Episode 7 - The Changing Nature of The Employment Contract


Listen Later

People Specialists need to realize that the nature of work has changed so the Employment Contract needs to be updated and new categories or employees needs to be updated. It's very difficult to keep our employees engaged. They are not emotionally invested in the mission of the company. Employee Engagement surveys are not the solution. There is no lifetime employment anymore. Employees don't typically want to stay in the same place for more than five years and the younger generations don't want to stay more than one year. People Specialists have to change their paradigm to figure out ways to engage employees who are not employees.

“The basis of the Employment Contract is a Balance of the Employee's inputs and their perceived Employer's reward system. Over time, the Employee's Needs have changed. They want different things from Employers. They are looking for different Intrinsic Rewards work Work-Life Balance being one of the primary ones. There are not jobs anymore, there are roles. Workers want to be a flexible resource. They want to work while they are backpacking through Europe and don't see any reason why they cannot.”
