Unexplored Spaces In Employment
There are indeed bright hopes in jobs but not thought about or seldom paid attention to.
The question is, are we fully aware and sensitive to our surroundings? The next issue is why we don't think or become considerate in life and issues involved? If we begin to think seriously and explore further possibilities, we will find spaces vacant to be worked on.
Take an example of a sweeper, a helper or a care taker.
We readily take for granted these jobs.
Firstly we are still prigish and fussy in these matters.
God knows when we shall come out and overcome these baseless ideas and feelings in developing countries.
More than formal and surface level knowledge we have about and assume them such lowly held in esteem jobs, there is more to say.
Neither the object i.
e those engaged in these jobs as employees and nor the subjects who employ or hire them are actually sensitive to changed needs and times.
Workers still work and masters still hire them for these jobs.
Both are engaged in an interaction of a stereotype system.
But there needs to be a bit of sensible rethinking.
The masters need to give a serious thought to the untapped potential among the workers though they may be generous and humane is a matter apart.
On the side of workers, they may be holy cows no doubt but that doen't solve the root issue.
The much more important issue is a new approach to jobs and not new jobs to create which is not possible at all times.
Modern times demand modern sensibility rather than traditional approach.
The important thing is space left outside the thinking dimension of an ordinary worker.
He or she should not take for example cleaning just as formal or stereotype activity with dusting and sweeping.
Still there is more than formalities.
They should not be feeling content and satisfied with cleaning walls, carpets, floors that go with job in routine.
A little basic and initial training to an ordinary cleaner will help him to clean sophisticated gadgets and devices which has scope for both learning something new and adding to the existing income.
These gadgets and equipments may be regularly or seasonal in use.
No doubt they need finer sensibility to maintain and demand careful attention and agility.
The costly furnishings and fitments in homes like chandeliers come in the same list.
Most people if the workers show keen enthusiasm and interest in adopting such a finer approach and sensitivity to a considerable degree, are willing to lend part time jobs for such purpose.
This is in keeping with the modern over business.
There are families who like to spend time on other important issues.
And they have no time to spare to do such jobs by themselves.
What ever the reason, the left space can be availed fruitfully by those who want bread and butter without fuss.
This space is created unwittingly in which both parties are responsible.
The employers are not convinced that the workers they have engaged have such a potential to be so sensitive and refined and can be assigned to handle costly materials.
They fear damage to property.
Their fears may be genuine no doubt because the element of the unexpected and uncertain cannot be ruled out.
Equally true is that they cannot live with this bothering notion all through life.
One day they have to come to terms with it.
As for the common workers they had had no chance to handle costly articles other than common devices and the like.
They having been accustomed to age old traditions nourish a kind of unknown fear that they are unable to handle costly articles and so cannot even imagine to take an initiative for something new.
They always prefer to avoid damage rather than thinking to do something new and may even stay idle as the some old job have many more to attend.
The space thus created reveals the baseless fears, notions, and lack of initiative as causes to create it.
Without any change in the status of the either sides it tends to be prolonged and the potential untapped and unused in a new way lies redundant.
The real need thus emerges to manage this space by filling it with human resources hitherto not utilized and assimilated by new approach which will create new opportunity rather than new jobs in employment.
For this purpose all the parties have to take initiative and build mutual faith and trust in them.
For the common workers it is high time to adopt soft skills and become innovative in hard skills with a finer hand and supple handling and say good bye to the age old notions, slumber, lassitude and lethargic attitude for good other wise the harsh reality of modern life with challenges will force them into oblivion in the face of changing world, rising prices, and lack of job opportunities and they will keep complaining and whining all the time and never catch up with the modern world.
