Employers vs
Employees
Trust is the main issue that begins to erode when
an employee and employer experience
misunderstandings or perceive unfair treatment.
Certainly, an employee must be accountable to their
employer. However, there is an implied dependence
where the captive employee trusts their employer to
treat them with consideration and fairness. The
employer in turn trusts that the employee is hard
working and honest. Problems occur when the boss
treats the worker like a machine separate from his
or her feelings, frailties and family demands or
the worker takes advantage of the boss.
Ultimately, it is in the
employer's best interest to treat their employer
respectfully and with consideration for their
health and family needs. The employer and employee
relationship can have an atmosphere of mutual
respect and loyalty, when both parties consider and
respect each other's needs and priorities. It is
human nature for an employer to want too much from
their employees and for the employee to resist
sacrificing their home lives to help an employer
gain financially. Clearly, the employer must earn
and deserve loyalty because they provide their
employees a better-than-fair deal. In exchange,
most employees will then give far more than their
paycheck's represents.
If communication becomes
strained, or an employee threatens to quit, the
employer would be wise to seek professional
counseling to help both sides see the disagreement
as a challenge to solve not as the last straw. Not
really marriage counseling, but definitely
relationship counseling! Learning to communicate
your needs and priorities without anger or shame is
essential in any communication situation. Many are
not able to do this especially when their
livelihood is on the line.:
