“We have equated an end with the idea of ‘termination’ when in fact an end is the beginning of ‘germination.”-Craig D. Lounsbrough
In the business world companies that are made up of human beings willingly take on the process of treating people as exchangeable parts in the assembly line. The days of employment forever or being with one company for the duration of our careers are fairly a thing of the past.
The contemporary business environment is characterized by the interaction of individuals who exhibit both compassion and indifference, resulting in the transformation of human interactions into impersonal transactions. In this context, the individuals who contribute to the achievement of organizational goals and objectives are often dehumanized and reduced to mere transactional entities awaiting termination.
This prevailing attitude towards human resources and their treatment as disposable entities reflects a societal acceptance of the transitory nature of human connections. Consequently, individuals are conditioned to accept their role as insignificant participants in the process of concluding or commencing transactions, without questioning the ethical implications of such detachment.
Despite the widespread assertion that people constitute a company’s most valuable assets, it is evident that this claim is not entirely accurate. The true asset that holds paramount importance within an organization is the conformity and obedience of its workforce.
This emphasis on uniform compliance is rooted in the belief that a company’s success is contingent upon the productivity, adherence to protocols, and ability to meet revenue targets of its human capital. Consequently, individuals who fail to fulfill these expectations are deemed unproductive and are considered to be a liability rather than an asset to the organization.
In conclusion, the prevailing attitude towards human resources in the business world reflects a dehumanizing approach that prioritizes conformity and productivity over the intrinsic value of individuals. This perspective not only diminishes the significance of human connections but also perpetuates a culture of disposability within organizations. It is imperative for businesses to reevaluate their treatment of human resources and recognize the inherent worth of individuals beyond their instrumental value in achieving organizational objectives. Only by fostering a culture of empathy, respect, and genuine appreciation for the contributions of individuals can businesses truly harness the potential of their human capital and create a more ethical and sustainable work environment.
“Even though we are all likely to view an ending as the conclusion of the situation it terminates, it is also the initiation of a process. We have it backward. Endings are the first, not the last, act of the play.”-William Bridges,
So today is my turn to end a transaction over something has become very common practice.
May we find a way to really make people our biggest assets and not condition based assets.
Peace & Purpose !!!
