Nepotism

 How to recognize "nepotism" ?

Nepotism in workplace is still very common in America. It is not great feeling when someone goes through that. It is understandable for someone to support loves ones.  As we know that blood is always ticker than water. But, when it is pattern for the company to favor their own people all the times over other employees.  Specially when other employees are way better qualified for a position and get passed over.  I’ve seen companies suffer because they keep their family member and best friend in the positions that they have no business being in. And you want to be the right knight, trying to save the situation. Where  the growth is standing  for those qualified employees who get passed over?  However, I believe nepotism is  a heart and soul of any aspect of human life. As an organizational Manager and Entrepreneur  who is trying to be successful in my business this approach is very important for me. Therefore, we have to talk about nepotism in the job place in order to see enhancement change about it. 

 Nepotism is prevalent everywhere and should it be accepted as part and parcel of everyday life? Doesn’t nepotism exist in every possible field? But nobody addresses that. Nepotism...it's real, it happens, and at one point or another, most working folks have to deal with it.

Issues create by nepotism in workplaces.

Let talk about some psychological issues that causes by nepotism in workplace.  Nepotism makes people feel demotivated, lacking in confidence and alienated at workplace. It also hinders competition and innovation.

The ethics of nepotism in business have a lot to do with the business structure. A family business, often established as a sole proprietorship, partnership or S corporation, typically means you own and control the operation by yourself or with family members who are partners. If you partner with nonfamily members or formalize a corporation with shareholders, the business takes on a formal standing that is distinct from your involvement. In these cases, nepotism is more questionable because other parties have an ownership stake or vested interest in the operation. 

How to avoid nepotism in the workplaces? How do you combat nepotism?

In many cases, this question does not make senses. After a lot of deliberations of thoughts I realize there are some ways to comport in workplace to combat nepotism such as: a)Staying always in  professional manners; B)Making sure of documenting all your great work at the company; C)Be mindful of who to talk it out with a carefully by choosing selected individual in the company; d)Focus on what you can do for your health and happiness right now. Moreover, very important to keep in mind your job is make your company win, and deliver results. 

Is nepotism seriously hobbling you in your career at the firm?  

Don't stay where your opportunities are artificially limited. You aren't forced to stay with your employer. Know your value, show it, and don't be afraid to walk if your options are limited. Be honest, if you leave, about why you're leaving.

Sometimes, it's very likely that both HR and that decision-maker's manager are aware that there was a personal relationship involved in that decision. If you really think this was an under-the-radar scenario, please give HR a call. That won't necessarily result in any change that you would be aware of, but it's now "on the radar".

Although the HR staff is certainly very interested in getting the very best outcome, advise strongly against foolishness, and will do what we can to ensure that the best strategic path is identified and pursued, we're not there to make strategic ops decisions - if that hiring/selection decision was approved by senior management within the business unit, they own it. There's a wide band of acceptable decisions, and as long as it falls within reasonable limits, it's not our role to intervene (though we may shake our heads and roll our eyes in private).
