In my country, "although I believe it applies to many others", for several years, a process of continuous closure of companies of all categories and of all sizes has been happening, in an accentuated manner; that is, companies that have been closing their doors. The main cause of the closure rests basically on reasons or governmental political actions, which have been drowning the business sector gradually. However, although the above is extremely important to analyze, the objective of this post is not to analyze the political issue; but rather analyze the failure or closure of the companies from the point of view of the behavior of the worker, of the human resource that works in it; and this we propose in this way, because we consider that there is a large share of responsibility for workers in this serious situation.

Therefore, in order to continue analyzing this problem and supported in a kind of illustrated micro-story technique, the following is the Post # 5 related to this topic, which refers to "TOURISTS OF THE PROCESS"

Let's take a selfie here next to the production line to show it to our friends.

First define the word Process: a process is a sequence of steps arranged with some kind of logic that focuses on achieving some specific result. Processes are mechanisms designed by men to improve the productivity of something, to establish order or eliminate some type of problem. The concept can be used in a wide variety of contexts, for example in the legal field, in the computer field or in the business. Of course, in our case we are going to refer to the labor context. https://definicion.mx/proceso/

This is a production process.

Now the word Tourist, refers to the person who moves from one place to another in order to walk, know, rest .... https://www.definicionabc.com/general/turista.php

Our tourist of the process does not dress exactly like that; but, it has a lot of characteristics and behaviors very similar to that of our friend in the image.

So if we combine the two words, we could say that a tourist of the process is: a person who leaves his office or workplace, moves through a production process (for example), and there he can criticize, relax, to walk, in some cases to know something of the process, to be distracted, to obstruct the work of the others, to take selfies, to take photos of the process, to find out where to have a coffee, to take information to bring it as gossip to a superior, etc. and that in the long run does not provide any added value to the production process. Yes, a whole TOURIST OF THE PROCESS.

"Aha! Tourists of the process arrived to the line of production. The only thing they do is bother us "

It should be noted that the tourist of process is not a direct labor of the process, it is rather an indirect labor that does not participate directly in the production process; but, if they have their tasks defined within the organizational structure of the company, such as, for example, providing engineering, maintenance, and planning services to the productive area.

It seems that they do not do harm to the company; but, it is not like that, since, its reports from the scene that send most of the time it is loaded with misrepresentation, malice and even hatred and envy towards some people, and only look for generating discomfort and bad decisions on the part of the high management . Then, maybe, where there was not a problem, well, they just created it. This type of situation generates discomfort in some co-workers, who in the end end up giving up or are actually dismissed.

Let's review below some of the typical situations that revolve around the tourist of process and that affect plant productivity:

- Dangerous distraction:

Many times the tourists of the process, do not realize that they themselves are at risk and continue taking pictures and distracting the workers. Pardon me, of course it is not an image related to a production process; but, with it I just want to try to explain the point

• High pressure or stress and discomfort to the worker, who stops concentrating on his work.
  
  "My God Tourists grabbed a victim, now they will destroy it through the social networks of the company and of course the boss will know "... Likewise, it is not an image of the productive process, I only used it as a support to try to explain what It can happen in the workplace.

"Yuck! The graphic reporters have just arrived to destroy us. "... They distract the workers from the tasks they are executing, generating up to risk conditions for themselves and the worker ... They disrupt the workers, causing a work environment heavy. Some workers simply pose for the photo.

- Harmful gossip

"Look at that worker! Take a photo and we'll send it to the boss. "
Source

There are tourists of the process who are consecrated stars and broadcast live to internal social networks and of course to their boss.
Source

Many times, that worker fired by gossip and intrigue, was key to the operation of production. Thank you Tourists of the Process!
Source

Or simply the worker is forced to resign:

"I quit! Because surrounded by that bunch of tourists of the process, I can not work. "
Source

And the afternoon arrives ... and the night comes ... and the tourists disappeared from the process ... no, they do not leave late from work… The real problems are solved by the real workers, not by the virtual ones.

"So many tourists of the process that were early and now I do not see anyone who can help us ... Sure! It's four in the afternoon, and they left ... What luck they have!"
Source

"Where will the tourists be of the process to see if they help? ... the key operator was fired yesterday because of them and the product is now producing with quality problems.”
Source

The consequences of this type of behavior and actions?

- Delay in production.

"The production line was stopped, the key workers were forced to resign. Well, nothing will be dispatched "
Source

- Work Accidents due to distraction.

There you have it, a work accident due to the distraction produced by a tourist of the process. Sometimes, the real cause of the problem is not indicated by the worker; therefore, the tourist of the process continues with his routine.
Source

- Reduction in sales and billing...

Blah Blah Blah Blah ... Hey, lady! Sales are going down because you have fired the key people for believing everything the tourists say about the process.
Source

Final consequence:

…the road to closing the company continues…

…Until the next post,
