Personal Responsibility and Work
| |
| As the work world becomes more complex personal responsibility is also becoming very important both for the individual and for the organization he or she works for. We live in an age of excuses for our action and see them played out in our news constantly. Yet in the "knowledge" workplace individuals need to become a company of one, held to the highest standards of responsibility, if we are to remain competitive. |

5.5 The HIV/AIDS threat: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Over 25 million workers are infected with HIV/AIDS, and millions
more affected by the pandemic. The ILO has calculated that the size of the
labour force in high-prevalence countries will be between 10 and 30 per cent
smaller by 2020 than it would have been without the effect of HIV/AIDS,
which poses a serious threat to economic growth and development prospects.
Macroeconomic performance is undermined by rising labour costs
associated with the pandemic, through skills shortages, sickness and absenteeism
and reduced productivity and economic competitiveness, resulting in
a shrinking tax base, less foreign investment and fewer jobs. |

2.6 Hazards at work, health and the poverty trap: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Inadequate housing and food, unsafe water, poor sanitation, hazardous
working conditions and little or no access to health care – all of these contribute
to ill health which is one of the main brakes on poverty-reducing development.
Complications arising from undiagnosed or untreated diseases
prevalent in many low-income countries and especially among rural populations
(such as malaria, tuberculosis, gastro-intestinal disorders, anaemia and
HIV/AIDS), combined with the health consequences of hazardous work,
can be deadly and are certainly debilitating. |

3.7 Tackling work-related health hazards: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Most workers living in poverty lack basic health and welfare services
and work in an unhealthy and unsafe working environment. For many, their
home and workplace are one and the same place. Vulnerability to disease
and poor health thus result from a combination of poor living and working
conditions. Most workers in the informal economy work in precarious and
unsafe conditions, without sanitary facilities, potable water or proper waste
disposal. Every year, more than 2 million people die of work-related accidents
and diseases. In many developing countries, death rates among workers
are five to six times those in industrialized countries. More than
160 million workers fall ill each year as a result of workplace hazards. The
poorest and least protected – often women, children and migrants – are
among the most affected. |

Profit at Any Cost?
| |
| Has the economy pushed us so far, the need for profitability grown so strong, that we are willing to sacrifice customer focus? Are we willing to ignore customer safety to avoid a deeper exploration of our business practice that might impact revenues, or force the recall of an unsafe product? |

What Automotive Technology Can Teach Us About the Sales Process
| |
| Do you remember before all the modern safety features were installed in cars? We didn't miss them or feel unsafe, because you as the saying goes, "you can't miss what you never had." It's much the same with sales forces and formal, structured sales processes, they "don't know what they don't know." |
