Last week amidst the Super Bowl frenzy, I discovered a new reality show. Although I had only caught the concluding part of the program, I liked what I saw. It is refreshing to see this real-life situation production does not require judges.
After looking it up in Wikipedia, I learned Undercover Boss has already been in the hearts and minds of millions of television viewers for two years. CBS has aired the show since 2010 with raving success. It was the most popular television program in the year it was premiered. Undercover Boss is also a spin-off from a British show with the same name.
This reality production is about company’s CEO’s go undercover at their own company as an entry-level employee. This week-long covet operation gives company executives opportunities to see if the company is operating on the right track from the grass-root level. At the end of the show when the true identity of the imposter is uncovered, the unsuspected accomplices, their employees, get praised for the unscripted roles they have played. And all of them are also awarded with tangible and some life-changing prizes.
But the good story does not end here. The CEO’s who participated in the snoop are expected to follow through on what they may have detected during the week-long mission and to take proper corrective actions. So their company can become a better employer, that, over the time, translates into brighter prospect for both the workers and their undercover bosses. - Ayee
