Employer's Responsibilities and Obligations Towards Employees

Employer's responsibilities and obligations towards employees:

I feel that a company's responsibility to its employees is extremely varied and should be evermore changing to be able to adapt to the fast pace in which the world changes. A company has to decide whether it wants to cross the line into seeing employee satisfaction on the same level as company productivity, or choose a fully ruthless approach to their competition within the market, completely degrading the importance of the employee rights. Examples would be the recent China-EU issue on textile production; due to low wages and an extremely large workforce the Chinese textile companies managed to exceed their quota and put off balance the EU market. These people aren't focused on employee rights, but on company productivity, and they will do their best to achieve a high standard no matter what the cost.

It is my point a view that a company should view its employees as human beings and not robots (as is the case of a high number of major corporations). This includes reducing the work hours, creating a healthy and stimulating working environment and avoiding the usual pressure-ridden atmospheres (the question of which one is more efficient is a whole other topic).
