I work at a waterfront restaurant with a fine dining atmosphere. The observable aspects of organizational diversity, communication flow, dress and appearance, conflict management, and organizational policies are different than most organizations. Organizational culture can be defined as the system of shared actions, values, and beliefs that develops within an organization and guides the behavior of its members (Schermerhorn, Hunt, & Osborn, 2003). My current organization uses standards, rules, and
The first site I visited was at lounge/bar in New York City. My sister came down from Connecticut, and she wanted to hang out before she had to go to her medical mission trip to Dominican Republic. We decided to go this lounge/bar place in New York City. The atmosphere was inviting and energetic. There were people, both male and female, dancing on the dance floor and there were others either relaxing by the lounge area or at the bar. As I was looking around the environment and enjoying the aurora
A client that I am currently working with recently lost his job at a local factory. First the client reported that he had quit his job due to his supervisor harassing him each day. A few days later the client was confronted by the CASA assigned to his children at a CFTM regarding the circumstances leading to the state of unemployment. The CASA stated that she had spoken with the previous employer and was informed that the client did not quit his job rather he was terminated due to poor attendance
What can you learn from your working millennial children – Being a father and watching from a far as my children navigate their professional career. I am learning new ways to take on today’s work challenges as well as being rejuvenated by their passion to be the best, the drive to make something of themselves and their service to their country. Our oldest is a Marine Corps Officer and watching him realize his dream as he navigated the Officer Candidate School selection process, followed by the 12
In the workplace there are many different aspects of the organization. Some of the aspects or 'culture' of an organization are organizational diversity, dress and language, how communication flows, and organizational policies. Below I will discuss several aspects of the company I work for and define what the different cultures are. How Communication Flows As we know today there are many ways how to communicate. There is email, verbal, Internet, intranet, etc? However, there is only two ways
What a morning, I've been cleaning things that have been in storage since 2013. Bob and I started unpacking from the shed again this past weekend, fortunately the rain has ceased, and the temperatures are continuing to increase, it is a whopping 81 degrees outside! ChaCha and I went to Home Depot this morning, my goal is to get her out in the community daily, practice obedience commands (I would like to get her CGC tested prior to departing, therapy dog tested too if time permits) and general socialization

In the morning I plan to walk thirty minutes before getting ready for work. When I arrive to work, I will park further away from the door, so I have to walk a longer distance. Instead of taking the elevator, I will walk up two flights of stairs. Once I get to work, I will be sedentary until lunch time. Around twelve I will leave for lunch. Again, I will walk down the stairs instead of using the elevator. Since I parked far from the main door, I will have a slight walk to my car. Once I return from
employees respect their job. Language had never been a real big problem to have to censor in the jobs that I have had. I think as an adult working in a professional setting you know what to say when you can say and where you can say it. Casual dress, a workplace perk acceptable throughout corporate America, is not altogether as common in other parts of the world. . (Tatiana D. Helenius) Sloppiness in dress not only makes a bad impression, but it may cause others to question business credentials or reliability
Apprehension in the Workforce Struggling with anxiety is an internal conflict that has consumed most of my everyday life. Miniscule tasks such as attending social events, meeting new people, or speaking aloud in an uncomfortable environment have become my biggest fears. Several days were devoted to agonizing panic attacks and an abundance of overthinking. As a result of these recurring outbursts, I postponed the opportunity of searching for a job for an entire year. A few months before I turned
Restaurants and other eateries are ubiquitous in American society. However, the workplace routines and behaviors of individuals who perform the critical functions of preparing, serving, and cleaning up meals are often invisible to diners. This divide is particularly palpable in collegiate, corporate, or other fast paced settings where diners enter with the expectation of expediency and convenience. For my ethnography, I chose to observe and illuminate the interactions between food service workers
Working in a professional environment for the last ten years, I’ve been given the opportunity to witness how my co-workers communicate in the workplace.

Communication is defined as “the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings etc. to someone.” Everything is taken into account when communicating this is
My observation and interview of the position of a security monitor for the organization veterans on the rise provided me with extensive information on the duties and responsibilities of this job. The Job of a security monitor for an organization like veterans on the rise requires knowledge of modern computer technology, the ability to communicate effectively to the residents and staff, and the skills to monitor the proper function of the program and the safety of the veterans.

many issues that she must deal with. Manager A has more of a passive aggressive way to solve problems and has a two-faced demeanor. He will tell the person who is complaining what they want to hear. This results in him having blind spots in the workplace because he is unable to confront the real problems and has a passive aggressive leadership. I have learned that even if the conversation is difficult, it will be much more beneficial in the end to be upfront with everyone and tell it how it is. I

Workers express why and how they become desensitized through strict policy, regulation, and the specialized emotional stance necessary to interact with these prisoners. Acting as servants for the lives of some bad apples, observing civilized men be reduced to the natural man, and acting in adherence to authority with little voice heard by superiors, this work requires a specialized emotional stance. You've got to have a little compassion, but you cannot become involved. Officers must also be aware

Majority of the items that have are used at this childcare center has been donated from its local community. The childcare center is available to the Oakland County community. They service children who have been subjected to poverty and abuse. This organization also provide help to their parents by providing shelter. During my
Working at the same organization for the past 26 years, I have experienced new leadership and new employees and many reorganization plans. It has been an amazing advantage to witness a new evolution of a changing environment and how it has impacted the organization’s culture in different ways of communication, a new generation of people entering the workforce, and changes in procedures in employment strategies. Throughout my years of employment, the college has experienced a dramatic impact on
