Employee Fair Treatment Principles

Chapter Chapter 5 in Servant Leader Human Resource Management, 2014, pp 93-124 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract SLHRM organizations possess a passionate commitment to dignified employee treatment. Employees are not just “resources,” but human beings with emotions, families, and souls. Promoting employee rights is a foundational servant leadership principle. How we interact with employees is an essential interface between core servanthood and stewardship values in an organizational decision-making environment that typically possesses a schizophrenic view toward employees. In one perspective, employees are human beings with souls while from another standpoint they are instrumental “costs” of production that must be minimized in our hypercompetitive marketplace. Which of these views prevails? For SLHRM organizations, the response is simple: employees are not costs, but the human flesh and blood foundation of the enterprise.
