In my experience I worked for 12 years for the group TRAFIGURA , with the provision of BlackBerry / iPhone and laptops (with built-in 3G sim) that the company gave some employees , we had the opportunity to work from home, I also had some relaxations in the
schedules , in particular, I had the possibility to go to study my courses of CISCO during working hours and paid by the company .
The company also had a swimming instructor available for those who did not know how to swim, so they could enjoy these sessions in one of the pools of the guesthouse ; There was also provide a teacher to provide English classes for employees who wanted to learn two afternoon in the week for about 6 months.
In the same company in South Africa, every Friday traders had the Friday afternoon to play golf. During the 2010 World Cup held in South Africa , we were in our offices in Melrose ARCH at the time in Johannesburg and we had throughout the period, tickets to attend the games, we work until 10:15 am and at the parking , the bus was waiting for us to follow the matches and then bring us back after the match to finalize with our reports in the offices, for the matches in other cities like Durban, Bloemfontein , Port Elizabeth and Polokwane, there was our private jet He was waiting on the tarmac at Lanseria . Delegations from several countries of society from around the world were also invited per week to follow the matches during the 4 weeks of the tournament and all this at the expense of the company .
I felt supported and motivated to continue to do my job in a dedicated way, personally when I arrived at work, I arrange to finalize the files in a timely, documented and fast, in short I gave the best of me because I thought I could get more because I was doing a good job and I was not thinking about leaving the company with what they were proposing so that we could have some time learning something during the hours of service.
It was also the same feeling that prevailed around colleagues and the company kept many employees in it for many years yet it did not offer the best wages.
We were convinced that staying longer in this business would give us things that other companies do not necessarily give.
With this kind of treatment, employees feel supported, supported and attracted to society, they still give the best and stay longer as they are simply fulfilled in their daily lives.

I end my post by thanking all of you for this nice time we had in this course and a big special thanks to Dr. Kim who was an amazing support, we really learned a lot.
To my teammates, Good continuity for your studies and take care.

Example of a Self-Concept Case Study

Cultural Intelligence for Leaders (2012) defined self-concept as “the totality of complex, organized, and dynamic system of learned beliefs, attitudes and opinions that each person holds to be true about his/her personal existence” & the self-concept we hold to be true helps us form a “perception of who we are based on expectations from, and responses to, our social environment; stimulated by internal and external factors that can create intense emotional responses, impacting on our willingness to learn and our choice of action - guiding our behaviors” (p. 127). In the case (WA, 2018) Jack is a 36-year-old leader within a major hospital who prides himself as a professional. In his work, he supports and helps each of his team members. In his personal life, he used to focus on eating healthy and exercising regularly. In the past year, his focus on healthy living declined because of professional responsibilities. As a consequence, his state of health deteriorated to a point that hi

DeBeers - the diamond trading company

PESTEL analysis Political aspect: In 1994 the DeBeers operation was prohibited in the United States territory because of antitrust legislation. These facts complicate the DeBeers operation and shake the whole company. Economic aspect: Although in 1990s DeBeers ruled the whole industry, after several events such as Soviet Union collapse and Alrosa’s appearing, DeBeers lost its control over the market. In addition, Canada’s appearing in the diamond market forced DeBeers to hold back a large portion of its diamonds from the market and purchase much of the excess supply from these producing countries often at inflated prices (McAdams, Reavis, 2008, p.7). Social aspect: In the mid-1990, Angola, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Democratic Republic Congo were outflanked by rebel forces opposed to the government. DeBeers sponsored this military conflict by “blood diamonds” purchasing. Technological aspect: The main threat is the synthetic diamonds grown is the lab-conditions. This tec

Case Study 2: Young, Confident, and Moving too Fast

Introduction             The increasing complexities of organizations as it grows and as some take the path of globalization resulted in diversity and attracted many forms of cultural differences. Hence, the need to manage these cultural differences existing within organizations has been increasingly becoming necessary. This is particularly true for managers who may be caught in between various individual culture that each of its subordinates is accustomed to. Managing cultural differences requires what they called cultural intelligence (CQ). Broadly speaking, CQ is the ability to cut across various cultural contexts such as ethnic, generational, or organizational cultures (Livermore, 2011, p. 5). In this paper, the generational cultural differences between Joanne, the manager, and Julia, the newly hired subordinate will be discussed. To give a brief background, Julia is a confident, fast learner, and passionate young woman who wants to do more in her job without being micromanaged
