A minimum pay of $70k for all employees sounds too good to be true. I found it interesting that just with 20% raises each year, profits went up. Maybe happy employees do make for a better company!

They can't manage the organization, the people and they always seem to struggle with change to better the business. This is a great show to display how crucial good managers are, and how the bad managers can bring the whole company down.

Diversity is race, gender, religion, age and abilities. Diversity in the workplace creates a more balanced team with everyone feeding off of one another. We can all learn from each other! Module 2]]> 2016-10-26 18:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/133443638 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/136212840 A huge company doing something good.

I was surprised to see Colgate-Palmolive and Lego! Disney was there, as expected, but a lot of car manufacturers as well. ]]> 2016-11-08 19:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/136213909 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/136218385 While it is a non-profit, and it went global more by accident, this shows how you can get an idea to go globally viral. ]]> 2016-11-08 19:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/136218385 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/141867622 I like how this list is generated not only by looking at environmental sustainability, but also gender equality and pay equality!]]> 2016-12-05 19:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/141867622 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/141868685 Over 300K companies do business abroad and there is actually a governmental department to help you tackle and navigate your way through!]]> 2016-12-05 19:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/141868685 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/141869975 This cartoon made me laugh. You can over plan something so much so, that you can't even arrive at the event. Sometimes, if planning is too extensive, you can't even be present - be aware - at the event you planned.

Personal planning is difficult for me because things are always changing. Corporate planning, one would think, would be easier and more set in stone. I think it is in everyone's best interest to be flexible in planning and have contingency plans.

I think they have a great business model in keeping not only the customers, but also the employees happy. They also are sticking to slow expansion to ensure a quality product. I think this is a great organization and one it's employees are proud to work for!]]> 2016-12-05 20:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/141872006 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/141872912 I found this interesting and hadn't thought of negotiating as an HR skill, but it really is!]]> 2016-12-05 20:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/141872912 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/141874236 I enjoyed learning about the head hunters and the recruitment process. I thought this cartoon was relevant. You want someone super smart, but you are going to underpay them. Good luck finding that!

This article covers so many of the topics we have been studying. First, the selection of the Carl's Jr. executive to lead labor brings to question the judgement of this man. Can the executive of the company that so blatantly sexualizes women be in charge of the labor division of the company? Then, we can discuss globalization and the loss of our manufacturing jobs. While Trump did manage to retain some jobs at Carrier, still a great majority of them are being replaced with technology in that Indiana plant. The article also discusses Ivanka Trumps role in being a women's advocate as well as a climate change advocate. And finally, in the human resources department, Trump wants to hire a man to lead the EPA who is currently suing the EPA. Seems like perhaps there would have been a better choice for the job. Perhaps Mr. Trump should look to a head hunting company...]]> 2016-12-08 20:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142677197 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142678502 I currently work for the Greater Nassau Co Chamber. I am the only employee, and we are run by a Board of ten members. I have little contact with the members of the Board because all but one have full time jobs. I have a severe lack of communication with the managing members. It makes it difficult to complete tasks that I have never done before. I wish there were better lines of communication here! ]]> 2016-12-08 20:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142678502 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142679266 As the new Executive Director with the Chamber of Commerce, I, along with other volunteers, managed to pull together a fantastic Christmas parade! It took a lot of organization and team work to pull off this major event. This event is a staple in the Callahan community. The streets are lined up with kids and everyone has a great time. Around 85 parade entries and another 50 vendors selling arts and crafts! I was an important part to pulling it all together. I am thankful I got to be involved with something so important to the community. n]]> 2016-12-08 20:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142679266 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142680732 I think this is probably the biggest challenge to quality control - the need to get the product out quicker. ]]> 2016-12-08 20:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142680732 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142681135 I think of all of the class action settlements that I've been mailed or emailed. How many companies make mistakes and then have to do these settlements to solve them. A little planning in the quality control department would probably prevent a lot of these settlements. ]]> 2016-12-08 20:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142681135 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142681569 Another show I have enjoyed watching that does actually teach you things. In this show, you see lack of good management and leadership. Usually the team has low moral. Quality control is many times over looked and the management/owners struggle to control their businesses. Gordon Ramsay comes in to turn it all around. In watching some of his revisited shows, he seems to get most of them going in the right direction - enough so, that in a year they are still open for business. ]]> 2016-12-08 20:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142681569 lewis_robinr https://padlet.com/lewis_robinr/dgb456q5xf2x/wish/142682998 This graphic says it all. You need all of these traits to be a good leader.
