THE "AVERAGE" EMPLOYEE

Average employee do exist and will in future. But average in what? and it depends on the organisation to identify this trait and utilise his skills in the right areas where he can excell. Identification is a process and there are instances where an average employee have excelled by proper mentoring, change of job roles, creating the sense of belongingness and bringing the sense of pride in their work.

yaah , average employees do exist, now a days "What Gets Measured Gets Done" policy is being deployed in most of the companies, but it doesn't means that an ave employee wont get his position.. an ave employee , might not be very competitive, but have some of various qualities, and capabilities,for eg. they can perform very limitedely/ slowly but are able to do that much of job with a touch of perfection..so i think they do exist and they will in future,, as some where we need such employees ..

yes they do...but it is very difficult to document the reasons behind them...reasons may vary from standard corporate problems to own personal reasons...it would be better if any existing corporatively-bullying employer goes other way round his method of emplyoeeing , then this average employee might turn into the new confident emloyee

The average employee exists merely because of the preference of such people. Performance is driven by the self motivation of the employee and people who tend to remain in the average category are classified in the category due to the difference in drive or interest in getting it done. Of course there is a bell curve philosophy used by most companies to put people in different levels, but there is no concept of average in reality.

today many employee are average in Technical level so they wont to next company provided if they are getting good salary.and other things

i am not professional, unlike many here..but i m here to support to the fact the employees do exists, n indeed dr r many factors which support this concept. initially it was just a simply assessment tht ws done on employees, but today everything is so specific, that the mode of appraisal is more precise and appropriate, rather thn being vague. n based on tis factor employees r later categorized into de so called teams mentioned by one of the debators fo development of dr interpersonal skills.tis means its not only an added advantage for de organization,  but also for the employee himself.probably a decade ago, u barely find employees leaving orgn after a months time, or mayb in a yrs time, but today de scenario is totally different.the organization is spendin dr share of cost or investment in training such employess, who they wil quit some day soon. i guess de(co.) r definitely not out  of dr mind to do so. but the reality is this, employees have always bein valued and considered, and today de r considered more thn before..cz of their level of knowledge, skills and ability. :)

Employees have always remained the same. What has changed is the industry which is become more competitive. It is for the employers to set parameters right. It is the employer to get a right fit for the job role and get their employees achieve their goals....rest all will fall in place
