Abstract

This is an example of practitioner-led research using humanistic management practices in a manufacturer of microwaveable snack foods. The aim was to uncover the extent to which employees found the company’s vision and mission meaningful and to find values which would support the mission and vision. Four values appeared (Family, Ambition, Responsibility, Excellence), to which employees had contributed, and the organisation accepted the new practices which valued employee contributions and extended them to other parts of the group.
