But, there are direct consequences to poor service, decisions, etc. in the private sector. Poorly managed companies eventually face the wrath of their ill-conceived choices. Not all, of course, but as a rule this is what happens. Good companies are generally proactive and tend to be aware of what's needed to keep the entity viable. It's just not the case in the public sector. There's little incentive to improve on things like customer service or dismiss/fire a poorly performing employee thanks to sometimes restrictive labor laws. My personal favorite go to example is public health in Canada. A lot of energy is expunged on what to do to decrease wait times, chronic lack of equipment, access etc. The usual 'solution' is to throw more money at it; even though it's awash in cash. Rarely to the move from the cost-centric aspect into the patient-centric realm. As in, how do we make the hospital experience as best as it could be for (stressed) patients? Instead, we get notes up on the counter demanding we be respectful because bad behavior will not be tolerated. Those sorts of notes are symbolic of a poorly run operation; or else they wouldn't need it. If people are annoyed - LISTEN TO THEM.T.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10275996524128634117noreply@blogger.com
