fairness

According to the "Fairness Barometer", the German population considers consideration, respect and justice to be the most important aspects of fairness. According to the "Fairness Barometer 2008" (representative survey at the end of 2007), not even 40% of the population consider employers and companies to be "rather fair" or "very fair". Half of citizens consider employers and companies to be unfair.
Studies have shown that unfair conditions within companies contribute to increased absenteeism, increased theft and turnover. Fair conditions, on the other hand, increase work performance, affective commitment, identification with the company and innovative behavior.
In principle, anyone can become the target of unfair attacks.
To prevent this from happening in the first place, fairness should be established as an essential leadership skill.
This requires a comprehensive concept in which the following should be documented, among other things: the relationship between superiors and employees as the key to management success, clear rules for resolving conflicts, a functioning complaint management system and the immediate sanctioning of unfair behavior.
Fairness is also expected from the company and its employees towards new entrants/interns (pay!), customers and business partners as well as towards the public.
