Workforce efficiency plan

With the technological environment, many organizations find themselves unable to achieve their goals due to ineffective workforce management. According to Schrikant and Grasman (2011), for a company to achieve its mission and objectives, it must have the correct or appropriate human resource. With many jobs increasingly becoming digitalized, certain careers are becoming of no use in the company. This requires the company to downsize, retain, and retrain to maintain a competitive edge and meet stakeholder and consumer expectations.

Most of the modern-day scholars claim that bureaucracy is a very inefficient phenomenon. Despite this, there are many bureaucratic organizations in the universe; the United Parcel Service is an example. Max weber, the founder of the concept of bureaucracy, believed that, a bureaucratic form of government was the most superior compared to the rest. It is said that most bureaucratic organizations shows their superiority through the immanent rationality. The problem arises due to the use of the term, rationality, because it is impossible to comfortably agree with Weber that rationality meant efficiency. The United Parcel Service works to ensure that they ...

Efficiency-wage theory states that the productivity of workers has a lot positive dependence on their wages. In a way, it explains the structural unemployment that is, to balance the supply and demand of labor, wages are set above the equilibrium wage. Labor union and other laws and regulations such as minimum-wage laws, also contributes to this phenomenon, and it also set on purpose to increase worker’s productivity. But this does not balance out the business cycle; the market does not clear and hence resulting into involuntary unemployment. There are several models that constitute this theory and explain its effect on ...

As the price of oil and its derivatives fluctuate and reserves of easily accessible sweet crude decline, the cost of energy consumption has increased. Conversely, world energy consumption increased over 49% between 1984 and 2004 [1]. Based on calculations of extraction costs and energy needs, it is clear that fossil fuels are an unsustainable source of energy and as a result, there has been increasing interest in finding alternative methods of energy generation and reducing current use. This interest has been exacerbated due to the negative environmental impact of burning fossil fuels. Buildings are an enormous part of overall energy ...
