Continuing education and training is an integral part of many companies. Education has also reached an amazing level on an informal basis. Hundreds of cable channels will reach into homes in the very near future. Computers are becoming as common as toasters in homes, with our children outstripping most of us in their grasp of computer potential. CD-ROMs and the vast computer information highway can direct minds in a multiplicity of directions.
Educated people are accustomed to being asked for input rather than being told what to do.
American workers today look for a responsiveness from managers and coworkers to their own ideas and ways of doing things. People today have more legal rights than ever before and expect to use them and to be protected by them. Further, people in the work force know how to use them. The worker of today extends the entire concept of rights to the dignity of the individual - the work force today looks for ethical and moral leadership and a sense of unity and cooperation among workers. The work force today is composed of great diversity.
