2. Standard
[story]
There was a young monk who was in charge of striking the bell. After half a year, he felt extremely bored. One day, the host announced that he would be transferred to the backyard to chop wood and fetch water, because he was not qualified to strike a bell. The little monk asked in dissatisfaction, "Isn't the bell I struck on time and not loud?" The old host told him patiently, "Although the bell you struck was on time and loud, the sound of the bell was empty, weak, and uninspiring. The sound of the bell is to awaken the obsessed beings, so the sound of the bell should not only be loud, but also round, thick, deep and distant."

The host in this story made a common-sense management error. "Being a monk hits the clock for a day" because the host did not announce the work standards in advance. If the young monk understood the standard and importance of striking the bell on the day he entered the monastery, I don't think he would be dismissed for sabotage. The work standard is the behavior guideline and evaluation basis for employees. Lack of work standards often leads to the inconsistency of employees' efforts and the company's overall development direction, resulting in a lot of waste of human and material resources. Because of the lack of reference, employees are prone to complacency over time, leading to slack at work. The formulation of work standards should be digitalized as much as possible, linked with assessment, and attention should be paid to operability.
