Communication Theory Barbara J. Walker HCS/320 7/18/2011 Kristin Thrun INTRODUCTION When working in teams sometimes it can be hard especially when you have one person that doesn’t want to cooperate. It also can be a lot of fun when you get the right kind of people. You may find some people that want to take charge and do all the work instead of working with a team. Then you have the ones that are laid back and don’t care as long as they are working. I enjoy working with a team because you get to meet new people while you are working and it makes the time go by fast.
Human Resources are a major aspect to every business. Management's presentation in human resources will say whether or not a business will be flourishing in the long run by recruiting with the right people for the right positions. A lot of businesses and their managers undergo the pressure to be completely staffed and take on people without actually evaluating their potential for quality effort as well as being a good fit for the atmosphere the managers desire the workplace to have. ACC has experienced employment issues in recent times since they are devoted to maintaining a definite standard of quality when offering a spot to a new member of staff and are reluctant to just settling for the regular. Managers at ACC have to cautiously examine their respective workers and decide if they require the need for extra people and if they do the managers have to estimate the different personalities they manage and what type of personality would fill the open spot effectively.
Chapter 13 - “Analyzing Managerial Decisions: Bagby Copy Company MBA 540 Michelle Wilson August 9, 2015 There are many advantages and disadvantages to specific vs. broad task assignment. Assigning specific tasks to workers allows the company to hire specifically based on the ability of the worker to do a very specific job. In this way efficiency can be increased as a worker should be performing the job that he is comparatively best suited to perform and nothing else. Competition amongst workers can also be increased as there is a specific metric to judge by. The cost of training a worker is also reduced as the worker does not have to be trained in every aspect of the company only what he is going to be doing.
Spending money on training of these devices are also factors that must be considered this takes employees time and cost the company man hours and thus money that could be spent on other things. Lowes must continue to analyze the cost to decide whether these improvements are needed and continue to produce more of a profit with or without them. In the highly competitive market that Lowe’s is in strategic planning has helped them not only stay in business, but also maintain a competitive edge over the competition. Their initiative on energy conservation and concentrating on energy efficient products and materials has made good fiscal policy for the organization. This combination of cost savings and green policy provides Lowe’s with a low risk and positive image in today’s global
Customers much prefer talking to a human rather than a machine. Good customer service includes Friendly staff Ensure employees who are hired to deal with customers on a daily basis especially at first point-of-contact or in reception areas have a friendly, positive and helpful personality. Employees should have a good knowledge of the business. They should be familiar with Tesco’s products. Engaging employees who already have customer service credentials is an advantage as it indicates they already have the skills and a commitment to customer service.
Even though many of the employees are able to start employment with little training, this has led to the differences in human resource practices among regional managers which counter Tanglewood’s original philosophy. • Hire Yourself or Outsource Tanglewood should ultimately focus on “hiring yourself” for their human resource functions of hiring activities such as recruiting, selecting, and employment. At the rate in which Tanglewood is growing, it will ultimately be cheaper in the long term as Tanglewood becomes a large organization. By hiring yourself, Tanglewood will also be able to build on the centralized corporate/company culture in which they are looking for. By hiring yourself the company would be more familiar with current and past experiences the company has faced with different staffing situations and they would be able to improve on any mistakes they may have had.
Like any employer from for profit organizations, nonprofit organizations also require candidates with skills and ability to do the job well. However, they also look for candidates who are really interested in their organization in terms of the issue they are working on. Nonprofit organization often needs employee who is really care about what they are doing and expects their employees to put in extra hours, working during weekends, or make do with limited resources [ (Green 2010) ]. On the other hand, if the new employee does have passion for the issue of the nonprofit organization but he/she is lack of the skills to do the job well, he/she would probably expect a pay
It is important to remember that a loyal customer can be just as valuable than new one. This is because you do not have to spend as much time and money marketing to them because they already know what you offer them. And it goes beyond just having customers that are satisfied, you need to have customers that are loyal. Loyal customers tend to buy more and more importantly they talk more which means a whole load of free word of mouth advertising for your business or company. Therefore building a highly loyal customer base should be the foundation of your basic business strategy.
This includes acquiring and training brand new staff, locating unused facilities, installing phone and computer terminals, and building required links to the company’s computer system. The customer service function is not considered by employees to be a critical job function so companies routinely hire sub-par employees which lead to problems with constantly recruiting new employees and train them. A company can avoid this issue by giving the task to a supplier. The optimal suppliers have good recruiting skills to select right kinds of people, pay and benefit levels calculated to retain their existing staffs, and ongoing training programs designed to maintain the quality of their staffs. An important reason for using a customer service supplier is that the company is dealing directly with the customer through this function and must present the best possible face to the customer.
You have the large markets (New York, Paris, and Los Angeles) that are more model-saturated than the commercial markets (Target, Payless, and Amazon). In large markets it’s harder to get booked because they use the same models. The try to stay with the people they like because they already know what they can do and what they want. Modeling is a freelance job. It’s hard to work in this industry because it’s not just handed to you.
