Science Application International Corporation (SAIC) is the organization I work for. It is a service based company that provides its expertise to the Department of Defense and the Federal Government as well as other smaller organizations. I’ve been approved to work remotely and have been actively doing it for over five years. My proposal for SAIC is to expand the ability to work remotely to a larger group of employees.
Some reasons to expand remote work includes; saving time, saving money, and reducing resources usage. Employees will have a better work/life balance, have improved productivity, and have the flexibility to schedule work around personal needs. These employee improvements will lead to less stress, better creativity, and higher performance, and better job satisfaction. Allowing more employees to work from home can prevent a future need to expand to larger office spaces.

Awareness will be created by promoting the change on the intranet that is accessible by all employees. To provide the Desire, we will articulate what the change is and how it will impact each employee. Knowledge of the documentation necessary to work from home is provided with the company documentation as well as a link from the intranet article. The Ability to make the change is fairly easy, but there will need to be some skills developed to keep the work from home person on track with their tasks as well as demonstrate ways to keep in touch with co-workers. Reinforcement will come in the accountability for working from home as well as demonstrating that working from home provides no negative consequences to the employee’s ability to perform their job
BIG FLATS (WENY) - Imagine being able to market, develop and sell your business idea all within just a few years.

In addition the employers should make a selection of eligible employees, as the personal circumstances as well as the assignment circumstances are significant for the work-at-home issue. Additionally, the willingness of the employees to work by themselves is important. Concerning to the close-knit working culture the company should determine permanent office meetings to ensure the agreement from everyone to the current issue. Furthermore the overall circumstances such as the work hours, the times when the employee has to appear at the office, the required technology and the protection of the confidential data need to be considered (Whitacker, 2016)
can create flexibility, better customer service, and increased productivity. This will also create a home-based virtual office environment. This will help with employee retention, especially those that are experienced and skilled.
By aligning our pay objectives with the compensation system, we will ultimately be able to save the organization an estimated $420,000 alone by preventing turnover in our critical talent pools. Keeping these people in the organization also allows us to maintain long-term relationships with our customers. Utilization of the system aids in recruitment of top talent in Research and Development, which is absolutely vital to our business strategy of supplying innovative technology to customers. As a result of the HITECH/ARRA legislation, business in the technological healthcare industry will be flourishing. Therefore, obtaining high quality talent will be more difficult due to an increase in competition. FastCat’s competitors are already eroding our market, because large hospitals are taking over our current clientele. As a
As CEO of AMC, my initial goal would be to create a product that can’t be replicated with in-home technologies. I believe we hit the nail on the head by adapting our theaters with “4-D” technology. This means submersing the viewers with a 3-DS picture, and adding physical features including scents, rain, wind, etc. Although it exists in a few standalone theaters, no chain has migrated towards this and would provide us a massive competitive edge. AMC would become the place consumers experience a movie, instead of merely watching. The second product would be a totally new ballpark, and that is video-game tournaments. Currently, they are typically held in school cafeterias or cramped back-rooms, but by simply hooking up a console to our projector,
“This remote work may be something we should be doing more of, according to two new studies. Working from home can be good for your health and productivity. Not only did people who worked from home report greater work satisfaction and less “work exhaustion,” they also got better sleep. Separately, researchers found that the highest performing workers were the most likely to cultivate and excel in a “WFH” environment (Gregoire, 2015)”. If workers don't prefer to work at home they are more than welcome to continue working at the main workplace. The company will give each employee the opportunity to try working from home in order to have more space at the main work
In order to meet the challenges facing our department of providing quality patrol services we must strive to find ways to be creative in improving service delivery. To that end, I propose we utilize available technology to leverage the skills of our patrol officers by enhancing their ability in the field. As an agency, we have done well in the area of remaining ahead of most trends but with the ever-changing face of technology, it is difficult for law enforcement to keep up with those changes. This proposal will introduce a cost-effective way for patrol officers to utilize mobile crime mapping data via their department issued Apple iPhones that will potentially enhance their efficiency and effectiveness. The specific company / software
The significance of the proposal is to reassess the food service provide within a hospital. Hospitals are changing food service by moving away from the traditional tray line to room service, thus allowing in-patient to chose nutritious meals. The health care industry is more competitive and recognizes patients as customers, which can influence patients’ satisfaction scores during a hospital stay (Kim, Kim & Lee 2010). The objectives for the value-mapping streaming are to strategically remove waste, cut cost, reduce labor, and increase in patient satisfaction scores, while providing nutritious meals.

Performance monitoring can help identify lapses in productivity and eliminate the need to have people onsite. Edward E. Lawler, III points out in an article on the Forbes.com website that “the skills of managers are critical. With managers who can set meaningful goals, monitor performance results and provide feedback, remote working can produce good results. Without skilled managers, it will be a failure.”
Yet even though I work in Information Technology (IT) and utilize tools that enable one to work from outside of the office, detached from a desk, and way from subordinates and boss’s, my organization does not allow this. They use these tools as an avenue to enable individuals to work from home after work or on weekends and holidays. Reading this it may sound like the military is an unfair work place forcing members long hours, but I have no right to complain, as I volunteered and chose this life. But for the purposes of the assignment, I will look into, and examine the issue of companies using IT to extend work into employees’ home lives, and if doing so is based on ethical and moral grounds, or if it is
The abolishment of yahoo 's work from home policy influence employees’ motivation by making them work as a team. Because they will be physically together, employees will feel like a team. Employees also have a better chance of forming friendships with co-workers when they work in the same space. In addition, working in the same space will help produce collective ideas since co-workers will be able to share ideas over lunch or breaks. Also, it establishes loyalty and trust among its employees making them more committed. In doing this, employees are more likely to keep company information private.
With the development of laptops, smartphones, smoke detectors, microwave ovens, ipods, Global Positioning Satellites(GPS), Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI), and uncountable other devices and Computers loaded with word processing, spreadsheet analysis and presentation software programs have become standards on each employee's desk. A lot of employees managed to get a break away from the traditional methods of work. Work-from-home, a dream for people of the yore, is now a reality.
Lastly, working from home help us avoid from traffic congestion. Most people claim that they waste too much time to commute to work. For instance, in big cities people get stuck in traffic almost one-two or more hours everyday. Stuck in traffic jam will make our day tension and cannot concentrate on work. So, if employees are given the opportunities to work from home, it can saves their time and energy, as well as the costs associated with their commute such as petrol, etc. Lot of time has been saved, vice verse and do not have to face with the traffic
