Jobs for life

Posted on 2011-10-28 By whatif 0 comment

There are many advantages and disadvantages to offering employees job security for life.

The advantage for the employee is that, job security is the base on which he plans his future accordingly. For the employer, the employee represents an investment because of the number of hours of training required and the company will continue to have a return on this investment. As we all know, feeling secure about where our future income will come from is very important for our well-being.

Its disadvantage lies in the tendency to decreased productivity. In general, employees who are certain that they can never lose their jobs tend to work less efficiently, thereby contributing to an overall reduction of productivity in the company. For instance, it is common to walk into a government office and see employees filing their nails, making personal calls on the telephone, taking three hour lunches, or surfing the Internet for fun.

In short, I disagree that companies should offer their employees jobs for life. It is an outmoded way of conducting business.

Of course, maybe it is because of my understanding is poor. If you have good advice, I am pleasure to accept.
