โฆ Synopsis
As the employment relationship changes from a paternalistic model of loyalty-for-jobsecurity to an adult-to-adult model of creativity and skill application exchanged for increased knowledge and learning opportunities, the worker had gained power as a resource, if not the last strategic competitive advantage of value for today's organizations. Understanding this, individuals are now rethinking their reasons for organizational engagement and reexamining work in regards to wholeness and personal value integration. Evidence suggests that individuals are seeking to align themselves with groups and workplaces committed to similar core values. Work, itself, is no longer viewed as an economic livelihood, but is emerging as a critical environment for the sharing and integration of like values and beliefs. Cognizant organizations are coming to realize the survival rationality for creating workplaces that are nurturing and healing by naming, claiming, and aligning core organizational values with business visions and objectives.
