Steps to Solve Problems at the Roanoke Branch

The Roanoke branch of Phoenix Advertising has been one of the company’s most successful branches in previous years, handling the company’s largest accounts and maintaining a strong human resource pool. However, recent observable difficulties have brought the branches’ current human resource practices into question, as reports of key personnel leaving or threatening to leave their jobs, sharp declines in productivity, and loss of employee morale reach the company’s headquarters. Under my capacity as Vice President of Human Resources Management for Phoenix Adverting, I have conducted an investigation into the causes of difficulties in the Roanoke branch and have identified one critical problem as employees’ loss of morale

Phoenix Advertising as a whole has always put our clients first and is well known for our excellent work. As you know, the Roanoke branch had been experiencing difficulties since January of 2015 with regards to overworked and underpaid employees and a loss of clients. Productivity had declined by 20 percent over the course of the past few months, and we lost a few key members of our team. In response to our current crisis, I have developed a proposal in order to return Phoenix Advertising to the standard of excellence we

For my research paper I decided to choose the Roanoke topic, this topic really interested me and as soon as I learned about it, I was eager to learn more. An explorer named Sir Walter Raleigh and some settlers in 1585 first founded the Roanoke Colony. The finding was an attempt by Queen Elizabeth I to find an English settlement in North America. Roanoke Colony was established on Roanoke Island in the outer banks of North Carolina. While Sir Walter Raleigh was in Roanoke he was able to find 2 crucial goods, potato and tobacco, which was one of the first examples of “cultural diffusion”. The governor of the Roanoke Colony was John White, he left for a short trip to England and when he came back he found the settlement deserted. Roanoke mysteriously

The Roanoke was established in 1585 on Roanoke island which is now Dare County , North Carolina. A group of 115 English settlers arrived on the island in 1587. Later that year John White the governor of the new colony decided he will sail back to England to gather a fresh load of supplies. When he arrived, a major naval war broke loose between Spain and England. In August 1590 , White finally returned to Roanoke, where he had left his family.Virginia Dare , his infant granddaughter was the first english kid born in the Americas. White found no trace of the colony or its inhabitants. He had few clues to what had happened from the single word “Croatoan” which means, carved into a wooden post. Roanoke continued over the centuries. No one has

The Roanoke Colony was a successful colony for about three years; however, one day when a ship came to deliver food to the colony they realized that all of the colonist had vanished and all that remained was a word carved into a nearby tree in some foreign language. I believe that the Roanoke Colony was murdered by a group of Native Americans nearby that maybe wanted some sort of revenge for the deaths of their people. The reason behind my thinking is because of the word that was carved into the nearby tree sounded as if it could have came from a Native. It also believed that some Natives practiced cannibalism so maybe that's why no bodies were left behind. Lastly, another reason that the disappearance could be the Natives doing, is that maybe

The colony of Roanoke was one of the first known colonies to appear in the “New World”. Roanoke’s origins trace back to around 1587 when John White and company brought over about 120 European settlers. To this day the colony of Roanoke and what happened there remains one of the biggest mysteries in the colonization of America. The stories say that after John White returned to Europe to gather supplies many different things could have happened to the settlers including: Indian assaults, disease, or the ongoing war with the Spanish. However, after doing some research and reading different articles about the colony of Roanoke, I have developed a much better understanding of what I believe happened and the truths/myths that are presented in the historical articles. I believe that the main topics in the disappearance of Roanoke are the conflicts that surrounded the colony, the very few items found upon John White’s return to the colony, and the newly developed

Before the last several months, the Roanoke Branch of Phoenix has been a vital part of the Phoenix Advertising family. In an attempt to increase profitability, the branch recently instituted its own policies regarding overtime and compensation. However, a lack of employee morale and a decline in the quality of client product were the outcome. Roanoke has experienced 20 percent of its top management people leaving for positions with a competing agency along with additional design team members threatening to do the same. Client satisfaction has shown a decline at a rate of 15 percent. The following proposal will guide Roanoke back on track to restore employee morale and client product quality. While the current situation is bad, it is not insurmountable

On Oct +++ I visited the Roanoke division of Phoenix Advertising to investigate existing problems in the division. At which time I met with Jim Fuller CEO of Roanoke. Jim stated that the division is experiencing some growth issues and welcomes my assistance in bringing back employee moral and company profits. Jim had previously sent me the Financials and employee surveys I had requested from him. He had also initiated an employee comment box that he supplied me with upon arrival.

In 1587 the English made a second attempt to colonize in America due to the unsuccessful colonization of the first attempt in 1854. The English went in search of wealth and a solution to decrease the lower sort population. Both Richard Hakluyt and Walter Ralegh expected more from the second attempt to colonize, but things didn’t go as planned. In 1590 when John White went back, he found the island empty with the word “coroatoan” carved on a tree.

Riordan, based on employee surveys, needs to discover the best practices of companies that have solved issues similar to their concerns. Riordan Manufacturing will need to engage and motivate employees by transforming this low morale culture and retain existing employees through new reward and incentive programs. This paper will address motivation as it applies to Riordan employees and rewarding their employees. It will also explain the importance of effective communication through management.

The participants were surveyed twice over a period of one year; the surveys were mailed out to the facilities and were self-administered to the participants. Participants had three weeks to complete and mail the survey back to the research facility using the return envelope provided. The survey response rate was sixty-five percent of those surveyed and included

Since morale manifests itself in the attitudes of employees, it is important to find the results of high morale and low morale. The effects of morale are given below:

It is widely acknowledged that regardless of cost, it pays for employers to invest in employee morale. Companies that consider the ‘numbers’ over the actual benefits when deciding upon salary decreases, layoffs or canceling benefits, disregard the effect on morale and therefore on productivity and loyalty. Qualitative analysis will consistently acknowledge the people factor of business. Many SMEs quite often value their staff as the foundation of their business and consider the well being and affect on staffing before implementing a financial decision.

In order to achieve this, most of the researchers above conduct in-depth interviews or mass surveys filled with a structured questionnaire distributed to more than 200 sample sizes of different organization backgrounds such as public accountants,

In total, fifty (50) questionnaires were administered to respondents out of which forty-five (45) representing 90% were retrieved and considered valid for data analysis, The distribution of selected contractors are expressed in Table 4.1 below.
