However, there are people who are feared it will not be good and has an opposite impact for all concerned. It looks like a win-to-win scenario; it creates a good amount of jobs needed and reduces tariffs that benefit all members involved, but some are concerned about the agreement will benefit some specific groups and some will not. The problem is while the cost of labors in the US is expensive the labor’s cost of neighbor countries is cheaper; this leads to the jobs loss for the American people and workers. For example, Columbia is still one of the most dangerous places on Earth because of the government and its persecutions for those who against it; just like Chinese government. Next, the working condition for Columbian workers is poor and that concerns of some the human right group.
Even though the effects of the financial crisis were negative, and caused many people to lose their jobs, CEOs are still receiving a large salary, which portrays a negative image on their company. This essay explains the effects of businesses responsibility to the environment, that profits are not the only measure that should be applied to corporate success and CEO’s salaries applied to businesses responsibilities. There has been a great deal of controversy in the media over whether businesses have a social responsibility. Businesses already have a responsibility to follow ethical standards and the law. However recent media coverage has demanded that large business should also have a social responsibility.
I feel that society is steering away from operating purely to make a profit. In my mind, the shareholder model is a selfish model that only looks at what is best for the elite at the top of the ownership ladder. A corporation has to look at the stakeholders. Stakeholders have more influence on decisions today that ever before. If all decisions are based solely on keeping the shareholders happy, a company may not always be profitable or ethical.
Unmotivated employees John Goode October 14, 2011 N/A Unmotivated employees Over the years large businesses and corporations have had to deal with the increase of unmotivated employees versus motivated employees. Can all the blame be placed on employees alone, or is it the management as well? Throughout this essay there will be three factors discussed on why unmotivated employees become unmotivated to do their jobs. Employees would say, that one of the most common issues that cause them to have a lack of motivation for the job is the aspect of feedback or the lack of positive feedback. In every line of work employees want to know how they are performing their job well or not.
Those employers work overtime but did not get the pay that they deserve. Instead, employers who came late to work will not be tolerated. This has caused many employers to get stressed out, leading to suicide attempts. The reason may be because the labor costs in foreign countries are cheap compared to United States. However, I think it is wrong to take advantage of those employers’ lives by not providing those employers fairly.
If the company ceases to manufacture some products required by those big customers in order to decrease the inventory and cut off the cost, the company may lose contract with those important customers. Another problem confronting the company is that some medium and small-sized customers complained that there are insufficient products to be shipped. So, the dilemma comes out. The company has big inventory stored, meanwhile some customers always complains about the lack of products. One major reason is that the company always keeps the not-updated information and thus the improper inventory.
So why would employers be reluctant to strive for this type of environment? Part of the challenge is that when employers think about managing employee workloads or allowing employees to have good work-life balance, they worry about decreases in productivity. But this is a very short-sighted view. Employees that are overworked, stressed, anxious, and develop mental health problems as a result cannot sustain their productivity over the long-term. Unhealthy workplaces lead to unhealthy workers.
In industries where jobs have been harmed (which are mainly manufacturing industries), the mechanism behind government involvement has been mainly union pressures. Unions are there to advocate for workers rights and benefits and they have found themselves at a disadvantaged position due to globalization, as many of their workers lose jobs. As well, unions feel as though they can no longer advocate for better treatment to their employers because their employers can then simply chose to move their jobs overseas, where there are no employee rights. As a result, groups like the American Auto Workers’ Association have been outspoken about their vehement opposition to trade liberalization policies. (source, quote).
A second, and much more overlooked atrocity committed by human traffickers is fraud. many factory owners are currently advertising for jobs that sound “too good to be true” with free room and board, as well as paid travel expenses. However, once the workers arrive, they are heavily fined, and given no food or housing. The workers, in turn have no choice but to work in unfair conditions for extended periods of time until they can repay their employer the large debt they have acquired(Mark P. Lagon). A third way in which this [human trafficking] violates the law is through violence.
Should a company with a culture of negativity towards these people change its attitude? People who would strike down the idea of hiring people with disabilities cite reasons such as the high cost of training these people as opposed to people with normal functions. The result of low performance is another downside. These employees rarely have much tenure and the turnover for their position is fairly high. People with disabilities, in short, are a blight to any company and the organization would be making an ill-advised move to employ such people.
