WHAT are the main underlying causes of workplace unhappiness? Is it just about kickbacks? ("Workers urged to report bosses demanding kickbacks"; yesterday).
There are all kinds of harassment and bullying at workplaces.
Some bosses ask for sexual favours; others ask for a regular cut of the pay, a pay rise or sales commission, when foreigners are employed.
Such practices will affect workplace morale and productivity.
I hope the Manpower Ministry will make it mandatory for all employment agencies and workplaces to display signs encouraging employees to provide feedback on malpractices.
We must make greater efforts to stamp out illegal workplace practices if we wish to improve our productivity.
