The employees in Avondale Industries' sites were extremely anxious about the status of their jobs because of a recent downturn in the airline industry. The company reassured everyone that they did not intend to lay anyone off because the company had diversified their portfolio when they had expanded into the unmanned vehicles and systems industry as well when they acquired an adhesives and sealants company two years ago. In addition, the company had excellent government contracts that were scheduled to last for ten years. Avondale's CEO sent a company-wide letter to all employees reassuring them that the company was not planning to dismiss any employees. Why is it of benefit to the company to help its employees feel secure in their jobs?

• Employees who are worried about losing their jobs tend to be more anxious, more prone to confrontation, and more apt to blow problems out of proportion.
• Job security is important so that employees stop worrying about what might happen to them and their dependents if they lose their job.
• Employees who feel secure in their jobs are often less stressed, more productive, and more loyal to the company.
• Feeling secure in a position allows an employee to focus on what is important in life, both at home and at work.
