Money makes the World go round or maybe not

Now don't get me wrong money is a good thing.  I like money especially when it comes to paying bills and buying nice dinners etc.  But it can also change us in ways that are not so good.  Recently I was speaking to someone and they were told by their superiors to make money.  The wanted to the employees to work and yet they failed support the employees.

Now for a company to succeed it needs to make money.  But what if making money does damage to the greatest resource is it really worth it.  The greatest resource is the employees.  How a business treats its employees says a lot about what the heart and soul of that business is.  Look at Enron where many good employees were left high and dry.  There are other companies out there with the same kind of track record.

Now I know the answer from some would be that is the way business operates.  Okay but not all successful businesses operate.  Some businesses that operate with concern for their employees can be very successful because the employees work to make where they jobs better and they get fulfillment out of what they are doing.  Happy employees means that they will want to do their jobs and be successful.
