THE DIGNITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL - AT WORK, HOME AND PLAY

Times are bad enough for people who have lost their jobs because of the current economic crisis. But what about the people left behind!? They’re the ones who are expected to achieve the benefits intended from any staff reductions.

The remaining staff will be thankful they still have a job. But also they are now under even greater pressure to perform, to do more with less staff or financial resources. Mere survival becomes a key indicator of the organisation’s success. Surviving to continue producing, selling and growing - almost irrespective of profit levels.

Human resources are no longer the primary focus. Now its human behaviour - managing the mental processes needed to achieve and sustain high productivity:

1. The mental clarity to effectively process complex information and knowledge, building to wisdom
2. The sustained high levels of emotional energy needed to drive the process
3. Maximising the self esteem, self confidence, sense of self worth, enthusiasm, creativity and lateral-thinking that is the essence of high quality work output
4. the constant development of personal growth and maturity that will ensure the business is still there and growing in the months and years ahead

Such behaviour can be encouraged and motivated but it can never be forced. The drive comes from within each individual, irrespective of their level in the organization. In this context, its like having a flat-line organization structure – every one from the most junior assistant to the CEO is equal.

The dignity of the individual’s natural uniqueness is at the core of Peter's speaking presentations and Peter’s 30+ years of professional experience comes to the fore. This work has entailed observing the human behaviour of thousands of people of all ages and in all walks of life, at times when they come alive, unleashing their natural skills and talents.

With the line between work and personal life becoming a 24/7 blur, the search to understand employee behavior is now going beyond the workplace into the realm of total human behavior.
