What If Other Places Worked Like Morgan Wilshire?

By Rob Sutter


I'm sure you find yourself in a job that feels like there's no end in sight. Yes, you constantly move forward but you can't safely say that there's a reward waiting for you; there's little of a pot to be found at the end of the rainbow, to be certain. Why should people be driven to work when they believe that there is no incentive to do so? Morgan Wilshire doesn't follow this and instead grants its workers incentive, thereby increasing work rate on the whole.

I'll go as far as to say more companies should take up a mindset akin to Morgan Wilshire. I believe that if workers are more driven, they will more likely than not put forth more of an effort that they would if they didn't feel like they were noticed. For example, shouldn't a banker be noticed more if he or she is able to convince more people to open up direct deposit for their checks at work? This is one instance where companies can look to investment firms such as M.W.S. for influence.

What if a video game designer was working for a smaller group and they had their first title release into stores? Reviews are going to vary depending on a litany of factors like graphics, sound, and gameplay. If the reviews are glowing from both gamers and critics alike in terms of gameplay but not so much the graphics, then the one who worked on the physics engine should be acknowledged over those who didn't have a great part in it.

What about in retail, where many people consider their jobs to be thankless? If any one industry in the world could stand to use a Morgan Wilshire-like business model, it had to be this one. Being in a smaller position in retail myself at one time, I know all too well how it's like to do the very best work you had imaginable and not be recognized for it. It's a very demanding job with little incentive to work harder, making it ideal to take up the aforementioned model.

It's clear to see why Morgan Wilshire possesses a body of work that practically everyone would want to incorporate. At least they should, since it baffles me just how many industries don't value the workers who do the best work. It should be a simple concept but it seems like it's lost on a lot of people within different businesses. This particular investment firm is far different, though, and I hope that other businesses take note.
