I do feel that many companies could inspire Patagonia's level of loyalty by employees by providing work environments with similar benefits. Today’s companies should encourage social responsibility. Fellow organizations could profit from enhancing employee benefits and assisting in a healthy life to work balance.…
Since employees who grew up in retail they lack of potential to be consultants and mentally being a sort of “clerk” kind, therefore it would be hard for company to change their minds. By using SWOT analysis, I found out strengths of this company was the core idea that they are not just selling cloths but also understanding people, both your teammates and your customers. The weakness was not every employee understand this idea and treat customers the company wishes. Opportunities were their minds would be change after intensive training. Threat would be company spent extra resources on training.…
Genentech and Zappos use employee benefits as a motivating tool to keep and maintain their employees. Genentech offers benefits such as retirement and health care, family friendly perks like unlimited sick leave, personal concierge service, flexible work scheduling, child care, nursing mothers rooms to nurse in, they have onsite nurses, adoption assistance, company sponsored family events, pet insurance, free snacks, and paid six week sabbaticals every six years, as well as simply treating their employees with respect (DeCenzo & Robbins, 2009). Genentech goes above and beyond to give their employees incredible benefits, and with that being said, the benefits they receive definitely are enough incentive to keep employees motivated. Zappos on the other hand, provides benefits such as having pajama parties, nap rooms, regular happy hours, and a full time life coach (DeCenzo & Robbins, 2009). Apparently the benefits that both of these organizations’ is working because both organizations have low turnover rates, as well as high employee ratings for satisfaction. Providing these types of employee benefits keeps employees happy, and makes them want to stay within the organization, as well as be the best they can be at the job they’re entitled to do. Especially considering the fact that both of these employers go above and beyond what is even required for them by law to provide. The main key is to make sure employees are happy with their employer, and that they enjoy going to their work every day. Little incentives such as having pajama parties, or onsite lunches are just as important as big incentives like health insurance and paid vacation…
As stated earlier, Costco has a high employee retention rate, in part because the employees feel empowered. Costco’s employee pay is among the highest among discount retailers and your company offers one of the best health insurance plans available. This has led to a workforce that is productive and loyal. Also, it is in contrast to the old workplace where jobs were less stable and employees had no say-so pertaining to company functions.…

“Trader Joe's compensate workers well. The core of this allegiance is a wage and benefits package that is typically far more competitive than that of most companies in the supermarket industry. Wages may attract high-quality employees, but wages are not necessarily the reason they remain loyal, as any human resources expert can attest. Employees stay because Trader Joe’s has created a culture of success: an environment in which everyone does the same job at one time or another and a place where people’s opinions are respected and talents are nurtured. “(Excerpted from Trader Joe’s Adventure, by Len Lewis)…
Is Anguillo’s claim legitimate? The simple answer is ‘yes’, ‘no’ and ‘maybe’. The variables and individualistic nature of organisations, their culture, structural framework and commitment formulates the correct answer.…
Patagonia’s philosophy is simple; do no harm, build the best product and implement business to inspire solutions to environmental products. Patagonia implements their philosophy with ease, they change their products without thought to what the consumer may want but what is best for the Earth.

They have successfully built their company upon being green and do so without greenwashing, but with action and design.…

What appeals to me this work environment is the company empowers their workers to grow and flourish, which in turn, gives a sense of trust and creates camarade within a group of workers. What I have learned through my years of working in a professional environment, employees do not leave because of pay, they leave because of…
Maslow’s hierarchy consists of five basic needs, self-actualization, esteem, social, safety, and physiological. Patagonia culture meets many standards promising that their products are produced under safe, fair, legal, and humane working conditions throughout the supply chain (Patagonia, 2014). Patagonia offers all of the needs of Maslow’s theory, making employees comfortable at their job; This Company cares about their employees offering childcare, organic meals, recreational activities, and more. Working at Patagonia would be a great place, where the company encourages celebrations and activities to boost the employee’s moral. Patagonia is known for having loyal employees because of how the managers treat them having communication deadlines, expectations, and including employees in figuring out the best way to meet needs. I believe that this work environment is successful because of how it is managed and the way the employees are treated.…
It is imperative to analyze the different work backgrounds that some of our team members have experienced in order to find some similarities with Accenture. One team member is currently working in a small air conditioning business with less than 50 employees. According to U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA.gov), small businesses employ more than 50% of employees in the United States. The company does not have a formal HR department like many of the large organizations (23). The duties of HR, like staffing, rewards, payroll, talent management, and employee retention/labor relations are done by upper management and designated secretaries. Similar to Accenture, the company has professional consultants and support staff. In addition, they have a mentoring program and orientation for new employees where they are shown the “way of the company”. This is similar to that of Accenture’s “new joiner orientation” program for new employees. In the “way of the company” they are shown responsibilities, procedures, and policies which are very helpful in developing a good relationship with the new employee. In some part, this has worked with the first-year turnover retention levels at the company (170). The company has seen low turnover rates. There are even some employees that have worked there since the early 90’s. Most of the turnovers are employees leaving by choice or “voluntary turnover” (160).The unwritten psychological contract implies that the employer is a family type work environment with good management. The team member describes the people working there as nice and outgoing individuals that make coming to work a joy rather than a drag. They genuinely try to help each other without being bureaucratic. In addition, management is…
