As you no doubt are aware by now, I am always on the look out for things which can inspire me to bring new ideas into the Telstra workplace. Now, I am the first to admit that occasionally my ideas may originate somewhere to the left of normal thought, but I hope you find this one worthy of your consideration. You may not know that I am a keen follower of the wonderful world of current affairs, and as such have up to date on the trial proceedings of Schappelle Corby. As we all should know by now, she dodged the penalty for importing drugs into Indonesia. This got me thinking. Lets face it, there is no real deterrent to staff to not make mistakes. Yes we have the Smyle procedure which we can use to alert team leaders of disciplinary errors, but how effective has this process really been? Sure you get a short talking to about the your mistake, but then what? There are few if any consequences for your actions as long as you give your word that you'll improve. This begs the question - who can you trust? I'll tell you who - NO ONE. In this modern age of international terrorism and Port Premierships you cant rely on anyone to keep their promises. I have an idea to 'encourage' people to improve their work. Quite simply - introduce fear into the workplace. this can be done in a number of ways but the most simple, introduce the death penalty for serious offences - this could be done in a variety of ways,, or you could have a "penalty of the month". My preferred method is the firing squad. - there are other options ie. gas chamberss, lethal injections, marriage. Think about it, how much better would we work, how much more efficiency could be squeezed out of staff if we threatened to kill them. I understand the legalities involved, so perhaps we can just ship these losers off to Indonesia with several kilos of drugs hidden in their luggage. Let them do our work for us. Note: This could also be used for staff redundancies. Just think of the money that Telstra could save if instead of paying people off in packages and doublehandling and time spent chasing up staff errors, we simply eliminated the offenders. I think the message would get across after the first people were lined up and blind folded outside the pirie st building. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
