The philosophy of human relations is expressed in the following ten basic tenets:
(i) The industry exists for the individual and not the individual for the industry.
(ii) An individual enterprise, in its operation, must take full account of the social, spiritual, and economic needs of the individual as an employee, as a stockholder, as a consumer, and as a member of society.
(iii) Sound company personnel policies and practices must be designed to safeguard and promote the rights, interests and welfare of employees as persons.'
(iv) The relationship of the individual with the enterprise is a basic one-irrespective of whether there is or is not a trade union in the plant. The policies and activities of government, of labour unions, or of a management in the field of industrial relations must be judged in the light of whether they promote or jeoparadise this basic relationship.
(v) Loyalty is not an "either-or" proposition. There is no basic consistency or incompatibility between an employee's interest in his unit and his acceptance of a trade union membership.
(vi) The co-operation of the individual in the productive process must be won and deserved. It cannot be forced.
(vii) Employers should, as far as it lies within their control, work for and provide the maximum degree of economic security for their employees.
(viii) The individual employee, in respect of his status, rights, prospects for advancement, and his economic well-being, is inescapably linked with the success of the enterprise by which he is employed.
(ix) No policy, whether it be of the management of or labour, which violates or affronts the rights and freedoms of the individual, can long survive in a free society.
(Ð) A free society has the obligation to uphold and safe guard the rights and privileges of the individual and see to it that this principle is effectively expressed in national policy.
