...that 95% of job seekers use corporate websites before deciding whether to apply for a job. The questionnaire is part of research to rank the online employer branding of the 100 best global brands. Milan, 4 August 2010 – Attracting and retaining the best talent, the core scope of employer branding, has always been one of the main preoccupations of managers operating in boom times as well as in what has been called the Great Recession. Employer branding used to be exclusively an offline activity practiced in many ways including through job fairs, advertising, marketing and internal newsletters. Companies are still passing on the same type of information to current and prospective employees only now they are increasingly doing it through their website. Employer branding is a company’s pitch to current and prospective employees. It is the company’s bid to show why it is a desirable place to work. Good online employer branding is a key step in the drive to getting and keeping top employees, but how should companies confront the process? Job seekers are using the internet, that we know, but how much and what are they looking for? In this age of social networks and job sites that aggregate employment announcements how much does the corporate website matter?

...COST ANALYSIS ON A SMALL BUSINESS START-UP IN CHINA (B) List the major management decisions that Sindy made. Explain what effects these decisions have on the financial performance of Easy Business. Based on the case, our group managed to identify a few of management decisions that Sindy made and what are the effects of those decisions to the financial performance of Easy Business Company Limited: 1. Recruiting job focus only on blue collar and junior staff positions (low level positions) When Sindy first started her business, she decided to focus only on low level position market segmentation as she felt that there was a greater hiring need and market for front line operators. This is a good management decision taken by Sindy because she knew that as a new hiring agency in the job hiring industry, is was not easy for her to compete with other well-established hiring agency. Thus, it was easy for her by focus on low level positions where most of hiring agency are not interested with because it may seems unprofitable and not aligned with their reputation of well-known hiring agencies. As a result, Sindy faced with minimum competition in the market. In addition, the fact that most of Sindy clients were supermarkets and food courts which consistently searching for people for various low level positions such as shop assistants, cashiers and others also benefited her as she able to have fifteen positions per week to be advertise, and that was three times higher than the...

...La vaca One of the things that impact me the most when i was reading this book was describing me in some aspects of my life. I have always lived with some thoughts that have limited my life in certain way. As the book said, the mediocrity and conformism always give us the bad idea that we cannot be better than we are now. And in some cases we have to face some rude situation, like the family of the book that lost the cow, to reorganize our thoughts and ideas in order to be different and reach different goals The book said that the limitations are created by ourselves, and that is totally true, and I speak by myself. At the time I read this quote I was imagine myself nowadays in the university, the way I suffer every time that I have to make a presentation in front of my classmates, it is so hard, but now after I read this I realized that it is a vaca that I was feeding since I was a kid and I have to take the decision to kill it One aspect that I want to take into account and also to add to this great book is the felling to be less than others. It is a big cow in my life and this book showed the way how to overcome it. I always had the feeling that everyone around me is better than me at the time to speak in English, I can imagine all the words and phrases in my mind, but at the time that I have to speak and my classmates stare at me I panic and I start to think that I am not good enough to do what I have to do; I remember a lot of opportunities that I lost because of my fear...

...the abilities and limitations of businesses entities, the Commerce Clause and the Supremacy Clause have the largest effects. The commerce clause gives the federal government broad power to regulate inter-state commerce and intrastate commerce. The Supremacy Clause allows the federal government to trump state-level statutes if the federal law is constitutionally sound. This means that the federal government can make and enforce most of the standards and practices that American companies must follow. This paper will take a look at the function and role of law in business today. This paper will look at my present job, and the role of law and how it applies to my job. Function and Role of Law in Business The role of the law is to act as guidelines for how people are supposed to behave in a society. Laws have just as big of a role in the business world as they do in society. Laws instruct each business of how they must act in certain situations, they monitor fair wages, fair hiring practices, proper reporting of earnings, and hold businesses accountable for mistakes. The law has many different functions, in both society and business. One main function is resolve disputes between two opposing parties. One of the main methods of solving disputes is litigation. Litigation is thought of as a trial; however, it has many stages that come before the actual trial. The multiple stages of litigation are Pre-lawsuit, Pleadings, Motions, Discovery,...

...for the job opportunity in question, and suggest two (2) ways that each method helps one to avoid discriminatory practices. Justify your response. Three different recruitment methods that will be utilized for this job opening are internet job postings, campus recruitment, and job fairs. The human resources (HR) department will post the job announcement on various websites in order to capture the broadest audience to eliminate discrimination in the recruiting process. Another way HR aims to prevent discrimination while using internet job postings is to post only on websites that offer free membership to everyone and do not charge fees to access job postings. Campus recruitment will be open to current undergraduate and graduate level students and alumni as well. Campus recruiting will offer up a diverse talent pool, as recruiting will be done at a carefully selected group of schools known for diverse student bodies. By opening up the job to both levels of college degrees and including alumni as well, we are avoiding the appearance of attempting to discriminate against older candidates. Recruiting efforts will take place at job fairs that are open to the public and this will prevent targeting one particular race or ethnicity. The applicants will be invited to apply (with special focus on encouraging women and minorities). MetroBank’s participation in the job fair will also be announced on recruiting websites and local newspapers to make the general public aware of the job opportunity...

...one of the suppliers of the big three AAM (American Axle &Manufacturing) the big three had an agreement with UAW to practice a fair days pay for a fair days work. Most of the time the workers didn’t want to follows those rules or they would put their own understanding on what they wanted or what was best for them. In order for the people to work and have fair representation we would need the UAW to help the workers understand what was going on when management was not being fair and letting us know of our rights as workers. They would help us understand and help us communicate our message that we wanted to get across. Being the only female job setter on my shift made it hard for me to talk with supervisors who were all men, I was always questioned on my decision making, one incident I was not trained on how to repair one particular machine and my supervisor was going to write me because I refused to work on the machine after it was said and done I had to call my committed person out in order for me not to get written up. Woman in the plant still gets the worst treatment because you still have men that don’t believe woman should be working in the plant or working at all. Even with some of the workers that were of a different culture did not like working with me because I am a woman and they would do things to try and make me look bad on the job. It was because I am a woman and then because I am a black woman. During my time at AAM I learned how to communicate with others...

...and their living conditions. In several organizations, inequality is experienced in many ways. The gaps range from the way remuneration is done, and the way promotions are offered to the way disciplinary actions are taken upon those who are involved in misconduct within the organization. Every employee enjoys a working environment where he or she is treated with fairness, dignity and respect. Through the provision of a favorable working environment, employees become motivated, and the result will be improved productivity and customer service. Therefore, a healthy working environment should be free from inequalities of any kind in the organization. The management of any organization has a huge role to play to ensure fair practices and conditions at work. This paper is going to outline the measures that can be taken by the management to ensure a working environment free of inequalities. The first thing the management of any organization can do to realize the fairness in the organization is to conduct equality trainings to all employees (Castaldo et al. 2009). All employees should be made aware of the justice issues related to resource allocation, performance appraisal, recruitment process and the process of promotion. On the other hand, training should be done to the employees to equip them with the knowledge of the equality policy of the organization and the meaning of the policy to them as employees (Castaldo et al. 2009). This is a move to make the employees aware of what is...

...Ethics and Moral Issues in Business BIS/216 September 14, 2011 Many businesses today have several issues to deal with on a daily. In this paper the subject to discuss is the differences between ethical and moral issues in business. Also discuss the differences on personal ethics and business ethics. Businesses have to be careful about dealing with the issues concerning moral and ethical dilemmas. Today’s businesses cannot afford any legal mishaps or wrong doings against the company. An ethical issue is the philosophical analysis of human morality and conduct. Moral issues are potential issues that help or harm anyone. The differences between these two issues are ethical deals with codified standards of behavior in a company, and a moral issue deals with actions right and fair. The website cfagbata.com said “companies are now realizing the importance of ethics in business that is crucial for them to succeed” (cfagbata, 2011, p. 1). Companies have to be very careful not to cross the lines between these two issues. The issues can cause confusion and disorder within the workplace if the business does not handle the issues properly. Personal ethics and business ethics are frequently foundation on the societies’ ideals and actions. The difference is one is personal dealing with that individual with the issue instead of the whole company itself. The business ethic is dealing with the company who issues or concerns became a problem within the workplace or environment...
