This is an informal introduction
to the key elements that are extremely important to what we are committed
to in making a reality within the business community and abroad.
What Blacktalon offers to companies of every
size and scope is knowledge, strategy and confidence to become a socially
cohesive, economically viable and growing company. It is a well known
fact today throughout the larger market sphere that employer/employee
relations are at its worst in decades.
The lack
of spirit, initiative, and enthusiasm that creates such a huge void
in most failing corporations is due to a few major factors that right
now may be addressed in some detail.
Firstly, the growing apathy and sense of
pessimism that is displayed in most major retail and wholesale outlets
by the staff can be traced back to a procedure of homogenizing attitudes
towards both the employees and their behaviours.
Basically,
there is protocol for addressing and acknowledging employee behaviour
by lumping together different aspects of applicable behaviour types,
in creating or by choosing the most adequate way of responding to the
problem, in whatever way that keeps things on top for the company itself,
while the employees get treated highly unfairly.
There is a strict bureaucratic division between
management and employees in most companies that promotes a high turnover
rate as an economic tool for their use.
This treatment in any case is not taken well
by the staff, who in turn lower their production, lose respect for what
they do, and how they do it, customers suffer, and ultimately the sales
well.
The second point is in the perspective of
trying to better the sales of the organization by hammering down on
the employees. Cutting hours, taking away certain privileges or narrowing
them down to the point of nothingness; whatever can save the organization
money is implemented by means of extraction of the employees. Workers
are not just means to labour, but they are also means of certain types
of resources.
For example, if an organization wants to
lower the price of a product and put it on sale, the revenue lost by
putting the particular commodity on sale can be regenerated very easily
cutting down the employee hours, and the shrinking the division of labour,
so that an individual may not only have less hours, but more work to
finish within those less hours.
By these means the employees become a transparent
form of resources that is calculated with the utmost subtlety. Another
way of perceiving the problems within the corporation can be seen with
the existence of the ‘us against them’ attitude that is
very suggestive to everyone who works at the organization.
It creates battle lines amongst the workers
and mistrust. This affects how much work is done and the hostility within
the group as a whole will stifle sales if it is not kept in check. So,
it is easy to see just how many corporations out there are failing horribly,
simply because they are not relating themselves and the policies of
their organization to the employees in a healthy manner.
What we at
Blacktalon do is to show the upper management a different and new way
of relating to their employees in a way that benefits both parties,
however in the end, there truly will only be one, not two parties constituting
the organization…
