Overall, I think filling the safety complaints was a great choice and that he did the right thing in doing that. The company violated OSHA and didn't take the complaints seriously. They also violated the employee by not acting on a serious issue. The courts verdict would reflect my job in this case because I would feel as If I didn't protect the employee and that I could of prevented the lawsuit. If I were a human resource manager, I would be ashamed and I would feel like I didn't do my job, and that I just ignored a safety issue that was serious.
If their expectations were not met then Greg Allen Construction Corp. could be held accountable. However, in order for Daniel and Sondra to obtain credit there were required inspections throughout the project. If throughout the process much of Allen’s work was unacceptable then the Estelle’s did what they were supposed to be. If the work was completed and no complaints were made during the inspections until after the work was completed then Allen’s corporation wouldn’t be held liable. That would be due to that the fact that the inspections were to have been assumed to be passed during the work.
In this case scenario there is clearly a difference in opinion, while the boss of the company believes he is giving Beauport (his employee) greater opportunities in the company and a chance to succeed in her career by changing her position to marketing research coordinator; Beauport is convinced that she is being sidelined into a “backroom” job, since she is aware of the stereotyping that goes on with women in this industry. Beauport is highly disappointed with the outcome of her hard work, and feels like she is being demoted rather than promoted. The boss knowing he had this position two years prior to becoming boss is both excited and pleased to inform his employee of his wise decision, and is sure his employee would be thankful for the great opportunity. The second symptom present in this scenario is a misinterpretation of body language by Mr. Gilman (the boss) towards Beauport’s reaction to the aforementioned position. When informed about the change in position, Beauport was shocked and so responded with a long pause and a quiet thank you as she left the office.
Unquestionably, the decision to change the schedule of production staff was made by managers and directors with no direct knowledge of, and perhaps without consideration of, any employee’s religious affiliation or needs. Based on Walker Toy Company’s policies and procedures to comply with EEOC guidelines, a reasonable person may also agree that management felt this was not an important consideration, as they could have easily made accommodations in line with Title VII if Mrs. Miller had made her needs known. The reasonable person test is pervasive in case law as a factor in determining whether the employee’s resignation was reasonable. The case of Barrow v. New Orleans Steamship Ass’n (1994), established that certain factors are significant in determining constructive discharge: “(1) demotion; (2) reduction in salary; (3) reduction in job responsibilities; (4) reassignment to menial or degrading work; (5) reassignment to work under a younger supervisor; (6) badgering, harassment, or humiliation by the employer calculated to encourage the employee's resignation; or (7) offers of early retirement on terms that would make the employee worse off, whether accepted or not." This case supports my recommendation to litigate because Mrs. Miller was not subjected to any of these tactics, nor does she make any claims that any of these tactics were used toward her.
People in such organizations operate in a “win-lose” framework and believe they must work against (rather than with) their peers to be noticed. An overly competitive culture can inhibit effectiveness by reducing cooperation and promoting unrealistic standards of performance (either too high or too low). I never had to compete with another engineer but sometimes you have to call on a senior engineer for help. You never want that person to out shine you in front of your customer. So you hope your problem isn’t so big that he has to come on
Melissa Day HRM 587 Professor Stone Week 2 Images of Change November 8, 2013 Change frequently occurs in a company. That change can manifest itself in a change in leadership-like a new CEO, downsizing due to structural reordering, or acquiring new companies to improve business output and diversifying ones product line. From an employee (and for some members of management) standpoint change can cause fear and stress, because change shakes people from where they were comfortable and it asks them to do something different, something they may be uncomfortable with-however, the only constant in life (both personal and professional) is change. For my project, I have selected two companies that have undergone changes throughout the past year:
• If you allow your own preferences to dominate your work with people, you fail to perform to the standards set by the UK regulating bodies, they require workers to respect and promote people’s individual views and wishes. • To make the right response when there is a clash between your views and those of the people you are working for, you have to identify and understand your own views and values. • Lots of people are better suited to working for themselves which isn’t always about an inability to follow orders; it can be for many reasons exclusive per company/boss. • Own Values: you may be working shifts you don’t like, and not be able to do anything about it, events like these will lead to disagreements with how your boss sees’s things and how work is
If properly executed with an actual resister, pulling this lever can positively influence adoption of the initiative by the resister and his or her friends. We highly believe not to do this decision because we tried two times in the first round and received the unsatisfied result that the person confronted as a resister was upset and unconvinced by our discussion. Moreover, we have lost credibility and now some employees are less enthusiastic about the change initiative. Hence we deem that the person who has strict different thought with us is hard to confront, therefore, we did not take this decision in the second
Motivational Program Proposal PSY 201 June 25, 2013 Facilitator: Jennifer Amond Motivational Program Proposal As an owner of a manufacturing company I noted that the attitude of my employees were not as I expected after taking a climate survey. I noted that the moral of my employee were at an all-time low; I resolved that something had to be done if I wanted productivity level to increase in my department. My people needed a moral boost, and I had to do something fast; the life my company is depending on it. Therefore, I developed a motivation plan to restore the moral of my employees. My motivational proposal plan will be based on intrinsic motivation.
But Kozol makes some big important points why being illiterate can hurt the person in all parts of life. Kozol states that, “They cannot read traffic signs and, while they often learn to recognize and decipher symbols, they cannot manage street names which they haven't seen before” (Kozol, 4), this is like being trapped inside your own world. If someone cannot read something simple as a stop sign they just have no life to be living. What good are they to the society if a person cannot read? Everything these days counts on mostly technology, being able to understand and read technology is a huge part of today’s society.
