Is Chaos Causing Productive People to Turn Over?

As I have posted in several articles recently, Chaos Theory queries whether the butterfly flapping its wings in Argentina can cause a tornado in Texas?

Nature loves chaos. At the root of the atom’s energy is chaos. Chaos is creative. Our body replaces itself continuously and yet we never notice. Maybe it’s why we like to have a drink or listen to music while doing something tedious so it will be more of a challenge.

Notice lately how many natural destructive forces are making the news? At the same time these forces have man hopping. We are dealing with food shortages, climate change, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and drought.

Nothing boring about living on this planet.

Man is throwing in his own two cents with economic melt downs, freedom riots, wars, and concern over who has the nuke. Now all of a sudden we can get radiation as a result of earthquakes added on to rogue nations surprising their neighbors with a nuke  or terrorists slipping someone a dirty bomb.

This is more than a butterfly flapping its wings. People are really assessing their values. The more chaos that is created the more life, love, and relationships start becoming priorities.

Not only does this affect us personally, but it follows people are questioning what they do at work all day. Does their life have meaning? Is their job fulfilling? Are they making a contribution?  Do the people they are working for take a personal interest in them?

An article from the L.A.Times shows an interesting statistic:

“As employment picks up, small companies often see high turnover. Surveys show 54% of U.S. employees want to look for new jobs when the economy improves, said Kevin Sheridan, chief engagement officer of HR Solutions International Inc. in Chicago.

His research shows that recognition, career development and relationships with managers are key factors. Let employees know their efforts are appreciated. Provide training so they can move up the ladder and make sure they feel good about the person they report to, he said.” L.A. Times Karen E Klein

It’s not just about the money. Business is very business centric. The key people who make businesses run are people centric and self centric. The public has become sensitive Brands that treat people well, contribute to the community, and sustain the planet.

Our consciousness is changing. Technology is trying to bring everyone together. It is our subconscious desire to be connected. We know subconsciously that we are connected and we need to establish that connection by electronics and digitally at the moment.

But that consciousness is bleeding over to the work place. Employers should start seeing their organizations as more organic. Everyone wants to feel as part of the whole. The whole has to nurture its parts.

Employers could make their organizations more people centric identifying what makes people passionate about their work. If we want people to activate their dopamine over their work and reach peak performance we need to know their desires for growth, and contribution.

Small and large businesses need to be counseling with key employees to see what turns them on. If their desires for personal actualization can be partially met at their work place, they will be more inclined to grow with the business. If not, they will be seeking work that at the end of the day makes them feel good.
