Working at Buckle definitely has its pros and cons, everyone at Buckle always has a smile on their face no matter what is happening or what the day brings for everyone. When everyone gets to work either in the morning shift or the evening shift we also have a meeting about the day and what sections everyone is in for the day. The store is split up in four sections; girls back, girls front, guys back, and guy front. There about five us working the each shift including the manger. All of us has a sale goal for each day, we all should make at least $145 by end of the day to hit our commission sale. Anyhow, there are many problems at Buckle that will need to be fixed sooner than later. I will describe the work place environment at Buckle eventful. In order to improve the work the work place environment Buckle should, get new uniforms, communication with the boss, and make the work environment more comfortable at work The first problem that Buckle has is that uniforms. The uniforms aren’t the same from person to person and not seasonal outfits either. We get to wear what we want, without a name tag which is highly unprofessional. For example, in winter we need a nice pair of jeans, a causal shirt, and nice pair of dress shoes for the summer and the winter. For the summer we need a nice causal tank top, nice skirt, and …show more content…
The main for communication at work when you are talking to the manger about a problem is respect him/her when you are trying to explain yourself. Never jump to conclusions and get offensive when you are getting in trouble and will be guilty at the end. Secondly, seek the first understanding when a situation flares up at work. Communicate with the boss when you have schedule conflict or you need to call in for any reason. Communication is the main key for every job, to build trust with the people you work with and the
Being employed as a purchasing clerk and a sales support at the Furniture Outlet has given me the opportunity to fully understand how the presence of certain reward compromise or programs helps to form a viable workplace for both an employer and an employee and also the organization as a whole. Given the tasks and expectations that are to be achieved as a purchasing clerk, I often find myself thinking about how the work is to be done and in what ways can it be done suffic...
Another issue that stood throughout the work environment was Dale. Dale was very preserving he literally abused his power just so he can reach those numbers head office wanted from him. He only cared about performance not about his employees. He always had this one saying to his employees “you can either make money or go home”. All Dale actually cared about was making money so he can score big bonuses. Dale surely wanted to assemble to his employees selling patties is their number one priority if you want to continue working at Patty’s. Dale also loved to pick on Emma for the smallest odds and ends. Examples not smiling while working the drive thru, or not making specific drive thru times. Also there was one situation when Emma experienced sexual harassment and verbal abuse while waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up. These reasons defiantly woke her up to obtain a union at Patty’s before these conditions get wors...
Such loyalty and productivity among the employees was brought about by the way Southwest’s management treats them. As they say, the employees are willing to work hard for the company because they feel appreciated by the top management. Southwest maintains good employee relations because what they believe in is that if employees are happy, satisfied, dedicated, and energetic, they'll take real good care of the customers.
I noticed that there were a few employees who just stood there doing nothing and having a lot of small talk. I think they should do that less and start greeting and helping customers out more. Maybe they could organize clothes or sweep the floors rather than just doing nothing. Although Lily looked very sophisticated and professional, some employees looked like they just woke up and went to work. Employees should look more appropriate especially out in public. And lastly, when I went to the clothing section of Nordstrom, some clothes were unorganized and not folded. This should be fixed as it would make the store look more clean and organized.
Dawn Prescott was a chaperone on her son’s high school band competition. They were returning when the bus got into an accident. Prescott 55, recalls that she had to grab onto the luggage rack to keep from falling. “Kids were screaming and hurt and in tangled heaps that I stepped over. All I could think of was getting to my son. But when I finally did, I found he was unconscious.” She said. In the end, Prescott’s son, Benjamin, two other students, and a parent died as a result, along with twenty-six passengers injured. Seatbelts should be mandatory on all school buses due to safety reasons
According to Brandi Reid, a store associate who has worked at Kohl's for three years has mentioned her previous experience in starting off at Kohl's. During her first year employed at Kohl's, she found it challenging despite of how the layout of the store is and knowing where to located the departments the store has. However, when she started to gain knowledge of the stores' layout, she found to be a enjoyable experience to be helping out the customers and setting out merchandise on the
The undergraduates will not have to worry about wearing an ‘unattractive’ outfit. Parents and their children will not have to worry about the prices of clothing or buying as much, because they will already be wearing a pre-set outfit. Buying a set outfit that the school mandates mean that it will be much cheaper than normal outfits that students would normally buy. One student would not have a special treatment form faculty or friends because of the clothes they wear, because they are all the same
Throughout humankind, communication has been used from sending firer signals to the pony express; communication is a very important part of our world today. Team Leader and member should always know their audience. Managers have all the tools necessaries to get their message across from meeting, email, office bulletin board, using FedEx. No matter how they chose to get the message across effective communication is important.
In conclusion, I read several reviews provided on the InDeed.com job research website. Many of the reviews were positive that contained honest feedback in how they felt about their job and the values/culture created at their particular store. Culture is created in how we work with the ethics provided at our positions. If successful, it emulates throughout the entire workforce. There is bound to be a few “bad eggs”, but that is pretty typical, as we do not live in a perfect world.
A newly added employee is not given specific direction of where to go and what to do. Instead the Gore Company promotes creative thinking and the employee places himself where he thinks he needs to be. If you do not have imagination about your job then you might be sitting at a desk for a month wondering what in the world you should be doing. Sometimes employees cannot understand this and must leave the company.
The fourth communication strategy is Knowledge. Before presenting anything to employees a leader should try to learn as much as they can about the tasks. Working knowledge of the tasks at hand will help in making decisions and solving problems. It will translate into how the information is presented and thoroughly explained. This should further build confidence in employees to know they have a capable person leading who can be of some help if they need it. My area manager has done field work but not exactly what most of her employees do. This does effect communication because we often describe things to her that she does not know about and has to ask others for answers. Having a manager that actually does your job or has been in your shoes
A manager needs to be in constant communication with his staff. The lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings and dissatisfied employees. “Communication is the single most important skill of any manager.” (About.com) I believe this is statement from about.com is absolutely right. In order to lead, a leader must communicate his orders to his followers.
The first skill for managers to understand and practice is communications, because it is the foundation for all actions in the workplace and it allows the supervisor or manager an opportunity to build relationships with the overall workgroup without alienating anyone in the work environment (Roper, 2005). As a manager it is very important to be able to communicate effectively. As Robert Kent, former dean of Harvard Business School has said, “In business, communication is everything” (Blalock, 2005). The Wisconsin Business School Alumni Association recently reported that managers spend 75 percent to 80 percent of their time communicating (Blalock, 2005). Communication skills are critical for success in an organization. Successful managers communicate to where their targeted audience understands (Froschheiser, 2010). Managers need to give positive and negative feedback to their employees to let them know their strengths and weaknesses and where they n...
Being in a position of management, it is your responsibility to ensure that your team of associates are well informed on what they need to accomplish. With poor communication, there may be a lack of understanding of what is expected. This creates a domino effect in which every step down the way is performed. Beyond the consistency of strong work production, the morale in the workplace may be affected. It can be disheartening to an individual to put so much effort into what they are being paid to do just to find out that because of poor communication their work may have all been for nothing. Being a good leader doesn’t only require that you have the ability to communicate, but to be able to listen. Taking in the information and comprehending it is the first step to conveying what you are looking to accomplish. Getting to the point with people immediately with a task at hand can prevent the inability to finish any given responsibility in a timely manner. Sometimes change in the workplace can bring out a side in someone that you wouldn’t normally face with a normal interaction. People become comfortable with how things go on a day to day basis. When changes in management occur or policies change after a longer period of time, the most loyal of employees can take an offense to a change and have it not sit well with them. This ties in to not only being able to effectively
As in all aspects of personal and professional life, having effective communication is a key element of success. Effective communication can benefit your relationships with people. By conveying your message and integrating them as a member of the team and not just a subordinate leads to better production. By effectively communicating you can clearly define job responsibilities and expectations. The better you are able to communicate the less likely organizational turnover of personnel will occur. Supervisors and leaders in the professional workplace find that the most important factor in advancement and retain ability is effective communication. Senior level executives and human resources managers are stressing the importance of communication and providing more training for mid-level management. Emphasis is placed on communication being clear by being transmitted strongly.
