Vision
Successful organizations use the competencies and talents of their employees. In essence, employees form the biggest asset and capital of the organization. From the modern employee's perspective, a big part of life is filled with work and career goals. So, it is important that work is inspiring, fun and challenging. However, this is not always the case.
So called "critical life-events" can heavily influence the perception employees have on their work and career. Everyone in life has to cope with such events, which mostly occur when you do not expect them. The experience of those events (divorce, sudden death-sickness-accident of a beloved person, losing a job or income) has a huge (emotional) impact. With sufficient social support from their direct environment people can cope. If employees cannot cope with a critical event (because of the lack of social support) and they have at the same time a stressful or boring job, this can eventually lead to serious problems. But what kind of jobs are stressful or boring?
Jobs with too many deadlines, too much complexity, unrealistic targets, demanding multi-tasking, mandatory overtime are examples. If work-life balance is seriously disturbed, burn-out will occur. Preventing such an event is important. People can be physically and emotionally disabled. Organizations face long term absences which are costly and unproductive. The solution sounds simple. Continuously invest in the development of employees. Keep them fit for changes and challenges. As an employee, it is wise to take responsibility for your own career and always work to take skills and knowl a step further. As the employer, are your employees prepared to face changes and adapt to new challenges?. Markets change, globalization of work occurs and organizations move quickly. Competition is aggressive. Sustainable products against low costs and a lot of flexibility are now routinely demanded by customers. Creating an environment that encourages and supports the ability to adapt, change and anticipate is key for both organizations and their employees.
