You can`t turn on the news without hearing about people getting fired and nobody really knows when this crisis will be over. I understand that the companies might have to lower their budgets and cut down there expenses so they can survive, but I also get the feeling that somewhere along the line, someone are forgetting that people are the most important asset.

So consider this.

If you let us keep our money, our buildings, and our products, but take our personnel, we’ll go under. But if you take our money, our buildings, and our products, and let us keep the people, we can build it all up again in 10 years.

Now, some companies might say that they know this and that it is a part of the core values that defines the company, but have you asked the employees?

It is more important than ever to make sure that the employees thrive at work, that they feel secure so they can be effective and perform well. Failing to do so will without a doubt bring the company down.
