In Module Two, you learned about the ways organizations support their people, whether it be within the workplace or the local community. For this journal entry, you will evaluate business practices that are not considerate of employees and communities, brainstorm reasons why the practices may have been established, and consider how they can be improved.
Directions
For this journal, select and evaluate one of the following practices:
Employee pay is low.
Employee training is limited.
Employee benefits are minimal; there is little paid time off or sick time available.
Employees describe the workplace culture as stressful, competitive, or alienating.
A business does not give back to the local community in any way.
A business outsources many of its suppliers, even though many local suppliers are available.
Then evaluate your selected practice by addressing the following rubric criteria:
General Factors: Describe general factors that may have contributed to an organization or business implementing this practice.
Potential Negative Repercussions: Identify potential negative repercussions of the practice on employees, the local community, or the business or organization.
Benefits: Explain benefits for employees, the local community, or the business or organization experience that might occur if a more people-friendly practice were incorporated.
