A buisness or organization most vital asset is not the building they drive to every day or equipment or computers it is their people, their employees- without them it is doomed to fail.
I fear that the next generation will not know what it is like to work for one company and be totally proud of what they do, people pass through jobs now every five years or so and businesses no longer look at tenure as a good thing, they rather cut the veterans to bring on the young and inexperience.
There are several reasons organizations now target the 50 and above groups and they are all mostly financial reasons, most time the veteran has worked his or her way up the ladder and has accumulated raises along the way so they can be replaced with a younger model. The biggest issue with that is also along the way those vertans have obtained priceless knowledge and relationships that cannot easily be replaced. But because the people now in power positions did not work their way up the ladder they really have no idea all that these people do on a day to day or what they know.
Another reason is health insurance, as the veteran grows older they most likely may need the use of their life insurance more and that cost more for businesses.
As we grow with technology we need to remember the basics and how businesses profit and grow - it was and always will be the people , the people that turn that computer and answer that phone and shuffle all that paperwork and email and do that manual labor.
Just as important are relationships from owners and management to their employees and from their employees to their customers.
It is all about pride in what you do because you have loyalty and feel respected .
Pretty simple, right ? - Relationships and Loyalty-
Then why don't today's organizations get it ?
