First do no harm:

Corporate responsibility is to make money for the share holder, but to make monies and last there has to be concern for the public, the employee and the employee’s family
When a corporation look for employees, they look for recruitment and retention.
When a person looks for employment, they will look for fair competitive wages, health and dental benefits and an excellent retirement plan.
George B Bartley, MD CEO Mayo Clinic Jacksonville said in an article “using employers as the primary provider of health insurance is unsustainable. Every year, fewer employers offer insurance benefits and those that do are offloading cost to employees.” (May 15, 2008
Florida Times-Union editorial)
As an employee we expect the corporation to investigate and provide the most cost efficient and reliable benefits available.
An employee looks at the choices and information as truth.
It is expected the corporate management to be accountable and committed to the employees.
During office meeting or corporate meetings it is expected the questions asked and answered are up front and correct. It is based on that information an employee can make a sound decision that not only affects the employee but the employee’s family.
When corporate management says the corporate financial statement, stating the financial standing of the company, is available to the employees. The employee expects honesty and the statements to be true.
Mayo clinic’s paraphrased mission statement says
Provide the best service to all patrons, the needs of the patron comes first
Provide a competitive genre of opportunities for advancement
Use Education to assist and encourage further growth in the field that would advance the company. Encourage diverse community treatment with dignity and respect.
Educate and encourage support for the communities affected by corporate existence… (Mayo’s Mission

Benefits, bonuses and recognition cause retention. Atmosphere and honesty produces loyalty to the company. If the corporation wants high quality recruitment and long lasting retention the corporation not only has to be concern for the bottom dollar ($) line but also for the employee and the employee’s family welfare and well being.

How far should the government go? How far should the government go?When should the government step in to help?When the government steps in to help it should meet the basic needs of the community. Food, shelter, clothing, health care, and quality education are basic needs that should be allotted to any human being.It fills the heart with pride when a government reaches out to a country that has been devastated by an attack. Whether that attack is done by humans or nature, reaching out to help someone less fortunate as a community or country brings a level of pride that is humbling.When we go to sleep we rest with the assurance that we have done all we can to ensure safety for our selves and our family.This particular community of New Orleans and surrounding cities received warning of an attack, but a few decided to stay on the home front.What should the state of Louisiana, not just the local government of the gulf board cities, done to prepare for this disaster?The local government gives an order to evacuate hours before the storm hits, but doesn’t make provisions for those who are unable to evacuate, or those who refused to evacuate.The 2005 census estimates 454,863, in 2004 estimates 461,115. The state prepositions food and water to supply close to 15000 people this is less than 3.5% of the public. It depends on the promises of a Federal funded agency to provide continuing basic needs for the citizens including transportation. Help was available through federal and private funds, but now there is a political game being played. No one on the local or federal level adequately prepared for the people. Property damage was inevitable but the number of human lives lost after the attack could have been prevented or lessened. If the government had meet the basic needs, in a timelier manner.
