Are organizations taking care of their records Management staff?

This is a question that has been asked by several employees especially in developing countries. despite the fact that Records management plays a crucial role in management and decision making of any Organization, the RM section and staff are not given due respect they deserve. Records management staff in most occassions lack adequate working tools, enough budget, are treated as if they are inferior to other members of staff and are often overlooked when it comes to trainings and other motivational issues that affect the organizations' staff.
it is heartbreaking as a records management staff to see other members of staff enjoying better terms and benefits than you and yet you work for the same organization.
As a leader in Records Management Unit, i feel extremely bad when your colleagues want you to intervene in matters relating to work and work environment yet you are unable to due to complexities and red tapes in management structures of organizations.
this is an issue which Records Managers and the organization's leadership need to address in order for the Records Management profession to be a profession of choice for many aspiring people.
