The company organizes group tours every year, which is also an excuse for many employees not to participate. What problem does this reflect?
Of course there is something wrong with management! Judging from these descriptions, it should not be a case of individual employees, but a representative phenomenon, which can even be said to be the cultural characteristics of this enterprise! If employees are efficient, I believe everyone can't be efficient. A commercial enterprise will not arrange overtime without urgent tasks, let alone an excuse not to participate in group tours!
On this topic, let me talk about some personal thoughts.
First, employees regard going to work as a routine, which shows that their hearts are not in this company. Why do employees always punch in and out on time? There must be some emotions in it.
In a normal company, there will certainly be such employees who are unwilling to waste time in the company, but of course there will also be employees who are willing to work overtime and make active contributions.
If most employees go to work in a routine way, it means that this enterprise is already very unpopular!
There may also be a lack of trust between management and employees. For example:
A friend of my company never punched in before. Because of an opportunity, the boss found that someone was always late and left early, and secretly went out to do private affairs during work hours, which made him very angry. He asked the human resources department to install an intelligent punch card machine, count the attendance time every day, and fill out an outing form for approval before going out. Those who don't punch in without reason are regarded as absenteeism, and the labor contract will be terminated directly after many times!
In addition to punching in, the boss often takes the personnel department to patrol various departments to check the daily work status, for example, to see if anyone is secretly playing with his mobile phone and if anyone is not at his seat.
In doing so, although the phenomenon of being late and leaving early is put an end to, those employees who used to obey the rules are very uncomfortable and feel that they are not respected by the company, so people who often work overtime are unwilling to work overtime, and employees who come early in the morning are also stepping on the spot.
From this example, we can see that attendance is necessary, but too strict attendance may have the opposite effect in some enterprises.
Second, if employees are in such a working state, the management is hard to blame. I believe it is impossible for all employees to go to work on time as soon as they join the company, at least for new employees. But why do some companies just become a trend and assimilate all employees?
I think the management should be blamed. When this phenomenon appears, why do leaders pay enough attention to it and adjust their strategies in time?
If I were a manager, I would do research as soon as possible to find out why someone suddenly turned to punching in and out on time. What systems or policies does the company have to make employees feel dissatisfied or disappointed with the company?
These problems must be sorted out before seeking solutions. When all employees form such work habits, if you want to correct them, the cost of management will be even greater!
In fact, employees are also expressing their dissatisfaction to the management of the company in a silent way, so the management must have an unshirkable responsibility in such a situation.
Third, the relationship between employees and enterprises is like lovers. You have to know how to run some managers of enterprises, that is, treat employees as working machines and never consider their feelings.
Tell the story of a friend:
He is the head of the human resources department of a company, but he recently resigned. I said, didn't you do it well? Why did you leave suddenly?
He said, now I feel like an executioner and guilty!
I asked why?
He said that the boss is very hard on his employees. After 996, there was no overtime pay and welfare, and wages did not rise. If an employee does something that makes him dissatisfied, he will call names loudly. If the employee dares to contradict a few words, he will be fired immediately!
Therefore, my friend said, I have done so much, and my heart is very uncomfortable. I tried to persuade my boss to change his management style, but I didn't listen at all, so I was disheartened and left my job. From my friend's story, I remembered a famous saying of ancient Emperor Taizong: Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
If a company's employees don't get the respect and treatment they deserve, will they still be willing to work hard for managers? As mentioned in this question, I am an employee. Why should I stay in the company until I find a new job? People are here, and the heart is long gone.
The relationship between employees and enterprises is like lovers. You need to manage and maintain it and do it with your heart.
