    be contribung as much to the company as those whose

    companies have made provisions. The lower contribuons

    will show up in more turnover, absenteeism and lower

    producvity. American Express has stated that caring for

    dependents is and will be a major workplace problem and

    a crical business issue.

    Other praccal spin-os of this work-home equaon willbe (1) the renewed sensivity to recruing issues em-

    ployees choosing more carefully which companies are

    more auned to home values - (2) employment equity

    issues in the workplace (women, handicapped, minories,

    indigenous people), (3) issues involving the diverse work-

    place - roughly 48-50% in the Toronto area alone in the

    year 2000 - (4) issues in labour relaons - incorporang

    the home part of the equaon in new collecve agree-

    ments, and (5) work scheduling issues.

    The beer organizaons of the future know that they have

    to change by factoring in more deliberately this work-

    home dynamic. Its not only a social and ethical necessity

    but also an economic one. Employees who are not wor-

    rying about home problems all day produce more, and

    high producvity leads to increased prots. Workplaces

    of the future can no longer demand only the headof their

    employees, but must also include the heart as well. It

    is esmated that 66% of all stress-related problems are

    the result of abusive, unsasfying, liming or ill-dened

    relaonships in the workplace or out of it. The 1992 Royal

    Bank Leer stated, Human resources management willincreasingly dwell on matching corporate needs with per-

    sonal needs as the compeon to hire skilled, educated

    and experienced workers intensies.2 Treang people

    as factors of producon or as economic animals is just

    not morally, praccally and socially acceptable any more.

    Enlightened organizaons will value individuals and their

    work.

    Queson: how do we want to live and work to build a

    future worth going to?

    Although my argument may sound silly or harsh to some

    reading this, lets think again.

    Business is now starng to factor in things that are

    impacng its very core processes all the me now. Of

    course, the millennials, for good or bad, are hammer-

    ing at the door and also entering in and making changes

    about whats going on inside! A huge chunk of theworking populaon is beginning to say no to only being

    organizaon people. Total commitment to organizaons

    is out because (1) commitment to the personal agenda

    is trending in, (2) the increasing presence of women and

    the push to a partnering model is more extensive, and

    (3) people have longer memories now about how they

    were treated during the recession. As in the recession

    of the early 80s, employees have experienced that even

    though they may have given their best in some cases,

    their all to the corporaon when the going got tough

    in the recession of the 90s, they were disposed of, got rid

    of; they were disposable. Employer-employee loyalty wassacriced to the god of restructuring.

    Figure 1: The work-home equaon

    Thus, the work-home equaon looms larger than ever.

    The Independent, a leading naonal daily in Japan,

    recently said that the countrys way of life needs chang-

    ing because people had been used too readily as fodder

    for economic success. The younger workers have now

    discerned that they were just economic animals. In an

    earlier Japanese recession, their bubble economy gave

    way to credit card debts. suicides, and bankruptcy among

    workers. Their feeling of being exploited by low pay and

    long hours then began pushing them to rethink theirwork equaon.

    The work-home equaon says that both work andhome

    must be factored in now. Japan is but one example. Over

    the years organizaons have oen stated that human

    resources were their main resources. That senment

    cannot be just words any more. While at one me I

    would have bought into the value of a companys human

    resources and even wrote an 873-page textbook with

    the word resources in the tle I no longer subscribe

    to that noon. Human resources are oen now also

    seen as strategichuman resources, that is, not only are

    they resources to be usedby an organizaon but now

    these tools, known as resources can have a strategic

    focus as well. Ask yourself: is a person a resource like

    any other resource? Can a person be viewed strategi-

    cally as a means to an end? With fewer employees doinmuch more work for more quanable producve goals,

    organizaons will have to be especially vigilant around

    the human factor. Some may say, But we have the up-

    per hand; employees need us; where else will they get a

    job? True, in some cases. But employees who bite their

    tongues by holding back workplace resentments, hosli-

    es and cynicism for fear of losing their jobs only create

    more problems in other ways for their employers. Rudy

    Kuzel, local United Auto Worker president at a Chrysler

    Corp. engine plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin, puts the mat-

    ter very bluntly: Theres more than one way to be on

    strike. All you have to do is exactly what the boss tellsyou and the place will self-destruct.

    But there are addional elements to this work-

    home equaon. Eecve managers and supervisors have

    always realized the importance of the link between the

    employee and home. Today, there is not just a realiza-

    on but a need to bridge this work-home dimension.

    Many companies, such as Dupont Co., Marrio Corp.,

    Stride Rite Corp., Time Warner Inc., Xerox Corp., Bank of

    Montreal, and Johnson & Johnson have the equivalent o

    a manager for the work-home issue. The Johnson & Johnson credo, for instance, has always guided the acons of

    its employees and has been admired by many during the

    years. Now they have added the statement, We must be

    mindful of ways to help our employees fulll their family

    responsibilies.

    Praccally speaking, the work-home equaon begins to

    be resolved in organizaons when child care and work

    opon responsibilies are factored in. These are not the

    only consideraons, but organizaons now understand

    that one approach does not t every employee. With

    the onset of many single parents, and with women withthe main responsibilies oen for children, it is obvi-

    ous that child care provisions are crical if organizaons

    want to hold the aenon of these female employees.

    Many employees have elderly parents themselves now

    with elder-care becoming a major concern. As far back as

    2001 it was esmated that four million people in Canada

    would be age 65 and over, with the greatest increase

    being in the age group over 85 and that elder-care would

    aect 80% of the Canadian workforce. It is now 2016.

    and the work we do. Indeed, future shock is now present

    shock. Yet one thing we must always keep in mind: the

    purpose of business is not shareholder return. The value

    maximizaon of shareholder investments should come

    afera good product and rm, not the other way around

    as it is for many businesses. No doubt business owners

    must work diligently at increasing shareholder return butthis must always be done in lock-step with aligning and

    auning itself to its rst purpose of the rst of business:

    the good of employees and then the good of commodi-

    es. The business must be organized accordingly. In this

    way we stand a chance to gain balance something that

    many in 2016 will say is quite out of whack. Ironically, in

    talking with employees even ones who are diehard fans

    of maximizing shareholder returns as the primary pur-

    pose of business will, at the end of the day, agree that if

    this means that employees get trampled and outsized and

    downsized and right-sized, etc., etc., that way of doing

    business is ethically wrong. No wonder that going postaland workplace violence has increased tremendously to

    say nothing of home violence. We know those stories too

    much because they are front-and-centre on television and

    in the daily newspapers.

    People now realize that having worshipped at the 80s

    altar of greed and acquisiveness has not brought hap-

    piness and serenity. Rather, its shadow or demon side

    took over in many situaons. We all know to well the case

    stories of the Enrons of this world, the enormous salaries

    and, if we take into account the noon of the com-

    mon good we must say the unethical salaries for sports

    gures. People realize that being some-one is not the

    result of havingor doingsome-thing, but rather, the fruit

    of personal integrity and decision making, that is, valuing

    the human. Even the 2015 reports in from earnings for

    the big banks in Canada show the top wage earners are

    exactly there at the top! The middle group of employees

    and lower many have been downsized, a euphemism

    for got rid of. This statement may sound harsh but it is all

    in line with the paradigm in use for the past 200 years:

    mechanism. Mechanism means that life and especially

    business is now quantave, linear. What does not lineup with that dynamic is simply dismissed employees

    or product lines. Sadly, we have been told that we live

    in a disposable society but even more sad is that people

    are now disposable. Our moral compass has been put

    aside or broken. Its now prots before people. A cursory

    reading of the fall of Rome unequivocally shows that he

    main pillar holding everything together was really the

    moral compass and community. It may have taken a few

    hundred years for the total collapse, but it did happen.

    The signs of the mes are everywhere. Fewer employees,

    more producvity. Knowledge workers, employer vulner-

    ability. Global organizaons, oen unprotected employ-

    ees. Shareholder value is god. The credo: all acvies

    in the rm must be geared to making ROI happen and if

    employees get in the way, well, aer all, they are simply

    resources like any other resource and can be disposed

    of or manipulated as seen t. But some over the lastnumber of years have pushed back. Roman Herzog, for

    example, who was president of Germany in 1998, stated

    that it is not acceptable that the price of the shares of

    the rm rises with the number of employees laid o.

    This is tough stu for those whose moral compass is

    locked on the god of acquisiveness.

    We are, and have gone through, an enormous quantum

    leap and change in the values we hold, the lives we live,

    IS THIS WHAT WE

    REALLY

    WANT?
