Prohibitions at work: what lengths employers go to for retaining employees

Abstract: Personnel shortages force companies to reduce the requirements for applicants, increase salaries, soften working conditions, and give more freedom. It is impossible to refuse prohibitions, because they are necessary to ensure order in enterprises and are required by law. Inevitably, there will be some bosses forbidding something beyond measure and employees considering any restrictions as arbitrariness and invasions of privacy. The editorial staff of the “Geolnfo” journal asked some experts about what the prohibitions should be, how to convey them to personnel so that they are correctly perceived, and what concessions companies agree to make so that people don’t quit.
