What problems do you foresee that Valve may encounter as it grows beyond staff numbers of 300? Whilst flexibility for staff to choose who they will work with and for how long encourages staff to stay motivated -I believe this will cause concerns for Valve as the company grows. By staff not maintaining their commitment to projects they sign on to – this can lead to a loss in productivity in having to replace team members that have moved on to other projects or unhappy employees that will need to cover the remaining work not finalized by that staff member.

The question that must be asked is why are people absent so often. Talking to each member of the crew with a high rate of absenteeism is a good place to start. Once the problem is understood a solution can be found. For some of the workers it is difficult to come to work so early in the morning. They cannot wake up, or they are unable to get a ride at so early an hour.
Their backlog of policy requests (WIPs) for said week is 82 and the number of new policies and endorsements do not seem to be generating as much revenue as in the past. As pricing and commission differences among insurance firms have narrowed, agents have increasingly made referrals based on customer service (i.e. quick TAT). Fruitvale’s backlog and TAT indicate the presence of a bottleneck which is resulting in idle time for some employees while overburdening others. Moreover, they are losing renewal business to competitors while trying to keep their employees, especially the senior underwriters with many years of experience, from going to Golden Gate.

An indicator of underperformance is when there is a shortage of team members due to sickness, holidays or recruitment problems. This puts great pressure on the rest of the team, as a position is left empty, creating more work for the team on top of their own duties. This would lead to possible poor productivity. Indicators of this could be poor timekeeping and the team not meeting organisational targets. To rectify underperformance problems, pre service briefs and proper training sessions should be carried out to all team members.

The end result is that we complete projects poorly than if we focused and kept fully concentrated on our work performing them well. People tend to think by multitasking, it is being productive; while this is not as truthful as we might think. When we do this, our quality of work weakens; we become stressed, overwhelmed, and if this continues, then depression can happen.
Some employers won’t hire women because they know that women will leave to have children in the life and take time of work to do so, while still costing the company money. This sometimes determines employers to have shorter contracts with women and not to pay them as much because they will not have to pay them as much during their maternity leave. This is why some employers won’t employ women workers. Women, until recently did not receive the same levels of education. This meant that they had a lower MRP than their male counterparts.
Mainly affecting my generation, jobs that should be given to college graduates are not even open yet because senior employees are staying in companies when normally they would have retired. Social Security also poses an issues because younger generations are paying into the “baby boomers” social security.

This is causing drastic changes in the world affecting all ages and all kinds of people. Unfortunately this issue really cant be addressed and the world will just have to adapt to the fact that people are living longer lives.
Individuals practice one on one discrimination in an everyday setting, where as businesses practice it in the job place. By preventing certain people from getting promotions and only hiring certain people for the hard bust your butt jobs. And certain people for the office jobs. So when people of an ethnic minority do in fact get the higher-up jobs, most of the time they get stuck in that position with no chance of advancement. For example some jobs often require many years of experience that some people are no able to get; many jobs automatically say no if you have a prior drug offence or felony as well.
