Describing where you work
People were asked to describe where they worked and where the facilities are in their workplace as well as what they liked / dislike about their workplace.
reviewing data
We reviewed the three companies on page 39 of the textbook and made a chart – often this is a good strategy when you have to make decision is to look at the pros and cons – this can be done on the back of an envelope
Here is our group chart:
company | pros | cons | |
---|---|---|---|
Media International | – lots of training – development opportunities for staff |
– lots of control | |
Interchange | – healthcare – good work/life balance – flexible working |
– | |
MHB Group Ltd | – good for disabilities – good for integration and training – seven percent of the staff are registered with disabilities |
– |
What did we noticed from this:
- only one company has a negative item – so we could eliminate it from contention
- there may be several points but they might be interconnected like MHB Group Ltd
We therefore selected Interchange from the information we were presented as our “Employer of the Year”
