·         Policies are sometimes under-utilized by career-oriented professionals. ·         Users may face stigma; career backlash; glass ceiling effect. ·         Policy use is sometimes not supported by management. Absenteeism, supervision, equity, performance, customer service and the overall creation of more work for managers who have to coordinate the implications of more complex policies are among the most prevalent concerns of among management when considering the implementation of these types of policies. Given the valid concerns, what are the benefits—both tangible and to the culture of an organization that undertakes the adoption of policies designed to help employees with work-life balance?  .  I see life-changing benefits of work-life balance. In my first company, I did not have any work-life balance, because the company mostly worked on fixed bid projects ...

INTRODUCTION This week is about cultural intelligence within the organization and how to improve it for better use. In this work, we will try to give some opinions on the subject with some observations. DEVELOPMENT We are proposing a mining company that will operate a mining concession containing copper and cobalt 350 km north-west of the capital Kinshasa in a small town called Yumbi in Congo. The employees will be accommodated in a camp with the possibility of having playgrounds, halls, and sports areas, and according to the contracts, they will be able to go after 3 weeks in their country of origin for rest.

There is a stream that passes through the concession and is of paramount importance to the people livi...

Introduction This issue is about performance appraisal at GENSER SPRL (GENERATOR SERVICES). Our main responsibility is to service any generator of our customer on time . Our mission is to perform our jobs above customers’ expectations thereby improving the quality of service . However, at the company, the focus is mostly on getting the work done and increasing the company’s bottom line. There is no formal career path in place for employees. Employees are employed based on the skills they have, and it is a ‘sink or swim’ situation. This has resulted in talented people leaving the company, more workload for the current employees and a general feeling of dissatisfaction among staff. Although management is aware of the problems; demotivation and employees’ dissatisfaction with the lack of upward mobility at the workplace they have not taken any formal measures to improve their policies or systems. For example, my supervisors are always temporary because of my varied job duties and the su...

I will start by saying that, I have worked for 2 employers so far in my 12 years career and I do not think the HR took any substantial step to raise cultural awareness. Saying that I will share my thoughts on what the HR can do.             I have always worked in multinational companies with people from various national backgrounds. While working regardless of cultural differences you are supposed to know your work and deliver. So, there is no bonding or cultural exchanges happen. But someone like myself who worked in multiple geographies can easily distinguish between work culture in India, USA, and Australia.             So, first thing, HR can do, before sending employees in foreign assignments they can train them about the countries culture and people. Along with any other training that is useful. In fact, I would say, learning the language and being able to follow accent i...
