A Lot of Organizations Don’t Think About People
Summary
- I've noticed that many organizations have a high demand for workers, which can lead to unethical treatment of employees.
- Given the abundance of people willing to take a job, some companies may not feel compelled to maintain ethical practices.
- There is social pressure to treat workers well, but often, organizations are primarily focused on financial outcomes.
- I believe it's important for companies to have a set of values and to truly commit to them in their practices.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting with defining a clear set of values for your business. Think about what is really important to you and your team. Is it respect, honesty, teamwork, or something else? Write these values down and make them known to everyone in your company.
Next, take a good look at how you treat your employees. Remember, just because many workers might be willing to take a job, it doesn't mean they should be treated poorly. So, be sure to show your workers you value them. This could be as simple as saying "Thank you" for their hard work, listening to their ideas, or giving them time off when they need it.
It's also a good idea to keep an eye on your business practices and make sure they match your values. This means not just aiming for financial success but also making sure you're being fair and ethical. If you're not sure, ask your team for their thoughts – they might have some great insights!
Finally, even if there's a lot of pressure to focus only on making money, try to resist it. Remember that treating workers well can actually be good for your business too. Happy employees are more likely to do a great job and stay with you longer, which can save you money in the long run.
By following these simple steps, you can build a business that's not only successful but also a great place to work.
