Re: Job benefits

One important benefit is to have managers/supervisors that aren't complete TWITS (< insert a different vowel or remove the required constanant if applicable).

You know, have a promotion/recuitment policy such that you have a large proportion of real managers who have had hands on experience of the job rather than ones who have done nothing else since leaving "Manager School".
If there is one thing I used to hate when working for other people is that you were often made to feel that you must "live to work" (when most people really just work to live). If employees are to feel part of the company and if the company want to get the best out of the employee then they must be allowed to get involved if they want to and that means genuinely listening to their concerns and suggestions as a matter of policy (and perhaps being rewarded for them in some way).
It is surprising what kind of jobs some people will put up with for the sake of earning an existence on this planet but providing they are allowed to be truly happy doing it then that has to be good for everyone. Some people don't want to be deeply involved and are content to just do their time and then go home without having the feeling that they have been abused all day.
