  Should employees be considered as an asset in the organization ? You must have heard that your CEO says our employees are the greatest asset and force behind the company's success? But have you ever felt like as an asset? What if I told you that, as an employee, have you recognized yourself as an asset in your company's financial statement? You might be embarrassed or humiliated. Because the bitter truth is you find yourself as expensive (salary), ( Rouen e 2019 ) on the income statement you are a liability to your organization. The reason for this is that employees aren't technically considered assets or valuable in that sense either. Real estate and physical equipment have been acknowledged as tangible assets since the industrial age, but they no longer drive performance as they once did. However, the source of assets is the patent and trademark that are created by their people. Hence, employees should be valued as a real asset in an organization. Why employees ...

Furthermore, from an employee perspective, adequate compensation ensures they can meet their financial obligations and develop their skill...

Workers in the United States and Britain experienced ( Taylor A, 2025 )  difficult working conditions and low pay at the start of the industrial revolution. As a result, they demanded better working conditions, fair compensation, and job security, which gradually led to the creation of trade unions.

  FORDISM principal application in HRM    In the early 20th century, the Fordism principle was introduced by Henry Ford( Ford motors ) , and it caused the transformation( Lovering J,(2009 )  of the whole manufacturing industry, enabling mass production at a lower cost. As assembly lines were introduced, employees would engage in particular divisions, and it was enabled to mass production efficiently.
