description This document explores the concept of “a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay,” emphasizing the roles of both associates and managers in achieving this balance. It discusses eight agree/disagree statements to highlight common management beliefs and their impact on associate productivity. The authors argue that factors such as inclusiveness, appreciation, and effective communication are more critical than job security and wages. They also challenge the notion that people naturally resist change, suggesting that resistance often stems from a lack of involvement in decision-making. The document aims to guide managers in fostering a productive and motivated workforce. Original publication date May 2001.
