Employee Engagement Lip Service

July 31, 2008 by David Zinger 1 Comment

Liz Ryan wrote a wonderful article at Business Week on the 6 Signs You Don’t Care about Workers. Many companies make an ASSet of themselves when they glibly state: Employees are our greatest asset.

Liz outlined the following 6 signs or failures:

  1. The talent chief is a half-chief.
  2. HR is a finance function.
  3. Recruitment is a black hole.
  4. HR is a cost reduction unit.
  5. You’ve outsourced the most critical people functions.
  6. Org development and HR aren’t one.

    Liz’s comments certainly resonate. I recent posted a blog where I make the point that we put our most important asset (our customer) in the hands of our most valuable asset (our employees) and then never trust/empower them to actually do their job. This attitude is based on the same premise of paying lip service to our employees.
    If they really are our greatest asset, we need to make sure we start treating them like they are.
