...information as to why there is a decrease in morale and their answers are far too similar to infer anything about why the morale is low, and why there is a high turnover rate. The cost of constantly training new employees is quite troublesome for the company, which is why the consulting team is looking to reduce these expenses. Hypothesis In order to figure out the cause of BIMS high turnover rate and low morale, our consulting group hypothesizes that by using an employee survey as an instrument to collect data, the company would be able to address the underlying issues of the problem. Purpose The purpose of surveying the workers is to identify the root cause of the decrease in morale and high turnover rate. Due to these concerns, the concentration should be on improving employee motivation and at least keeping employee retention to industry standard. Also, this will help in reducing the cost of training new employees to fill the positions left by unsatisfied employees. Research questions The goal of these research questions is to find the reasons as to why there is a high turnover rate for BIMS. Analyzing the data given by the supported survey, we should be able to detect the pattern as to why there is a growing unhappiness with current employees and use it to understand why the past employees did leave the company. The research questions are mostly in the ordinal level of measurement and are quantitative in nature because they are given numerical values on a likert...

...Using the BIMS Part I data, Team C presents various descriptive statistics in the forms of frequency distribution table, measures of mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and graphical display of data. The first table is a frequency distribution table of one quantitative question in the BIMS data. Team C finds that the majority of the 78 respondents have between 0 to 20 months service with BIMS. The second highest group has between 40 to 60 months service with BIMS. The lowest frequency of one appears in five of the 17 classes. The classes with the lowest frequency of one are 120 < 140, 140 < 160, 240 < 260, 260 < 280, and 320 < 340. After summarizing the months of service per respondents, Team C focuses on the gender, division of employment, and manager/supervisors role questions. Team C completes the statistical summary of the BIMS data using the first 10 questions that represent the ordinal-level data. Frequency Distribution - Quantitative B.

...Services, Inc. (BIMS) assignment discusses the integration of a better way to retrieved vital results from employees. A company survey has been the primary means to the way BIMS has collected information about employees. The first survey BIMS conducted was not successful so a second survey was conducted. There has been omissions and additions to the company survey to get the best results possible. BIMS decided to go back to the drawing board after the results from the first survey came out. There were some minor mistakes that occurred with the first survey. Data was logged inaccurately from the results of the employees who took the first survey. The first survey was also considered unreliable, because of the lack of survey inputs from BIMS employees. Some of the employees who took the first survey did not answer all of the questions provided. The second survey was constructed differently and more efficiently to get better results from the employees. New questions have been added to the survey to gain important information about the employees. The new survey changed the wording of some questions because BIMS believed that the old questions were not worded in an understanding manner. Senior management help give recommendations on how the new survey was created. Questions were also added to the new survey to gain important information from the employees. The new survey was designed to get honest feedback from current employees and employees getting ready to leave BIMS. The new survey...

Over the past several months, Barbara Tucker, the general manager at BIMS, has noticed an increase in the turnover rate of employees, but no new reasons are being given during exit interviews to justify that increase. In order to find the cause, Barbara gives all employees a survey to complete and return.

...Analyzing and Interpreting Data: BIMS Week 5 QNT/351 November 1, 2015 Analyzing and Interpreting Data: BIMS Week 5 In the aforementioned survey that Ballard Integrated Managed Services created and conducted it was found to have lacked important material making the survey not as accommodating as it could have been. Ballard Integrated Managed Services had asked that recommendations be made about needed information on the survey that will help in the research of the increase of employee turnover. The previous survey covered elements of the proper training, ethics, and demographics but it likes a few more elements. First the survey was given to active employees and not to employees that were leaving the job. Another element of information that needs to be included is safety, such as do the employees feel like the work environment is safe. One more area that may be helpful information is to give the employee the opportunity to make a comment in a section set for additional comments that the survey may not include. For Ballard Integrated Managed Services to conduct a complete survey it is important the survey includes the information needed to acquire the results needed to help resolve the issues. When looking at the results from the exit interview, it is easy to see that the survey gave BIMS a better idea of why the member of the company was leaving, and not how the employee was feeling about his or her job. The questions were re-worded so not to be leading or easily misconstrued...

...Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent model-based process that provides insight to help you plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. BIMs are files that can be exchanged or networked to support decision-making about a place. Businesses and Individuals use BIM software to construct and maintain physical infrastructures from water, wastewater, electricity, bridges, ports, apartment buildings, schools, warehouses and much more. The term “Building Information Model” was first documented in a paper written by Van Nederveen and Tolman (1992), from TU Delft in the Netherlands, although the concept of BIM has existed since the 1970s. The US National Information Model Standard Project Committee has the following definition for BIM: “Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition” Before BIM, traditional building designs were largely reliant upon two-dimensional drawing. BIM has facilitated this process augmenting the three primary spatial dimensions width, height, and depth. With BIM we now have time as a fourth dimension and cost as a fifth dimension. BIM design tools allow extraction of different views from a building model for drawing production and other uses. BIM facilitates the communication...

This will help to ensure that the organization’s internal processes are understood allowing for onsite meetings to be as productive as possible. The BIM Champion should verify the organizational background and add information if necessary. Meeting with BIM Champion Early in the process an informal meeting with the BIM Champion, the lead contact for the organization, should be conducted. In this meeting the research team will review the methodology for the case study and establish a more detailed plan and schedule. During this meeting, the team will begin to identify necessary personal for each operating unit to be interviewed. It may be helpful to this task, to diagram the hierarchy of the different operating units and their different basic tasks. The goals of the case study will also be distinctly defined during this meeting. Additionally the BIM champion will be asked to begin locating artifacts of the organization including products and publications. The artifacts should include general statements about the organization and also the details of their BIM Implementation. It is important to understand the background of the organization’s BIM Use and whether or not they have a documented BIM Plan. If they have a BIM plan what are their goals for BIM Use as they relate to the mission of the organization. After the informal meeting with the BIM champion is completed...
