Employees have the right to serve their companies as it is stipulated in their contracts. Employers on the other hand have the responsibility to provide a decent source of living, to follow what was agreed on the contract and to give benefits that will improve the employee's life and even boost their morale.
As I have seen and experience in my previous work and current work, it is disappointing that the employer/management do not give ample training about the rights of each employee. More often than not, the employers take advantage of the fact that the employees do not know anything about their rights and what is stated in the law. The employees themselves do not take time to know what is in the labor and civil code that may protect their rights as employees and individuals. There is the mentality that "they (employees) do not know so we can do this" and on one side "we (employees) do not know about that." If we will continue to have this thinking and practice then it will be more difficult for us to move up (improve) in the CSR Continuum, it will be more difficult to engage in ethical practices. As business owners or part of management, we may impose that the company invests in training that make both the employers and employees aware of their rights and responsibilities. The company should adhere to governing laws and organizations such as the civil code, labor code and the Department of Labor and Employment. The company/organization needs to make things right in order for the employees to do what is right. The employers have the bigger responsibility in educating the employees of their rights. And I believe that if we treat our people right, they will give back with utmost care, passion and integrity in their work and practices. Furthermore, we will be able to provide growth and development as well as sustainable and quality living to our employees.
