Question 15: many believe it is equally important for a company to retain the workers it already has on staff. What is the best way for a company to encourage its employees to stay at the company instead of seeking a different job elsewhere?
In my perspective, a strategy that a company can exploit to retain its existing workers involves creating a work environment where each employee can leverage their own intrinsic talents. The conceptions of organizing such a workplace atmosphere may well vary depending on individuals, respectively. However, what this essay embarks on addressing is all about one of the feasible drawbacks of performance evaluation, namely, dehumanization.
Performance appraisal itself is desirable in that it can motivate employees to contribute more to their company, accelerating the company’s growth, but there lies a significant problem beyond its benefits. Employees who receive favorable evaluations might perceive themselves as superior to others, potentially behaving as if they have the privilege to belittle those who are considered as underperforming. This issue arises when people fail to distinguish differences between the inherent value of a human being and their value based on performance.
The idea that an individual’s worth is determined by how capable he or she is can lead to the dehumanization of employees, driving them into believing they are merely cogs in the machine named as company. Paraphrasing it, whether the coworker they are working with deserves their respect is concluded by whether he or she is a good performer, functioning well as a diligent cog in the company. This notion may seem to be absurd, but it is happening, and we quite frequently come to see them. For example, we often see employers or managers yelling at or abusing their subordinates for their underperformance or unsatisfactory outcomes. Another instance of it would be employees subtly looking down at their colleagues who are unsuccessful. It becomes evident that individuals experience harsh and unfair treatment not in accordance with their intrinsic value but rather based on their perceived lack of performance. Such a kind of psychological abuse for sure potentially leads employees to move to another company.
Another problem of dehumanization of employees is knowledge hiding, which refers to the intentional attempt by an individual to withhold or conceal knowledge that has been requested by another person. While most people believe knowledge hiding comes with a rigid, competative, or poor motivational workplace atmosphere, the discouragement of employeees due to dehumanization can also contribute to this behavior.....
