In my opinion, many of the negatives can be easily improved and they are seen as negatives now just becuase several Human resources, Management tools have not been developed yet, but they will soon. In some occassions are just part of the naturally human fear about new things.
People-oriented managers wil be able to develop the necessary tools to cover those lacks related to personal and professional enrichment of workers, work safety, sense of belonging...
Self proactive, well committed workers will be first to be selected.
