Openness
Businesses rely on various resources, but the human resource is its most important resource. Organizations should perceive this human power as individual people, with different backgrounds, education levels, communication styles, opinions and concerns, and in relationship to each other forming teams. Each individual is vital to the success of the business and addressing each employee as an important part of the business team helps foster a healthy environment where workers feel comfortable and productive.
