George was an exceptionally talented skilled worker employed in a big automobile industry. He used innovative machining methods and showed very high production in his work. He earned quick promotions and was soon made officer in charge of production of one of the workshop units.
The management was extremely happy with his performance as the head of production of the unit. After a few months, a young qualified management professional was appointed as the head of production of the unit next to his.
Then there was a sudden decline in the production in his workshop unit. The management could not understand the cause for the decline in production from George’s unit. The management policy was to sack the production head who showed a fall in production level.
Nevertheless, George was too good to be sacked. Therefore, the management wanted to find out the root cause for the fall in production. They engaged an employee as a spy and asked him to talk to George and find out the cause. He talked to the spy openly and told him the reason for his lack of interest in work.
Do you know what caused him this set back? He had a grievance that the management had given a new telephone and a young woman secretary to the new production head. The management changed his telephone immediately. They also appointed a young beautiful woman secretary to George.
I am sure you would have guessed what happened after. George showed a record-breaking production soon after the changes.
Recognition plays a vital role in Hr management.
