CASE 5



You don’t think that this is actually the harsh truth, that things like this happen, before they happen. But even after that an accident happens, and the company has started to be more careful, at some point, the accident that happened that made the company think of what they’ve been doing is wrong, will be forgotten, and they will go back to their old ways of doing things. The problem is that everything is always about money, saving it form not buying new and safer equipment, or having an employee doing more than they are physically or mentally able to do.

CASE 5a:

The problem with this is though that he didn’t tell the Bank that he was suffering from epilepsy, which was the cause of his death, but also if the Bank didn’t ask about any conditions he might have, then they should have done that, to be aware of it. But even though he wouldn’t have been suffering from epilepsy, he shouldn’t have been doing that much work, without sleep, any normal person needs sleep as well. I think they should be monitoring the employees more, and seeing to it that, no one is working to much. (Thomas, E. 22.11.2013.)

CASE 5b:

I think it’s a great suggestion to have a corporate wellness program. If you take care of your employees you are also taking care of the company, if the employees are doing well, then the company is also doing well. If an employee doesn’t have the free time to go to a class, or the gym on the free time, then it might be easier if it’s offered during the workday. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t feel good after some kind of workout, or wellness class, or that eating the right way, taking care of your body, would have ever been harmful. So, the employees will also be more refreshed. (Morgaine, B. 21.10.2018.)

The statistics numbers on accidents in 2014 is just terrifying. Those were only in the EU, so think about the numbers in Asia and the United States. This is just terrible. Of course, all of these aren’t caused by the employer being at fault, but still. The stats said that accidents are happening more to men then to women. It said that it may have to do with the fact that there were more men in the labour force. But I think it has to do with the fact that men are more careless then women, and also take more risks, and this isn’t the company’s fault. (Eurostat, 5.2018.)

CASE 6

A: An employee that cares about the company, is also engaged in it. They do things without being asked and even if the boss isn't watching, they do it simply out of their own will to help the company to success without getting a reward. If an employee isn't engaged, they will leave the company straight away if they get a better offer from someone else. You as an employer has to show the employee that they are cared about and valued in the company, because without that an employee will certainly not be engaged in the company. B: A big problem is the rapid changing in jobs. To keep your employees, you need to reshape your engagement strategy and earn the loyalty of their employees. You need to respond to the changes happening around us in the world. It's a clear fact that the companies that have engaged employees achieve better business results. Sources: Kruse, K. 22.6.2012.

CASE 1

The problem they now have, after the damage has already been done, is how to get back from what they did, since the world has realized what they did isn’t okay, and that beautiful is seen in so many ways, that there are different kinds off beautiful. A big thing is also the size of the person, they could qualify by the hair and facial features, but if they are even a bit bigger than average it's not even possible to recruit them, since they are supposed to be wearing the company's clothes, and the company only makes up to size L, which is a size M in the real world. The biggest problem with the company's recruitment process was , according to me, that they didn't think a few years into the future, and maybe try to predict that the way they were doing things wouldn't work in the future. That they only chose sales associates according to their appearance, and that there was only one specific kind of beautiful according to Abercrombie & Fitch. They had to be m...

CASE 3

I think the problem here is that the manager was uncomfortable with giving appraisal and the employee receiving, and that it's still a way too common thing.  as well as not enough communication between, so the employee had no idea that it hadn't gone as well as they had thought. this also creates the problem that if you wait a long time to tell the employee that they aren't doing as well of a job that they initially thought, then it's lost time with a bad performance. If the employer tells the employee that they aren't doing such a good job, straight away, then the employee can make a change much faster. or that the employee is doing a good job, but not the job they are supposed to be doing.   ''After all, you may have a very hard-working and dedicated team member, but if he or she is not working on things that advance the organization's purpose, what is the point?'' (Bumgarner, J. 2011).  By using new technology and software’s, the appraisa...
