Current Work Life Policy Issues And Recommendations For The Veragon Corporation

After reviewing the data it is apparent the promotional rate of women in managerial positions when compared to the men is disproportional to the size of the population. This shows disparate treatment, the company hires women, but women do not promote at the same pace as men. This shows strong evidence of discrimination and if not resolved will lead to a violation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

➢ Why: Despite improving the sales of her brand (ice cream) for Hy Dairies she believes she is being “sidelined” because the company did not want women or minorities in top level management positions.

This company is currently facing financial issues predominantly due to the fact that there is no real structure in the company for anything. For example, the CEO makes all decisions himself, though decisions are based on his current temperament at the time (Long, 2010, p. 512). When an employee wishes for a wage increase he does more often then not grant it, however rather than conducting an employee evaluation his decision is based on his mood, and/or how wells he knows the employee and their family circumstances (Long, 2010, p. 512) As a result, this has lead to pay inequity as all employees receive a different wage regardless of whether or not they perform the same job, have different credentials, and/or experience; furthermore this company is highly lacking distributive justice. Additionally, it also appears that there are no clearly defined roles within the company. For example, the firm has few supervisors, and because their roles are not clearly spelled out they often end up contradicting each other (Long, 2010, p. 512). Similarly, there is no system for scheduling production; thus these factors add to the company’s financial crisis, because there are no efficient processes in

Opportunity: The electric automotive industry and Tesla should decrease both the costs of its batteries and in renewable energy to attract more purchasing customers.

Before I left the agency there were many layoffs and many resignations. The agency currently has many job vacancies. All staff and clients enjoy each other’s company and are sure that their needs are going to be met, but they often complain about the pay rate.

They believe they will let their emotions get the best of them in the decisions they make when it comes to leading a huge money making business. They feel women are less risk takers and in the business world it’s all about taking risks. Even though this can bring about new ideas and much more stability for workers as a whole. The individuals sitting upon the board of shareholders look towards making the fast money, so they believe women won’t lead them to that goal. The main objective for corporations is to make financial gains and increase net worth. She stated, “Weak, emotional, hysterical, gullible, dependent, and poor at math are a few of the common negative stereotypes about women so corporate CEO’s are reluctant to place a female in a seat of great power within a company. Gender stereotypes are hard to break, and like it or not, we are all prone to engaging in stereotyping at one time or another. As a society, we need to continue to encourage people to go beyond stereotypes and recognize the contributions that each individual, male or female, can make to the workplace (Galarza,

2a. Source B is a panel discussion between 5 different parties that were interested in discussing women and their troubles within the corporate world. The moderator during the discussion was Barbara Jones, senior editor of Harper's Magazine. The discussion took place in 1997 following the resignation of Brenda Barnes, the CEO and president of Pepsi-Cola North America. She decided to resign to be able to spend more time with her children. Media considered her a “casualty of anxiety and ambivalence forced on women by the terms of corporate success.” (Giving women the business: on winning, losing, and leaving the corporate game.Panel Discussion. n.d.) Many women felt her quitting put them back a long time because she had worked so hard to gain that position to quit and stay home with her children. Women had to fight so hard to get to the top, they felt she shouldn't have told them the reason she was quitting was due to her wanting to be a stay at home mom. Feminism had just began to really gain acceptance during this time in the 1990’s and the discussion talks about corporate culture and how women could succeed when odds were

What I also discovered was there were several problems in the amount of pay several employees were paid. The employee’s genetic makeup for the company over the last 10 years were two females, one which as Hispanic as two years younger than myself, the other around twenty years older than myself who was office manager. There were two male employees, the secretary, a Caucasian in his late sixties along with myself a Caucasian in my late

After Chrysler’s government bailout, there were many changes implemented in order to save the company and one of them being technology. By harnessing technology to improve performance, the company focused its efforts on developing and producing new vehicles that are safe, fuel efficient and reliable. There is much focus on moving towards development of environmental vehicles to reduce pollution and the use of gasoline and concentrate on energy (electric or hybrid) vehicles instead. The company’s success will rely much on how it embraces and moves along with technology.

Marie A. Chisholm-Burns states that “perhaps no sector has been more publicly scrutinized for its gender disparities than the corporate world” (312). While women tend to do most of the shopping for the household, they still lack the ability to voice their opinions about what can be done to improve consumption or shopping. USA Today recently wrote an article that was boldly named “Sexism in the Workplace is Worse Than You Thought” which talks about the gender bias women face in the workplace as they progress in their career (Chisholm-Burns 312). Since white males are considered superior in today’s society, diversity is hard to find in high-paying jobs. Because women face discrimination, many businesses struggle to reach their full potential. The glass ceiling is also very condescending and causes women to act negatively towards themselves. The discrimination in pay between men and women has caused many women to form anxiety or stress disorders, such as depression. It also causes women to not strive to be the best they can and because they struggle with this, the possibilities of having great women in leadership decreases even lower than it was originally. These low levels of female leaders also lack encouragement from good role models who would help them learn how to be a leader. If equality becomes a strong focus for corporations, then they should see a positive overall

With this being an example then I would suggest that Tanglewood maybe initiate some kind of incentive for these females to apply for jobs within the organization and move up the ladder which is a well known fact that Tanglewood’s core value is a standing relationship amongst its employees.

Despite this, the company has encountered problems over the years with its employees, leading to high turnover rates and lawsuits. While some employees are very happy with the way company

Chuck is the plant manager for the aluminum siding product line. Just like Betty, he has no college education but has had fifteen prior years of management experience. So far, he has been managing the plant for four years. He is responsible of overseeing twenty people within the plant. He has appointed two of his most capable employees to maintain the equipment since the equipment manufacturer has gone out of business. The other eighteen employees have remained on the shop floor to carry out the manufacturing duties. One major problem within this plant is employee retention. The average employee works at the company for about three years and later seeks a similar job elsewhere that pays higher wages. Employees are stating that the working conditions are poor, there is a lack of pay incentives, and rumors have been spreading that the plant may be sold in order to improve the company’s financial standing. As a manager, Chuck is not aware of the issues that employees are bringing up to the COO. It is also stated that Chuck does not seem to interact with his employees. The only time he does so is when they have a problem. In addition, the production goals are not being met and while he keeps requesting new equipment the company keeps struggling financially.

The recent departure of several senior-level women at Vision Software has significantly elevated Liz’s concern for gender bias at the company. She has arrived at a point where she feels compelled to communicate her frustration to their CEO, John Clark. She has experienced some uncertainty on whether or not she should send him a memo, and has asked for advice from a colleague whom she trusts.
