>> Just curious about something... if you off your employees a risk to reward employment scenario, do you also offer a level of real control to help navigate the risk? My employers goals and objectives may not be the same as mine in a given situation, so I would want to have enough direct control to be able to influence the decisions that would affect me, my income and so on.<<
This is dependent on many things, but the size of the company is going to be a huge part of it. Here is one simple example: you work for a company with 1000 employees, how much influence is one of the workers in the trenches going to have on the overall profitability? Depends right? Depends on the profitability of the position. In the case of knowledge workers maybe more than someone in an administrative role. The smaller the company the better a chance for impact on the profitability, even for someone in the administrative role. It is also very dependent on the structure of the company. In a consulting firm the developers have a direct impact on billables. In a IT department of a company that sells widgets, the developers are a cost center in the eyes of management. So the perspective on impacting profitability is completely different.
