For this discussion I am choosing the effects of minimal employee benefits,
little paid time off or sick time availability.
General factors that could contribute to an organization choosing to
implement these practices could include a company wanting to save money
by not paying or sick or vacation time or providing minimal coverage.
Another reason could be lack of trust that employees would abuse the
policies.
Negative repercussions of this practice could be high turn-over, not attracting
good talent to your company, employees not feeling valued, cared for, or
cared about.! The company could get a reputation for not treating its
employees well which could not only impact the employees, but customers
could decide not to do business with a company that doesn’t take care of their
employees.
By changing this practice and providing adequate time off for vacation, sick
time or personal leave gives employees a sense of security and a feeling that
the company cares about them personally.! Employees that feel valued often
are more productive and motivated to do a good job and make sure the job is
done well not just done.! People will often instinctually take care of who or
what takes care of them. !They would attract employees who have better
skills and will stay with and grow with the company.! Also, if customers
know that a business treats its employees well, they may be more apt to do
business with that company.!
