I have asked a few managers in my time: “why are you not interested in or willing or able to invest in the goodwill of your personnel?
The answer in some form or another was always that the beancounters can not put a number to goodwill into their spreadsheets.
Besides the fact that they can, since there have been multiple reputable studies done to prove that you can (between 8-12% of your salary costs), their disinterest is now biting them in the ass.
Can you imagine a workforce that will bend over backwards to help out your company in your time of need in stead of giving you the middle finger that you have shown them for years?
I can, because I used to be part of one.
Just not in HKG.
Too bad, the responsible people have already lined their pockets, but fortunately there is a thing like “karma”.
