A GOOD EMPLOYER
SCOPE FOR SELF-EXPRESSION OF WORKERS. ■ ■■■ I am responsible for the management of a business which provides employment for about 70 people, writes a correspondent to the “Spectator.” I am told that I am a good employer. During the last few years particularly I have done all I can to answer the criticisms levelled against modern industry for I believe that it is my responsibility to provide a place of personal freedom where every man finds some means of self-expression in his daily work. But, having gone as far as I can within the framework of the present structure of industry, although I have provided every means of material well-being—the real problems are still present, if dormant; departmental . friction, jealousy, laziness, irresponsibility, etc —symptoms of individual and personal frustration. Together my staff and I have been able to create new conditions, but I know that what is needed still, is new men, and I, as a managing-director, just as truly as the parson have to find and show the way of really getting human nature changed.
