If I were in Jennifer's shoes the first thing I would do is meet with her father and discuss about how everything HR related was done in the company before she came. Then I would hold a meeting for all of the employees to introduce myself and ask them about their concerns or wants. Then I would analyze the data and map e a strategic plan on how I can motivate the managers to motivate their staffs, how to train new and old employees to make work done more efficiently , and establish a recruiting process. After speaking with managers and her father about what the employees need to be successful I would then run an add for a hiring event, to have candidates come in to the stores and see what motivates them to work. Carter Cleaning Company Case 2: 1) Is it true as Jack Carter claims “we can't be accused of being discriminatory because we hire mostly women and minorities anyway”? It is not true.

...resource management Carter Cleaning Company1 1. What would you do first if you were Jennifer? If I was Jennifer, I would have done the following things: -First thing, I would get information about the workforce, the employees, their situation and specific skills they have. I would try to find their motivations and their concerns in order to build a stronger relationship between them and my company. This first step must be develop during recruiting (one and one meeting) where I would have an overview about an applicant and see if he or she fits with the company’s goals. But Jenifer needs also to train them since her father wants the employees to do more different tasks. -Then I will set up a promotion plan so that employees’ motivation would be increase by working harder for their company. The issue is simple here; Tiffany has to deal with unskilled and unmotivated workforce who doesn’t really care about their job. So I would try to get them more involved by praising and compensating them. I would rather raise their salaries a bit more to keep them than doing many interviews that waste both time and money. -Last but not least, I would consider my employees as workers who add value to my company and service I provide and certainly not as “cost or adding charges”. This has to be one of the main matters of a human resource manager, about how to increase the employees’ value through management. I would provide to my employees clear data about the company in order to update...

...CHAPTER V Carter Cleaning Company 1. First, how would you recommend we go about reducing the turnover in our stores? We have to hire more qualified employees (e.g. high school graduate). If the employee has a better education, we didn’t need not so much time for training him. If we want to hire somebody without a high school grad, we can cooperate with colleges. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and time consuming. Another possibility is to hire someone who has already worked for us (rehiring). These people have already the skills and knowledge and we won’t waste time in training. To find an approach why so many employees leave, it is important to interview employees to improve the work environment. 2. Provide a detailed list of recommendations concerning how we should go about increasing our pool of acceptable job applicants so we no longer face the need to hire almost anyone who walks in the door. (Recommendations regarding the latter should include completely worded online and hard-copy advertisements and recommendations regarding any other recruiting strategies you would suggest we use.) At first we create a detailed list with all requirements we need for the job. There are different strategies to find suitable employees: * Internal candidates Unsuitable for us, because we need a permanent staff before we can promote someone. * Rehiring If we know somebody who did a good job and want to come back. It’s a win-win situation. * Recruiting...

...During an employee's post appraisal, review your findings about the employee with him. Let him know what his position is supposed to do for your business, and use your collected data to explain to him whether or not he fulfilled expectations for the position.

...Although small companies may not need to have specific training programs, in order to grow and maintain consistency within a business, more concrete programs need to be put in place. Carter Cleaning Company should update their orientation program, identification of tasks performed by employees and use specific training techniques to accomplish their goal of growing their business and maintaining consistent employee results. To standardize employee behavior and performance, and have the ability to measure an employee's success in these areas, there must be rules and guidelines to follow. The purpose of this paper is to explain specifically what Carter Cleaning Company should cover in their new employee orientation program, explain why a job instruction sheet will help their counter person in the performance of their job, and describe specific training techniques the company should use to train pressers, cleaners/spotters, managers and counter people. The purpose for these changes is to increase employer and customer retention as well as standardize all aspects of the different jobs when they begin to expand to more cleaning sites. The Carters have progressed from a small company whose policies and procedures were scattered and unfocussed to a company who now needs to implement more formal orientation, training policies, and procedures to ensure job consistency and employee and customer retention. Dessler (2013) gives a brief synopsis of some of the difficulties encountered...

...should the Carters cover in their new employee orientation program and how should they convey this information? Employee orientation is done so that the new employees can be informed of everything they need to function and also it should help the employees get emotionally attached to the firm. Orientation content: * Information on employee benefits * Working Hours * Vacations * Supervisory reporting relationship * Familiarizing employee with colleagues and workplace * Personnel policies * The daily routine * Company organization and operations * Safety measures and regulations * Facilities tour This information can be conveyed through various mediums. One way is through an employee handbook. This would state the company policies, benefits, and regulations. It is the expectations from the employee and also from the company. It should also contain the employee’s rights. It states the general employment information. Another way they can convey the information is through orientation technology. They can take advantage of the web and have all their information placed online so that the employee can easily access the information and learn about the company. They can also use videos and lectures and different exercises to inform the employees on different aspects of the company. 2. In the HR management course Jennifer took, the book suggested using a job instruction sheet to identify tasks performed by an employee. Should the Carter Cleaning...

...1. What do you think of the way Chapman handled the accusations from Peters and his conversation with Anderson? How would you have handled them? I don't think Mr. Chapman handled the situation properly. I think that Mr chapman should have went to HR and ask them to investigate the accusations that Mr Peters brought to him.When investigating allegations of sexual harassment, EEOC looks at the whole record: the circumstances, such as the nature of the sexual advances, and the context in which the alleged incidents occurred. A determination on the allegations is made from the facts on a case-by-case basis. Then bring Ms Anderson in the office with a female from HR dept and discussed her behavior. Let her know that her behavior would not be tolerated and that there was laws that to protect people against sexual harrassment.. 2. Do you think Peters had the basis for a sexual harassment claim against Anderson? Yes, because Ms Anderson had " developed an unwholesome personal attraction" to Mr peters, not only at work but at his residence too. Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person’s sex. Harassment can include "sexual harassment" or unwelcome sexual advances...

...Days listed above are holidays that the company will pay off to all employee who has been actively working at Carter Cleaning Centers for at least 6 months. Submission of time off for vacation should be one month in advance before employee vacation starts so that it can give management time to find another person to cover that person position. The reason being for this “sick leave policy” is because we don't want employees to abuse their sick days to take off working days without notice. Unlike vacation POT policy, they are letting management know a month in advance to find other people to cover that position. Whereas sick leave policy may let employees take days off but will cause the work flow to slow down with an absences of a worker....
