The inability to look past the right choice to the most beneficial one, the obligation to right versus wrong, and the idea of equality in the workplace may result in problems in the workplace for a person who holds these values within the obligation category. With this said, it is certainly valuable to know the individual ethical style and perspective held when entering a business atmosphere. This would allow for easier transition of ethical dilemmas into issues that can be accepted by everyone involved. This, in turn, would provide a better atmosphere for the company, the employees, and ultimately the
It is also clear that employees are having difficulty with knowing what and when professional development activities are offered or required. The necessity for employees to be active in professional development, drives the necessity for this project. Allowing easier access to this information in a centralized location and allowing employees to interact, add events to their schedules, and receive alerts of events would solve this issue and would further allow for professional development to be in tune with our company's mission to have the greatest employees in the industry. The need, also, to allow employees to document information gained from professional development events is evident. This would, in a sense, produce a central knowledgebase for other employees to benefit from.
Active or Passive Diversity: I would say that Tanglewood should look into active diversity because it meets the diverse needs of the customers. Diversity is a huge part of the company’s hiring process and they don’t want to be labeled as hiring only one class of people.

Cox and Beale (1997) suggest that diversity competency is “a process of learning that leads to an ability to effectively respond to the challenges and opportunities posed by the presence of social-cultural diversity in a defined social system” (p. 2). Chemers and Murphy (1995) contend that leaders of diverse work groups need to be sensitive to differences when they exist and find ways to reduce the negative impact of stereotypes. Furthermore, they argue that effective
A lack of recognition for good work can dramatically reduce motivation as staff feel undervalued and unappreciated, a person may work hard for an employer who does not appreciate them. Praise and recognition provides the incentive to work hard and achieve goals. Other incentives in a workplace can include the chance to learn and gain qualifications, promotions, and often increased salaries. However, it would be foolish to believe that money is always the
It is important not to speak out of angry emotions, and again sometimes it is best to tell an employee that one may need to think on the matter first before responding. While it may not seem like a "big deal" it is important to make sure that the words that are used when speaking to employees are simple and clear. Some employees may not understand the use of large words, and therefore the message that the manager / supervisor is trying to convey may be lost. Good grammar is also a must for every type communication. Use of slang terms is not a wise idea, as what is acceptable in generation / culture could be offensive to the next.. We must make sure we are saying exactly what we mean to and clearly enough that so that others are going to hear exactly what the manager / supervisor is trying to say.
Agreeing to the terms and not going for a hostile take over will also allow Nestle to maintain positive relations with the Rowntree management and the government. This will help a smoother integration of business once a takeover of business is completed. Integrating the new business will be a challenge for Nestle. Nestle will have to restructure some of its operations and how the organization is structured. It is a costly and time-consuming process.
Multicultural Counseling Coretta Casley Webster University Multicultural Counseling The growing divergences as well as collaboration between peoples of different cultures, race and ethnicities, and the varying needs of such people based upon their cultural tendencies makes it important for counselors to gain an understanding and show respect towards people from different racial, ethnic, gender and sexual orientation. Cultural diversity is a phenomenon that has become an important element of human development and one of the defining features of life in the 21st century is the belief that as people interact across boundaries and borders become more fluid, an acknowledgement of the uniqueness of cultures will be an important part of all fields of life. Multicultural counseling or the idea of cultural diversity and its importance to the field of counseling can be understood from the fact that it is being considered as a fourth force of the counseling theory. Traditionally, the realm of counseling has encompassed “psychodynamic, humanistic/existential and behavioral counseling theories and methods" (LeBeauf, Smaby, Maddux, 2009, p. 34)) and in keeping with human development, multicultural counseling is increasingly being seen as an integral part of the counseling process. As an approach towards counseling, it is especially effective because it calls upon the counselor to understand the client and his or her problems based upon cultural beliefs.
In the increasingly global workplace, multicultural teams offer innovative thinking, unique collaborations and diverse perspectives on common challenges. The most effective leaders are those who can leverage team members’ unique skills and perspectives while addressing the conflicts that may arise as a result of those differences. Although multiculturalism does present challenges, it also has the potential to create a sustainable advantage in the form of rapid innovation, adaptability and efficiency (Karjalainen & Soparnot, 2012). To achieve this, a leader must consider key cultural differences and how each one can impact relationships and performance (See Figure 1). Fig.
Moreover, the subordinates become productive and effective because of a succeed leadership. It is possible to say that a good leader can turn a weak business, for example, into a good one.
