It used to be forced and rather strict punishment/reward methods that were used to handle the workplace. These methods become less effective when the hierarchy of needs are filled at its basis. Much like educating a child in contrast to teaching a dog. In the beginning they start out at a point where the methods are similar or at least seem much the same in their nonverbal, and action correcting system. As the child gets older other motivations are needed, explaining and manipulating by future reward systems. Then when you reach the teenager and even adult the game is so much more complex. The same is the situation for motivating the modern workplace. The employer has lost his threat based power, much like the parent has towards an adult child. So the game really is how do you make the child love you and want to stay at home. In addition when is it in both employer and empoyees interest to let them go to seek new challenges, and how can you as an employer help in this situation. Also in this isnt there a basis for mutual beneficial exchange of talent between businesses? B2B exchange of HC, without it being to damage competition. In practice make sure the HC is traded to someone that will benefit you and not damage you. This is praticed to some extend, but being more open about it, might actually build a new awareness about it. In return we could expect to see some unique cultural developments.
