The company brought in new executives to try and come up with a plan to save the company from its decline. The senior leadership team came up with a strategic plan to compete with the telephone and cable companies. They obtained approval to implement the plan, but not without problems. The senior leadership team did not consult or divulge any of their plans to the union representative or the employees prior to their approval.

The greatest opportunity for improvements is changes in the human resources department.

Excessive turnover and absenteeism normally will result in the organization paying additional cost to recruit and train new employees which can and normally will impact the company bottom-line. The problem with many companies today is the inability to recognize that job satisfaction is directly related to their bottom-line and therefore, do not place job satisfaction as one of its urgent administrative priority. This issue is based on organizational failure to recognize the substantial advantages an organization could realize by making an effort to influencing employees’ outlook. When an organization has content employees, they are more inclined to be productive and committed to work and their employers. It is imperative that organizations establish a work environment that entice, inspire and retain the best people which in turn will be beneficial for organization.
