Things You'll Need:
- Work Relationship
- Boss
- Worker
-
Step 1
Bosses promise to compensate workers fairly for the work they perform. Workers promise to work hard to earn the compensation paid to them.
-
Step 2
Bosses agree to provide a positive work environment that will promote employee commitment and engagement. Workers agree to be fully committed to and actively engaged in helping the company achieve its mission and vision.
-
Step 3
A manager can dissolve the relationship if the worker breaks the agreement; and then can form a new relationship with another worker. A worker can dissolve the relationship if his or her skill level increases and there is no work that uses those skills; and may then form a new relationship with another manager.
-
Step 4
Leaders benefit from both existing workers who have matured in experience and skill, as well as new workers who bring fresh ideas and experiences. Workers benefit from new challenges in existing jobs, tasks, and assignments, as well as those presented by working at other companies with different bosses.
-
Step 5
The work relationship can be severed when either the boss or worker takes advantage of or hurts the other. Failing to live up to the agreement, the boss terminates or fires the worker or the worker quits or resigns from the boss. Employee survey research has consistently shown that the number one reason why workers leave a company is poor boss quality.
-
Step 6
Both bosses and workers must acknowledge and show consideration for one other, as well as learn to trust each other in order to overcome challenges.
-
Step 7
Work relationships should promote open communication and mutual understanding. Bosses and workers are to cooperate with one another and use collaborative ways to solve problems and make decisions.
