Abstract

Long-service employees usually reap advantages such as enriched pensions, more sick leaves, choice of work shift, and even relative immunity to layoffs. Psychological benefits, such as lenient work-rule application, noticeably greater deference from supervisors, and unexpected "nice things happening," are also found where enlightened managers are in charge. They can go far toward re-instilling allegedly diminished employer loyalty, with all that such a renaissance can mean for long-run competitive success and Total Quality Management.
