A tight labor market is happening as we know it, which results in a few things - COVID- 19 and the changing demographics of the United States. COVID-19 may no longer be considered
a pandemic, but the disease likely reduced the availability of the US workforce by as much as 2.6
percent in 2022 (
COVID-19 Workforce Impacts in the US | McKinsey
, n.d.). 315 million to 1.05 billion workers days were lost to COVID-19 last year, equivalent to 1.3 million to 4.3 million workers dropping out of the workforce for the full year (
COVID-19 Workforce Impacts in the US
| McKinsey
, n.d.). That is about double the average number of sick days taken by US workers in the decade before the pandemic (
COVID-19 Workforce Impacts in the US | McKinsey
, n.d.). This
explanation could help explain the persistent US worker shortage (
COVID-19 Workforce Impacts in the US | McKinsey
, n.d.). COVID -19 affected workforce productivity as well, missed
work due to acute illness and productivity loss due to long COVID, isolation based on protocol and loss while caring for a dependent family member during that time. The changing demographics of the United States is having a profound effect on the labor supply in the nation, the population is again, with baby boomers reaching their retirement age and those ages 65 and over are expected to outnumber those ages 18 and under by 2034 (
Labor Supply: Inside the Tight
Labor Market
, n.d.). As older individuals increase, the fraction of people who are willing and/or able to work is likely to decrease. Since we are living in a tight job market time, that means recruiting an employee is super important from the start. Finding and recruiting the right talent is critical to a firm’s performance,
great recruiting can also increase a company’s value, an excellent recruiting function can increase a firm’s total market value (Phillips, 2021). We live in a time now that technology makes it easier than ever to announce a job posting to a broad audience, really connect with a candidate and drive excitement about a role and the company to them (Indeed, 2019). I think the
best way to recruit is just being 100% transparent with the candidates, give all the information that they would like to know about a position, so no time is wasted. Social media isn’t just used for connecting with friends and family anymore, it can start a conversation about job positing within your workplace. Even if it reaches people who aren’t interested, it’s likely they may know
someone who is a good fit (Indeed, 2019). Implementing an employee referral program within the workplace can be a positive motivation as well, people usually make a habit of surrounding themselves with oth highly capable professionals, so offering this program employees within the company already may share open roles with qualified contacts in their networks (Indeed, 2019).
Once applicants have been recruited and formally applied for a job, the selection process gathers and evaluates the information that will be used to determine who will be hired (Phillips, 2021). The applicants must fit the job and organization, workgroup and job t be most successful (Phillips, 2021). When one fits the job, it leads to higher job performance and satisfaction as well
as higher organizational commitment and intent to stay with the company (Phillips, 2021). Selecting a employee should be managed ethically, including how assessment results will be used and how applicant’s privacy will be protected (Phillips, 2021). Assessment administration needs to be done properly trained and appropriately qualified people, and confidentially should be protected at all times, even rejected candidates should also be destroyed after an appropriate time (Phillips, 2021). Legally, hiring process must compare all applicants using the same fair, consistent and objective information predictive of job success. Applicant reactions also have significant implications for the optimal design and implementation of selection test (Phillips, 2021). Their reactions influence their performance on selection tests, and their ultimate job

VOLKSWAGEN: THE SCANDAL
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that many VW cars being sold in America had a "defeat device" - or software - in diesel engines that could detect when they were being tested, changing the performance accordingly to improve and falsify results.
The German car giant has since admitted to cheating emissions tests in the US. The result of this cheating is that engines emitted nitrogen oxide pollutants up to 40 times above what is allowed in the US. Martin Winterkorn, the VW Chief Executive at the time, produced a video where he said that he was “endlessly sorry” and that the misconduct was a result of “the grave errors of very few” employees.
1. How did VW jeopardize both their internal business ethics and culture and external business ethics to consumers?
2. What responsibility does VW owe to their employees who were not part of the scandal?
3. Did the employees involved in the scandal violate their loyalty to the company?

ébé en Santé is a French company that makes premium, luxuriously packaged baby formula for the wealthy European market. During a trip South Africa, the CEO, in an attack of conscience, realized that her company could help to improve the nutrition of infants in developing countries, where the malnutrition rates are between 20 -30%.
More pointedly, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that undernutrition is linked to 2.7 million child deaths annually, or 45% of all child deaths.
The WHO Infant and young child feeding is a key area to improve child survival and promote healthy growth and development. The first 2 years of a child’s life are particularly important, as optimal nutrition during this period lowers morbidity and mortality, reduces the risk of chronic disease, and fosters better development overall.
The CEO Bébé en Santé has asked the students in an international business class to develop a business plan for her company to provide baby formula to poor people throughout…

South Africa is struggling against the rising tide of drug use, especially among the youth of our country. Recent statistics are hard to come by, however, the latest report from the South African Community Epidemiology Network on Drug Use (SACENDU) shows that an alarming 21-28% of patients treated for substance abuse in 2016-7 were under the age of 20 years old - and those are merely the figures of people who have undergone treatment, not taking into account the many who never make it to this point. An article from last year cites South Africans as among the top 10 narcotics and alcohol abusers in the world, also stating that a previous SACENDU report* said that the average age of experimentation in South Africa is 12 years old. Yes, that means that children start experimenting with drugs and alcohol in primary school, already. Though worrying, it makes ones wonder what causes lead children to experiment with drugs, and what the effects that drugs have on their health - both mental and…

Use the following information to answer the question:
Raymi and Associates is a medium-sized company headquartered in La Paz, Bolivia. The organization works with a collective of cocaleros (coca farmers) in the Chapare highland region. Bolivian Law 1008 ("Law on the Regime Applicable to Coca and
Controlled Substance", 1988) permits up to 12,000 hectares of coca cultivation for traditional consumption and other legal uses. Coca has been used indigenously for centuries as a stimulant to overcome fatigue, hunger and thirst and to counteract
altitude sickness. Local homeopathic uses of coca include the treatment of diabetes and osteoporosis. The leaves can be chewed, or infused in a tea. Coca is exported legally worldwide as a compound widely used in the cosmetics industry, and
decocainized coca is a flavoring used by Coca-Cola. Bolivians also make a coca leaf liqueur that is becoming increasingly popular. The current President, the first indigenous president to hold office, supports the…
