Employee / Employer Relationship

Employee / Employer Expectations

An employer is an organization, company, agency, industry, professional service firm, nonprofit association, small business store or individual who employs or puts work a person who is called an employee. (Susan M Heathfield, 2016)

An employee is hired for a specific job or to provide labor and who works in the service of the employer. (Jean Murray, 2017)

Employers are so difficult to figure out. They always hire talented client. They expect a Perfect Employee. To become a perfect employee, job seekers need to do self-assessment. They must think about what does employer want from them, what they need to know, how should they present themselves and what resources are available to help them prepare.

As employees, they should always be on time. They need to follow directions and accept feedback. It is not a good behavior text and talks on cell phones when while working. As a good employee, responsibilities must take very seriously. They need maintain a positive attitude at all times and treat to supervisors’ and co-workers with respect. And also they need to avoid “this is not my job” mentality. (Kristy Lockhart, 2013)

What employees expect in modern business? Employees want to be treated respectfully no matter what their job role may be. When talking about trust, they want to be able to trust management, and they want management to trust them to do their jobs. Employees want to have friends at work, work in a collaborative environment, and have a good relationship with their immediate supervisors. Modern employees are searching for more meaningful work in the modern business landscape. Employees want to choose when, where, and how work gets done and want to be recognized regularly for their contributions. (George Dickson, 2015)
