What actions or policies and practices should managers and companies implement to maintain or improve employee job satisfaction in the context of remote working?

/in /by

1. As you may have noticed, remote work or work at home (or school at home) has suddenly become much more frequent! This discussion forum is designed to get you to use what we know about the nature of job satisfaction to think about the possible effects of remote work on employee job satisfaction and ways to manage the new world of remote work.

Job Satisfaction is the emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job and job experiences. It is composed appraisals of 5 distinct facets of work. Job characteristics theory explains the factors that contribute to satisfaction with the work itself. Based on this understanding of job satisfaction, do you think working remotely will decrease employees’ levels of job satisfaction, on average? What actions or policies and practices should managers and companies implement to maintain or improve employee job satisfaction in the context of remote working?

 

2. Which of the five competitive forces that shape strategy has the greatest influence on your project company? Explain how?

The state of Kansas passed legislation in 2007 that allowed employers to select their employee pay method.  The legislation was known as the “paperless payroll law,” and many employers opted to give their employees paycards instead of cash, check, or direct deposit.

The state of Kansas passed legislation in 2007 that allowed employers to select their employee pay method.  The legislation was known as the “paperless payroll law,” and many employers opted to give their employees paycards instead of cash, check, or direct deposit.  This practice spread to many other states, including New York.  In 2017, the law was revoked because it made employers into de facto (in effect) financial institutions (like a bank).

What are the issues with this practice?  What are the benefits?

In reality, an HR professional or legal counsel may be available to help guide your decision; However, for the skills application, you are the final arbiter. After reading each situation, use Internet resources to research the legal implications of the question in order to answer the questions at the end of each situation.  Conclude with a statement highlighting what you learn from this assignment.

    Situation 2: Due to the closing of a wing, you have had to reassign several employees from the first shift to the second and third shifts. This reassignment was done per hospital policy and past practice. Emily Pearson told you she would not accept the transfer to second shift (3:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.) because she claimed to be protected under the ADA and the organization must accommodate her request. In discussions with you, she brought in a medical slip that indicated that she suffered from colitis (an intestinal disorder), tiredness, nausea, and diarrhea.

Your subject matter expert (SME) likely plays a role in the design and development of training. What role (if any) should the SME play in the implementation of the training? What factors might impact this role? Be sure to use at least two resources from the class.
