SEPTEMBER 15. 1954 Obligation Himself An The most outstanding obligation an employee has to his company is loyalty in the broadest sense of the word. Loyalty on the job or off duty. In the case of off the job loyalty we wish to point out an employee owes it to his company to speak well of his employer and when occasioned express his aDDreciation for his working conditions and personal treatment as a satisfied employee. Loyalty on the job comprises many outlets for an employee to fulfill his obligation to his company. As loyalty and honesty go hand in hand then an employee should always feel obligated to put forth an honest days work. He should put every resource at his command into maximum first class production. One should feel it his obligation to make known anything detrimental to the welfare of his company. An employee is obligated to take care of company furnished tools and other working equipment. The better care we take of these articles. the longer they can be of beneficial value; consequently lower operation cost to your company. Lower operating cost means more profits for your company and more wages for you. To report to work on time as well as do our best to not miss any work days is our obligation to our company. Should one report late to work, his job is interrupted at least temporarily. In case an employee is unable to report to work any day or days it is his responsibility to notify his foreman as soon as possible. To fail to report an aDsence disrupts work lineups and office reports as well. To be prompt to notify your foreman means better company operations. Better company operations results in a sounder place of employment. In the case of new employees; those already employed should establish a friendly relationship as soon as the occasion arises. The confidence that a new employee finds in his new fellow workers is the foundation upon which on the job harmony rests. A direct obligation of an employee to his company is to keep safety foremost in his thoughts. Not only for your own safety; also, your fellow employees. Unsafe machinery in operation should be reported as there is a chance such a condition is producing inferior products and endangering employees. As we spend much of our time on the job we should keep our work areas in a good housekeeping condition. A neat work area presents no accident hazards, but aids greatly in increased production. A work area that is congested with trash, tools or finished products tend to dis s Of An Em d To His Co tract employees from performance of their duties. Such distraction can come in the form of mental or physical disturbance resulting often times in personal injury or damage to products or machinery. Consequently we can easily see it our obliga nun 10 Keep me cause removed so as to avoid future regret. Fulfill this obligation by doing good housekeeping. It is an asset to your company for you to have at least a fair knowledge of first aid. The knowledge of first aid will assist an employee greatly in public relations with his fellow workers and shall be beneficial in reducing accidents on or off the job. as the grim reminder of the qualities of an injury are impressed upon his mind through the work in first aid. An employee is obligated to his company from a standpoint of his own security. Our future security is dependent upon our perfection in production. Our companv is only as strong as the labor within its organization. Like as to a chain being only as strong as its weakest link. t . i * i,ei us as employees strive to make our section so strong as to have strength to lend to a weaker link should there ever be the need. The health of an employee is a concern of his employer. An employees obligation along this line is physical fitness, keeping his body in good repair and top working condition in order to perform his duties well. Proper sleep and rest before a work shift is essential to an employees health and work ability. Many companies furnish their employees with such free service as parking lots, safety devices such as eye glasses and gloves, ice water coolers, first aid. medical care, and various other benefits of which are all too many times taken for granted. Every employee should feel it his direct obligation to show his appreciation by his use and care of these facilities offered bv his company. Recreational programs offered by your company for your entertainment and enjoyment should not be treated lightly. An employee could ' Nancy Alexander, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Alexander, Lydia Spinning, celebrated her seventh birthday August 18. HE CLOTHMAKEI ployee To impany best express his appreciation in attendance or participation in company entertainment activities. A dissatisfied employee owes it to his company to discuss his complaint with his department supervisor. This plan of airing one complaint is far better for all persons concerned, than to harbor your thoughts or complain to your fellow employees. Many are the times when a dissatisfaction can be turned to a benefit to employee and company alike, once it has been given fair consideration. As we live in a free country under a democratic government, so let us work in accord with our fellow employees, being ever mindful of our obligations to our company and striving to strengthen the foundation of our existence. An employee who carries out the full definition of loyalty, service and friendship is truly fulfilling his obligation to his company.
