What If Aristotle Ran Your Company? In Support of Human Capital
By Christos Papoutsy If Aristotle ran your company, what would he do? How would this great and wise thinker create lasting excellence and long-term success in the globalised business community of today? What if Aristotle re-appeared as your chief executive officer? What would be his mission strategy and plan? What advice, guidance and leadership would he suggest that your company follow? The philosophers of antiquity have left us the equivalent of a huge bank account of wisdom from which we can withdraw a wealth of insight applicable both to business and the rest of life, a great harvest of dividends from their treasury of wisdom, common sense, and positive results. These philosophers should be our shadow board of directors, guiding our thinking and actions, as we stand on their shoulders to position ourselves to move forward towards genuine excellence, true prosperity and proficiency. We should not settle for anything less in our efforts to operate corporate socially responsible businesses. Aristotle, who lived from 384 to 322 B.C. and was the beneficiary of Plato, combined the pragmatic ethical interest of Socrates with the systematic mentality of Plato. He brought a talent for careful observation into the service of an incredible analytical ability to see beneath the surface of life. And whenever he thought about human nature, he had insights that are to this day unrivaled for depth and power. So, it's to this wisdom that we now turn for guidance. When he looked around the world, Aristotle saw that human beings pursue different things. Some seek wealth. Others dream of fame. Some long for love. Others lust for power. And others for adventure or security. But Aristotle had the insight that beneath all the surface differences in what we chase, everyone is really after the same thing: happiness. And what Aristotle claimed, many subsequent thinkers have confirmed, that human capital -- consisting of the entire company community, including the investors, board of directors, corporate officers, shipping clerks, salespeople, accountants, stakeholders, customers, vendors, and others -- is seeking to be happy. If we can understand the nature of the happiness that each of us seeks, we can touch the innermost heart of human motivation and unlock the deepest secret of sustainable success in all our efforts together. It's a simple, but powerful concept. Motivation for human capital is the engine that powers a sustainable, profitable, corporate socially responsible company and all of its stakeholders. But happiness is not identical to pleasure. Even so, there should be as many pleasures as possible connected with our work. People do their best when they enjoy what they are doing. Company-citizens should be well paid for what they do, and it's important to give fellow company-citizens the recognition they deserve for a job well done. In preserving this very important form of capital, a business acts from self-interest but promotes social well-being and social justice at the same time. The company can motivate and honour its citizens in many ways. Increased responsibilities can and should be awarded to those citizens who demonstrate an ability to lead and be productive. A business invests in its human capital, too, when it provides better lives and working conditions for its employees and their families. Certainly the enjoyment of money, status, recognition and responsibility can contribute to a happy life or workplace experience. But if we want our fellow citizen to experience a measure of happiness in the work place, we have to do it together, as an entire company of citizens. By working together, we can create a deeper sense of dedication and motivation resulting in remarkable performance -- a noble and worthy goal for all.

Citibank: Bank with the Best Working Environment in Greece April 13, 2006 -- For the second consecutive year, Citibank has been recognised as the Bank with the Best Working Environment in Greece with an award given in the Best Workplaces in Greece 2006 competition. In addition, in the overall ranking, Citibank climbed to the 10th place among the 20 companies with the best working environment in Greece. Aggeliki Christofides, Citibank's Athens-based Human Resources Director, accepted the award on behalf of Citibank in a ceremony that took place on April 11. Participants' ranking was decided based on their evaluation in five major criteria: Reliability, Respect, Justice, Pride and Companionship. Commenting on this honorary distinction, Christofides said: "At Citibank, respect of personality, potential for professional development, fair evaluation, and two-way internal communication are the basic characteristics of our culture." Moreover, she noted that "Citibank’s goal is to be number one with employees and number one with customers. Our distinction in the Best Workplaces competition is the result of continuous investment in time and resources, in order for our working environment to satisfy our employees’ professional and personal needs. We are pleased that our people recognise this effort and made the bank stand out again this year." Citibank's ranking among the 10 companies with the Best Working Environment in Greece automatically qualifies the bank for the list of 100 Best Workplaces in Europe, the award ceremony of which is scheduled to take place in Berlin on the May 17, 2006.
