Poor communication when looking for collaborators can cost organizations a lot, says an expert. One of the most frustrating problems faced in the job market is also one of the easiest to fix: lack of communication. The candidate sees a vacancy online, captures his CV, is contacted and everything seems to be going well.  They promise to call him the next day, but that doesn't happen.  He only listens to silence, then comes the doubts (what did I do wrong?) and the annoyance at the lack of follow-up.  Even if that person gets a call after a week or two, the chances of him being open or enthusiastic are slimmer.

We tend to believe that the commitment and loyalty on the part of the collaborators towards the organization tends to arise spontaneously.  Nothing could be further from the truth, since it is a force that must be kept alive every day through the maintenance of the elements that constitute it.  Among these components are: An inclusive business style of thought that makes the worker feel that they have a place, developing affiliation and a sense of belonging. A set of values ​​among which shared commitment is one of the most relevant. A code of ethics that reinforces the role of commitment as one of the factors that drive qualit...
