MAKE
THE JOB MORE VALUABLE TO THE EMPLOYEE AND THE EMPLOYEE MORE VALUABLE
TO THE COMPANY Not every job or even every assignment is challenging and rewarding. Some, by their very nature, are repetitive and boring. In years past, many people were content and even thrived in highly-structured positions doing repetitive tasks. Today's employees are looking for organizations that make jobs interesting, satisfying, and even exciting. Simply doing what's asked and drawing a paycheck, in many cases, no longer causes job satisfaction. It is incumbent on the company to learn how to create work that people want to do. Companies that do not enrich jobs so they are perceived as valuable and worth doing will experience higher than normal turnover and less success. Those not challenged will soon look outside for the challenge. Job enrichment must be looked at not as a project or a one-time effort of improvement. It is something that must be built into the entire organization as a continuous process. It is something that is initiated and maintained by management to keep employees interested and fully utilize their talents. Job enrichment is making the job more valuable to the employee and the employee more valuable to the company. Many who have worked in the same position a number of years, experience what is called "burnout". They've solved the same problems and done the same things so many times it not only has become routine, it has become boring. Rotating that individual to another assignment or position may allow the individual to become re-excited and re-energized. This doesn't mean simply moving employees from one location to the other. A planned program of allowing individuals to rotate to another position either on a temporary or permanent basis has benefits for all. Employees will not only learn the importance of other positions and develop an appreciation for the needs of other departments, they will also develop valuable skills. The most innovative and productive companies continuously train to develop knowledge and skills as a part of their regular routine. Time and money spent developing a more capable employee is not wasted but is an investment in the future. Today,
more and more people are looking beyond just financial compensation
and incentives to determine their desire to not only work, but remain
with the company. It is essential to create happier, more productive
employees to consciously and continuously examine the work that
is being done and do everything possible to make it more enriching
and rewarding.
