Breaking the bad habits behind time theft

Article Abstract:

Estimates of employee theft from businesses range between $40 and $120 billion annually. Apart from tangible theft of property, employees can steal from businesses in such intangible ways as habitually arriving late or departing early, faking illnesses, and using company time to run another business. In order to reduce time wasted in businesses, management must focus on changing employee attitudes. Management should signal employees that waste will be reduced. Employee morale should be bolstered though open lines of communication, responsibility should be delegated to employees, goals for reducing waste should be implemented, and a training program for reducing waste implemented. The results of the waste reduction program should be measured and there should be procedures for providing periodical feedback and review.

Motivating people to build excellent enterprises

Article Abstract:

The motivation of employees to achieve at the highest attainable level can be crucial to the success or failure of corporate strategies. Creative companies respond to this dependency by recruiting creative, innovative people to work in an environment with a self-governing orientation that encourages diversity and experimentation. The creativity of most US companies is limited by large bureaucracies and traditional problem-solving methods. Executives in these companies must understand their corporate values and commitments and possess discipline and self-determination. Highly motivated employees at all levels of the organization must be challenged and rewarded for performance.
