Also if they are able to become more independent, they are more likely to become more confident, which means they may be able to do more things for themselves, therefore making them more independent, which therefore benefits the individual as they are in a positive atmosphere. Another reason why living at home can benefit an individual is that they may have more time spent with loved ones and are more likely to get visits from friends and family. This is important as it keeps that sense of ‘normality’. If the individual was in a care/residential home, they may not get as many visitors as the family/friends may feel uncomfortable in that environment or the family/ friends may be busy during the visiting hours. Another factor is that the individual is able to maintain a little more control over daily routine, which is important as this leaves the individual feeling cared for and listened to.
In the case study involving the purchasing and operation issues of Dryden Inks, the purchasing agent, Jane Waterman worked an excessive amount of overtime during her time at the company. Dryden Inks started as a family business and grew along with their competition, which had become much stronger and then developed a pressure regarding their prices. Jane noticed that older methods were being used that didn’t match the demands of their products and most of the company’s orders were on a “rush basis”. She wanted to contribute to the company in a way that would make their day-to-day operations become more productive and efficient. Certain problems in this case are having an outdated and no comprehensive inventory that causes their control system to reflect improper supply amounts.

In-fact, there is a study conducted in Ireland (Wilkinson et al; 2004) which suggests that employee voice is more extensive and its impact is huge compared to decade ago. Employee voice has been challenged normally through the representation and recognition of unions due to a considerable gap between the actual and desired level of employee representation, it is argued that this gap has been narrowed with the growth in non-union and direct forms of employee representation (Pyman, Cooper, Teicher and Holland,2006). Unions are the key mechanisms for improving workers productivity, reducing economic imbalance and stabilizing the work force (Freeman and Medoff,1984).

The first indicator identified by the author was being easily annoyed (Garfinkle, 2005-2015); researchers support this indicator; cynicism and detachment were identified as one of the symptoms of burnout (Beheshtifar & Omidvar, 2013). Cynicism and depersonalization are directed at both persons receiving service and co-workers and it generally affects the employee's personal life as well (Embriaco,

Age is not the only diversity within the workplace, but now cultural differences such as race, religion and personal beliefs also play a bigger part.
The better software companies have built in flexibility for assigning people to projects. As project priority systems and project offices become more popular in project driven organizations, scheduling systems which link projects to priority and people assignments are showing up in multiproject environments.
