Great discussion post this week! Seniority is a subject that some companies abide by and where some companies do not. I personally feel that seniority is always a fine line too. It is a topic that can get personal to people, especially if they are new to a company. I have not had any experiences yet where the manager uses seniority for benefits or anything, and I hope I never will. I understand that employees who have worked at a company the longest should have the first opportunity, but I just do not agree with that. I feel that the most qualified employee for the job position should have the job, and the employees, new or old, that complete the work on time and effectively should have a promotion. Let's say that an older worker who works slow and never gets things done or right is offered the position and accepts it over a newer employee who is a hard worker, gets the job done on time, and is done right, does that make sense? …show more content…
If both, new and old employees are hard workers and are equal when it comes to work ethic and getting the job done on time then I could see how seniority could play a part, but other than that I do not see how beneficial it is to a company. I can see where you are coming from when you say it has its need, but I can also see how it can be taken way to far as well. I feel like we are on the same page that quality is more important than seniority. I agree with you as well that focusing on making the organization better instead of focusing on who’s works where longer can actually ruin an organization in the long run. Seniority can cause a lot of problems, but it is all based on your own view as well and how one wants to run a company. I enjoyed reading your views and seeing your perspective on this topic this
Although very unfamiliar, Hal becomes one of the four seniors, but after Ricardo resigns, Hal becomes in-charge-senior,
As the population of older adults grows, health care and career opportunities will evolve. (Moody, 2015). Consequently, programming to address the unique needs of individuals in the aging population will be in demand. Senior Reach is a model for senior psychosocial support. The mission and structure of Senior Reach were explored via program resources, staff interviews, and service learning training. Moreover, self reflection determined if the career track merited further pursuit.
The principle of seniority, used by Always Round, is easy to apply at the lower levels because of its being the most objective. This type of promotion system does not present a view of favoritism or nepotism, considering only age and experience. In a blue collar society, it is very much in-line with the established
One of the major concerns for union representatives in negotiating collective bargaining agreements is job security for members the union represents. In order to ensure that this is captured in the collective bargaining agreements, the seniority clause is one of the provisions that have been factored-in in collective bargaining agreements. As per this provision, an employer is to take into consideration the length of service of an employee in making personnel decisions like promotions, termination of employment, and rehiring. Therefore, the seniority clause as espoused in a collective bargaining agreement is aimed at ensuring job security for employees represented by the union (Zwick, 2012).
This report is intended to be presented to senior management within the NHS. It evaluates the challenges that NHS Choices is facing with its current social media adoption or use and does so through an evaluation of two social media platforms: Facebook and Twitter. The selection of these two specific social media platforms is driven by the popularity of Facebook and Twitter with the UK population. In an Ofcom report published in 2014, 96% of online adults used Facebook as their default social networking site closely followed by Twitter (Ofcom, 2014). It is important therefore to evaluate how NHS Direct can utilise social media to effectively communicate with the UK population. This report is divided into two subsequent parts. Part II evaluates the challenges that NHS Choices currently face with regards to its current adoption. Part III builds on this analysis by advising how NHS Choices can effectively use social media to improve the services provided to patients.
We have come to a time where it is imperative to reset our courses associated with the safety of the employees, the safety of the brand and the longevity of the company alongside their competitive edge. As senior manager, consideration should not be limited to solely short-run solutions. It is primary for the company’s decision makers of all tiers manage the negative and positive potential of any crisis as time can carry the possibilities of unknown limits. Accommodations must be made for the entire community (Senior Management, Ergonomists, Labor Leaders, Politicians of the city, Service Staff, Human Resources and Line Management) under the company’s payroll that has been affected by this natural disaster using our revised Crisis Management Portfolio.
The good thing about people with experience is that as an employer, you can count on that employee almost every day. Employees with seniority are considering being employees that don’t miss work that often. Nevertheless, people with previous experience tend to solve all can of issues the same way they handled it in the past. We are living in constant changes and if we don’t keep up with that pace, we can find ourselves outdated and our previous experience becomes something in the past. For instance, an employee working as an inventory coordinator with 20 years of experience using AS 400 can find himself struggling with (SAP) (Heneman, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012,).
“POW” Back In The Civil Rights Law”, Rita C. Tobin discusses the age discrimination case against Jack Gross, a successful claims administrator director, and how he was demoted to a lower position. Gross knew this demotion was due to his age, and he decided to sue the agency, but in turn lost. Gross’ case did open doors for other individuals that are fired or demoted due to ageism, and hopefully people are considered for a position due to their work ethic and work skills, not their
Thank you for taking time out of your day to look at my Senior Project Portfolio. Over the past six months, I have been working on learning how to play the piano. Playing a musical instrument has dependably been one of my objective since I was a kid. Learning how to play a musical instrument has been always been a challenge for me. When I think about piano, it is another method for getting away from my life when being stressed just like how art is for me.
They have been trapped in high school for almost four years now. They trudge through every day, not paying much attention to the time that is flying by. It hasn’t occurred to them how soon they will be out of the prison called high school…until now. Most, if not all, seniors catch a case of senioritis early or mid-term in their senior year. Once they have caught senioritis, there is little hope that they will recover, at least not until they receive their high school diploma. Upon catching senioritis, students no longer find joy in the day to day attending of classes. The seniors begin to realize that half of the classes that they are taking won’t matter in the long run of their career ambitions. The awe and terror of what high school was before they started now starts to crumble at the foundation. There are a few exceptions to the contraction of this horrid disease, however. Seniors who get involved come to appreciate the fact that they will no longer be able to attend high
“Sketchy evidence that older workers experience discrimination because of their age is easy to find. The popular press includes many stories of individual employees who have been replaced by younger workers, sometimes just before they become eligible for lucrative retirement benefits. Older workers (in the past) were forced by mandatory
Senior employee is preferable than fresh employee in the stereotype of age. They have more job competency because of experiences,
Age discrimination in employment is a complex issue which impacts many areas of Government policy and has many implications for individuals themselves. Age discrimination can occur across all spectrums of employment and can affect both young and old. Age discrimination can affect a person’s chances of getting a job, and potentially their chances of promotion or development within the workplace. Age can also be a factor when employers are deciding who should be selected during a workforce downsize or redundancy of work due to a mergers and acquisitions.
Age discrimination is an issue today, more than ever especially when companies seek to avoid having to pay retirement or medical benefits and do so by firing older employees who might be about to invest in their pension or who might need medical attention. Another reason is that older employees may be paid more than new hires, so companies replace older workers with new workers just for that reason. This type of change is in addition to those who are simply biased against older workers and who take any opportunity to remove older works and bring in new blood
Age discrimination has long been present in society due to the rapid development happening around us. According to Farney, Aday & Breault (2006), this era of ageism is defined as "discrimination against any age group", but it often is pointed to age discrimination among adults which is slowly causing a negative effect for them in the workplace. In the workplace, adults with more experience and longer history behind them are targets of this ageism belief that companies and employers tend to have (Farney, Aday, & Breault, 2006). They are shunned and even fired in favor of accepting new and fresh faces for the company they have worked for. Unknown to most companies and employers, this notion of favoring the young and banishing the old can
