts and how to keep them
motivated.
