The Culture Wars have a direct, negative impact on your business.
- Sensitivity Police. Are you spending money on sensitivity training, to avoid suits for discrimination or sexual harassment? The sensitivity field is expanding to include sexual orientation, transgender status and even sexual offenders as protected classes. How many more protected groups can your business afford?
- Domestic partner benefits. Is it really cost-effective to open that very ambiguous door? Are you prepared for the possibility that opposite sex, cohabiting couples might demand equal treatment? Just because some of the large corporations have enacted domestic partner benefits, doesn’t mean it is right for your company.
- Demands for support for alternative life-style causes. Are you creating resentment among your other employees by trying to satisfy the squeaky wheels?
The Culture Wars have an Indirect negative impact on your business
“All family forms are the same and should be treated the same by the law, by business and by society at large.” This statement is a rallying cry of the culture wars. Is it really your experience that all family forms are the same?
- Is your business disrupted by family disruptions among your employees?
- Are you afraid that you are “discriminating” by preferring employees who you have reason to believe are mature and stable?
- Do you have too many people in your organization who won’t trust others, and whom you don’t trust, and who have trouble being part of a team?
- “Diversity is good business.” Have you really found that to be true in your organization? Are all types of diversity really created equal?
- Are some of your diversity programs nothing more than protection money against bad publicity?
- Would diversity really be cost-effective if you weren’t continually looking over your shoulder for sneak attacks by the Sensitivity Police?
- Would you like to help your employees sustain their marriages, without seeming insensitive to the situation of the unmarried?
“Sex is a private recreational activity, with no moral or social significance. It is nobody’s business what I do in my bedroom.” Is this really true? Don’t you end up being concerned with people’s sex lives? Do you have employees who create these problems?
- Employees having affairs and bringing their private dramas to work.
- Employees with family problems, whether with kids, spouses or parents, bringing these issues to work, creating drama and demoralizing their co-workers.
