Another big part of her job is training of managers. She said that she is constantly making phone calls to managers around the country working on their skills. “Role playing,” is the term Jaime used to describe what she does with store managers. She said that far too often managers are placed in situations where they are unsure how to handle in a way that the Buckle Corporation would want them to. By presenting managers with situation and asking them “how would you handle this?” it keeps the managerial teams proactive. She also mentioned that twice a year, all managers are asked to please come to Kearney for a formal evaluation and training weekend called “manager meetings.” This gives the generalists a chance to meet everyone face to face and get a feel for what they are actually like as a manager, rather than continuously having phone conversations. I did ask if is difficult not being able to evaluate the managers in person and see how things are run. She assured me that the steps they take to talk with employees and managers on the phone are a big help. At manager meetings, individuals are graded on how they interact with others, how they respond to situations and tough questions, and how they present themselves. This give the Buckle human resource team insight as to how they are running

Unlike many hiring pages on company websites, Dollar General is upfront about their tendency to promote from within. They don’t try to sell anyone on how “exciting” it is to be a cashier or to work in retail in general. The website doesn’t talk down to potential employees, it all but admits that getting in at the store level is a stepping stone. Dollar General also offers employees tuition assistance and discounted tuition to help them

There are several different types of stores within the discount retail industry, and for comparison's sake, the industry is further broken into many segments. DG is in the market segment known as the dollar store category. As a result, competitors such as Wal-Mart are in the same industry but not the same peer group. Comparisons will be made throughout this report to Wal-Mart and other big firms because they tend draw some of the same customers.

The manager that stepped into your position should have taken the time to integrate herself into your store before making any changes or statements.

I agree with you when you say that the employees should be helpful and and friendly. This is a good reminder for being anywhere.You made a great points.

Dear Dollar General or as you will now be known as to me Ghetto General, because I shop there all the time.

The Charles Schwab & Company was founded shortly after the U.S. SEC deregulated brokerage commissions in 1975. The company differentiated itself at the time by becoming a self-service brokerage house that put the power in investor’s hands to make critical decisions while paying up to 75% less than traditional brokerage firms. This established the brand as a trend setter, which it further cemented by becoming a technological leader in 1996 when it introduced an online trading platform. Schwab then began to further cut prices and offer financial services through three different market segments:

If management is not available to the employees issues can go unnoticed. For example, the cleaning task for the week cannot be completed because the store needs a new duster. This employee decides that dusting with a rag will suffice. The next week the same problem happens, but this employee does not dust at all. After an average of three weeks the store will notice they need the item and order it. If managers had time for the employees, problems like this can be avoided. If that first employee had time to speak with the manager, and the manager was not distracted by 15 other things, this issue could have gotten solved weeks before. Allocating a few minutes each day with employees can ensure that nothing is being

The Partner/Manager program also diminishes the value of open communication. Communication is an essential ingredient in all relationships. By instituting the district managers’ roles “as coaches, rather than as policemen –and they would supervise 8 to 10 stores rather than the traditional 3 or 4”, the program is deluding the vision of working together to succeed. The Partner/Managers are missing a meaningful piece of the pie. The Partner/Managers are losing the experience and information that the district managers possess and could share if a more inclusive relationship is integrated. While doubling the responsibility of overseeing more stores, district managers lose contact with the individual store

Firstly, every business establishment has leaders who play a major role in, managing productive staffs. The managers must have effective communication skills; for staffs to understand their roles within the business, what their daily duties are.

Staffing the organization with managers and employees capable of executing the strategy well can be the difference between the success and failure of a business. An organization can have the top-notch resources and ideal market space, but if the employees are not capable of executing the strategy-well then all else fails. Bad employees can negatively affect the employer by driving down sales or create bad reputations. This weakens the company and allows the company to incur unwanted expenses due to negligence or simple lack of motivation. Bad employees also affect the customers and clients as well. For example, if a customer has a bad experience with an employee, the customer doesn’t blame the individual, they blame the entire company for the bad experience and may refuse to do business with the company ever again. This is especially true within the customer service, hospitality, and restaurant industries.
