...ethical issues associated with conflict in the contemporary workplace? Option B 9/27/2012 HRMN365 \la In the earlier centuries, contemporary workplaces put all of their focus on making their organization grow; however in the twenty century there have been more and more major ethical issues such as Employee Behavior, Harassment, and Paying Employees Equally associated with conflict in the contemporary workplace. Since the rise of ethical issues in the contemporary workplace, it is no longer in the organization hands to enforce ethic training; Courts have made a decision that ethics training became a legal requirement “federal guidelines and state laws make it essential that you provide your employees with a compliance training program on certain laws and ethics-related topics” (Ethics Training Program & Corporate Compliance Training Programs, n.d.). Researchers haves said (Ferrell, O.C., Fraedrich, John and Ferrell, Linda, 2008) that by having an ethical workplace, your organization will benefit from it; it is the key to building an ethical work environment. “A compliance Training program will save you money by reducing the number of legal claims and the costs of investigating, litigating, and resolving those claims” (Ethics Training Program & Corporate Compliance Training Programs, n.d.).

Furthermore, the article demonstrates how managers are mindful of the disagreement that to interest favorably experienced workers, companies must offer bonuses like higher salaries and stock options. This study detonates the misunderstanding that fiscal incentives function too inversely across the corporate scale to be exchangeable to low-level employees. Through widespread examination of asset building throughout all stages of the business, this study determines how one company decreased their turnover rates in half and reduced accident rates as well as training and recruitment expenses. There are several challenges of designing an asset-building program presented in this case study. Managers have a responsibility to cultivate a work atmosphere where the employee meets the requirements of the organization, and the organization meets the necessities of the employee.

...the assignment hand-in schedule | Instructions on Assessment: The aim of this assignment is to provide an opportunity for the critical analysis of a contemporary international marketing issue facing organisations, in order to assess / evaluate the strategic marketing implications of the ‘issue’ for organisations in the development/implementation of their international marketing strategies. Part One The assignment is designed in two equally weighted parts. Select a contemporary international marketing issue for research and analysis. This should be an ‘issue’ that has current relevance and personal interest to form the basis of the study. Notes: The selection should not simply be a broad ‘topic’ or subject area. The ‘issue’ identified must represent a current area of debate regarding international marketing practice, possibly some form of challenge or dilemma which organisations face in developing and implementing their international marketing strategies. As such, the ‘issue’ selected should have been the basis of extensive academic research, so allowing a review of relevant literature to be carried out as part of the assessment task (see below). For example, the student may be interested in consumer demand – this is simply the broad topic not an issue that can be researched. However, an issue that does relate to this topic, and could form the basis for the assessment, is ‘the extent to which there is, or is not, international convergence of consumer...
