When trust is a four-letter word

Article Abstract:

The decline in job security in the UK has served to reduce trust between employers and employees. Many employees are being forced to work in very stressful conditions, and some are responding by becoming consultants, working for the employers prepared to pay the highest rates. Many employers are now focusing on motivating individuals through performance-related pay, and this has highlighted the very low priority they give to teamwork. The lack of trust tends to have a negative impact on employees' willingness to be innovative.

Women need different benefits from men, such as childcare vouchers, and employees preferences are likely to change with time. Administration is no problem as computer software copes with tailoring packages for individuals.
