We are people of the disposable society. When an item loses it value we toss it.
It’s a sad thing to consider that we do
the same with human potential. So often,
in the corporate world, an employee is only as good as his/her last 13
weeks. Even if one has a five year
successful track record, you could be tossed aside because you had a less than
stellar 13-week run.
Where is the equity in all of that? Are not individuals worth more consideration
than “what have you done for me lately?”
I watched a video clip today on The
Landfill Harmonic Orchestra. This
community does an amazing job of recycling discarded materials and turning them
into playable musical instruments. Click on this link.

Maybe it’s time we find a way to recycle
individuals as well. There are some
worthy organizations that do a very credible job of this.
What about your workplace? I’m not convinced that the workplace is
stronger and more profitable for all the displaced individuals it has cycled
through in the last twenty years. Surely
humanity is worth more consideration than their latest contribution over a
short window of time.
Just a word to encourage all of us to
value mankind. Value the past contributions
an individual has made and can once again make for the good of your
organization.
