Numerous benefits to employment guarantees have been
found, many of which should have a positive impact on strategy
implementation. Most of these benefits are simply the obverse
of how employees act when they are insecure about their jobs.
Several benefits result when a work scarcity mentality is
avoided. These include volunteering ideas for labor savings,
working at an optimal pace, foregoing restrictive work
practices, and performing tasks beyond the job description.
Other benefits appear to be related to increased receptivity of
employees to changes. These include accepting management-
initiated changes, working overtime even when inconvenient,
volunteering for job-broadening training, deployment flexibility,
and increased loyalty. Additional benefits include increased
retention, morale-related productivity gains, elimination of
bumping costs, elimination of the need for early-retirement
incentives, and reduced hiring and training costs during postre-
cessionary periods.^88
