It is so true. Get another perspective. It also promote for a great work environment. It makes the employees feel valued. They take more interest in the company.
Hey Kevin, Southwest Airlines has a different philosophy. They claim if they hire employees with the "right personality" they can TRAIN them to do anything! By the way...they call their HR dept. the PEOPLE DEPARTMENT. Just something to ponder!
I remember a good manager telling me once "hire hard and you can manage easy" "if you hire easy you will always be forced manage hard" i think you need to decide what your company needs and hire the best for that job. a dumb engineer can get you into a bunch of trouble: however, a ditch digger that over thinks things will never get the hole dug. ron
In my experience, empowering your employees to perform goes a long way in setting them up to succeed. I like to brainstorm with my staff on a regular basis and a result, we have implemented quite a few exciting new programs and procedures.
The company definitely should listen to employees' opinions. This is a way of respect, and the employees will like the company more if the company cares and respects them.
