The aim was to find out if organizations that publicly state caring for their employees are telling the truth. They also tried to reveal if companies are really making the proper investment in the development and well-being of their employees. In the report, the researchers claim that they chose such a particular focus because it hasn’t been done before. Interestingly enough, they are the first to bring these facts to light by looking at publicly available annual reports. Only 16 companies mentioned more people than profit words. Roche Holdings was #1 with a ratio of 1:0.3, which means that for every people they mention, they only mention profit 0.3 times. At the other end of the scale, #100 was Samsung, which had a ratio of 1:7.1, which means that for every person they mention, they mention profit 7.1 times." Because money is a way of keeping score, not a reason. Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s, didn’t start because he wanted to make a profit, though it was a welcome bonus, no doubt. He started McDonald’s because he wanted to give the customer a consistent hamburger," says Smith. He also adds, “Train line managers to give feedback regularly. Not just ‘well done’ but add the why. ‘You did well today because’. It is the way that makes the difference. If people know what and why they did well, they’ll do more of it.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda! Please use high-res photos without watermarks Ooops!
