Say Goodbye to your
Classic Work Style
Work styles change.
Every day. Sometimes
they change radically
from 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.
