Employers’ Expecations Vs Employees’ Expectations

Employers and employees have different expectations in the workplace. And when these expectations are not communicated, the parties involved would always end up disappointed.

Employers expect their employees to be punctual, productive, and efficient.

On the other hand, employees expect, a good leadership, fair compensation, job security, and a good work-life balance.

It is always easier for employers to communicate their expectation. However, most employees find it difficult to communicate theirs which might be due to the culture of the organisation they find themselves in.

The gap between these expectations can lead to dissatisfaction and conflict in the workplace.

To close this gap, employers need to communicate their expectations clearly to their employees. How?

■ Setting clear goals and expectations for performance.
■ Providing regular feedback and recognition,
■ Offering opportunities for professional development.

In return, employees need to be proactive in communicating their own expectations and needs to their employers too. This can be done by

■ Enquiring from the line manager/HOD/HR/MD/CEO what they expect from you.
■ Sharing your aspirations and request how they can help you achieve it
■ Demanding a work model and tools that would enhance your effectiveness.

Employers and employees need to work together to establish clear expectations and find solutions that benefit both parties.

By doing so, they can create a more productive and harmonious work environment

Good Culture Integration is an Important Factor in Organizational Development.

One of the most obvious benefits of cultural integration is diversity. It helps individuals learn about, experience, and respect other cultures. This reduces fear of the unknown. It also creates an environment more open to constructive dialog and mutual respect.

One of the biggest challenges organizations face when it comes to culture integration is finding ways to bridge the gap between different cultures and backgrounds. To build a more inclusive workplace, start by promoting diversity and respect for individual differences. Encourage open communication and collaboration, and provide training and support to help employees understand and appreciate different perspectives. By creating a culture of inclusion, you'll not only improve employee engagement and retention but also enhance your organization's reputation and performance.

Benefits of Good Cultural Integration

👉Increased diversity.
👉Increases cultural awareness and promotes respect for employee diversity.
👉Enhances a person's life by enriching it with other cultures.
👉Enhances the workplace environment and increases productivity, creativity, and knowledge.
👉Increases multi-cultural competency.

Cultural integration creates a workplace environment where people can work and create with unity, but not necessarily in unison. Each person can bring their unique perspectives, experiences, insight, and knowledge, resulting in better products and a more efficient work Process.

No one has the Monopoly on Knowledge! Where there is a great culture, people thrive in their spaces.

We have seen the types and the causes of unemployment. Let us see the ways to reduce it.

Here we go …

10 Ways to Reduce Unemployment in nigeria

Here are ten ways for reducing unemployment in Nigeria.

1. Fiscal Policy of Government

Economic plan of any government depends on revenue and expenditure.

Fiscal policy shows how government spends the budget and collects revenues to run the country.

It collects revenue such as corporate and income tax, sales tax, custom duties and tariffs and spends it on repairs of roads and salary.

A Fiscal policy is either expansionary or contractionary, but we are focusing on the former.

Expansionary fiscal policy occurs when government reduces tax and spends more money to make the economy grow.

Because of this growth in the economy, individuals and firms have more money to spend, which raises output. This increase in production adds to growth and lowers unemployment in the economy.

2. Central Bank and Nigeria Monetary Policy

Monetary policy refers to money supply, interest rates, credit in the economy, and rules guiding the financial sector issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on behalf of the government.

Every year CBN makes rules for easy operation of the financial sector. It manages money supply by:

the lending rates going up
the lending rates going down
lending more
lending less

Lending rate affects individuals who borrow from banks to pay for their personal needs and firms who borrow from banks to grow their businesses.

Capital is crucial for any business to survive so companies must borrow at sensible interest rates to make profit.

Monetary policy makes it easy for companies to plan the time to borrow from their banks and do so when interest rates are low.

Getting a loan enlarges their business, which increases output and profit, and helps these companies create more jobs.

3. Government Spending

Due to limited resources and competing needs, it is difficult to get required funds from Government to fix infrastructures that need urgent repairs.

However, if government spends money to repair roads, purchase hospital equipment, and fix public schools, its effect on the economy is visible.

For example to repair any road, government must hire contractors who will employ people to work on the project sites.

The effect, repairing a road, will have on employment is that many laborers will get a job.

The second is that the job increases hired workers purchasing power.

The third is that people will patronize any support businesses, set up near any of the projects sites.

4. Agric Sector Reform

Agriculture is the second largest employer of labor in Nigeria. The agro allied value chain can become the hub for creating more jobs for Nigerians.

Let us use a recent case to support this claim. For example, in December 2016, Lagos state government sold Lake Rice to Lagos residents.

This happened due to a deal between Kebbi and Lagos State for the production of Lake Rice brand, and this alliance created many jobs.

Imagine that all states in the country copy this example, and produce one agric commodity; this would not only reduce unemployment but feed the country as well.

5. Government Intervention in Micro Lending

The government can disburse money to micro finance banks for lending to market women, petty traders, and artisans to stimulate economic growth.

How it will work is that the bank will ask these people to form corporative societies, to enable members get small loans to expand their businesses.

The corporative societies will act as a guarantor for members to ensure borrowers repay the loans.

This plan can help many poor Nigerians become self-reliant and as their business grows; they will create jobs as one of the 10 Ways to Reduce Unemployment in nigeria.

6. Getting Professional Education

Education sets people free from poverty. Educated people, especially professionals are assets to the nation.

For example, a lawyer could specialize in corporate or marine law. These professionals may work in public service or set up their own practice and employ individuals to work for them.

Let us encourage professionalism so they can become employers as one of the 10 Ways to Reduce Unemployment in nigeria.

7. Finishing School

Government has failed to fund the education sector, which have led universities to turn out half-baked graduates with little chance to secure employment.

Thankfully, grooming schools have come to the rescue to retrain and make these graduates valuable and employable.

8. Changing University Curriculum

You can change university curriculum to introduce subjects to train undergraduates for skills that are lacking, but essential for the labor market of today.

The present limited curriculum must change to add subjects such as cybernetics and robotics, computer animation, web courses, data capture, and other technology courses.

If we implement this change, graduates will become qualified for positions in the current labor market and reduce unemployment in Nigeria.

9. Training Entrepreneurs

Government can start a program to train entrepreneurs instead of allowing unemployed graduates to search for jobs that are not there.

For example, the National Youths Service Corp program (NYSC) could become a one-year entrepreneurial training program for all graduates who will pass out to create jobs.

In addition, you can set up an internet business by becoming a blogger, website designer, and copywriter, to reduce unemployment in Nigeria.

10. Setting Up Customer Service Centers

You can set up customer service business, to serve the global community.

All that is required is for employees to accept excellence as a personal value and be able to speak English without any accent, to be able to work for firms abroad.

A customer service center, which can employ large numbers of people, is a doable business that can reduce unemployment.

In Conclusion:

Unemployment is a ticking time bomb, which we must not allow to explode on our faces.

Let us all join hands to provide jobs for unemployed people, mostly made up of youths if we all wish to sleep at night with our eyes closed
