Concerns
The disillusionment with century old management practices is resulting in a change in the socio-spiritual behaviour. Mutual trust is in short supply. No longer, people stick to a single job. The individualistic behaviour is superseding the collective behaviour- the feeling of brotherhood. The bogey of competition is used to justify unfair and unethical practices.
It must be realised that increasingly offices are replacing society and friends as support system. Individuals nowadays, spend close to 14 hours in office on average. These long and stressful hours in office hardly allow scope for engaging in social causes or give time to discover self. (Did Mumbai stop even for a second after the blasts?). Office and company are now the social prism in which individuals now earn their credibility. The work and the office culture give meaning to people. The organisations must realise this fact and make it sure that they change and trust individuals. They must allow them to grow and realise themselves. They must allow equality of opinion and pay them equitably.
Otherwise they stand to lose the battle for talent.
