Summary Form
Please compare and contrast the three types of policies you've experienced based on the potential social, political and ethical issues involved. Does one policy fit all companies or are there some companies where one policy makes more sense than others and why? Does company size matter and why? Does the employee job role matter and why?
All three policy are different and companies are different. Just because one policy fits one company does not mean the other policies would benefit that company. Companies are unique and require different tasks and tools to be productive. I do not think the passive monitoring policy would benefit any company. It would only allow employees to have access to all information, download viruses, and be less productive at work. Yes the company size does matter. In large companies there are multiple

    I believe that they should monitor employee email and internet usage. By allowing the company to monitor such actions it will stop individuals wasting valuable company time. This also allows for restrictions of site access if one is exploring sites they should not be. It is important to watch to be sure that important information about the company is not leaked out to the public. Actions of their employees effect company whether online or not online. Although, the internet makes it easier to incidentally bring hardship to company in which one works the actions can cause lawsuits against the company.…

    Discrimination is a rising concern among employees in each organization environment. The theories both support the need for antidiscrimination laws and policies. The theories support the laws and policies by protecting employees and also help to support regulations and rules of administration of the business. Without the laws and policies in place with the support of the theories, then discrimination would be an issue for many applicants in the workforce.…

    Discuss your comments on the policy 's completeness based on the information you have reviewed.

    I am a part of the management team of a rapidly growing, privately-held apparel company. Over the last year, we have generated $80 million in sales and for the next year, we have projected sales of $150 million. Our operations are entirely based in the U.S., which is a strange occurrence due to the fact that most apparel companies outsource almost all of their manufacturing to foreign countries because the manual labour is much cheaper and more affordable. The rapid growth in our company is largely due to our niche target market. Overall this niche target contributed towards flexible and rapid operations. Another differentiating factor that separates us from the common apparel company is our employee policies. The company philosophy that we have enforced since our inception has been to treat all our employees with fair labor practices and to be as profitable as we can without exploiting the nature of employee policies. This fundamental rule has earned us a positive reputation in the eyes of media and the good-spirit of corporate responsibility.…

    In times like today a company needs to know what is going on within itself. This means that having access to computers, email, mobile devices along with monitoring systems in the work place. Some of my fellow classmates to not agree with some of the practices but per our reading in Workplace Privacy it stays that “Under the “ordinary course of business” exemption, for example, employers may monitor email communications if the employer can show a legitimate business purpose for doing so” (Friedman, Reed, 2007). If employees know that they are being closely watched it decreases the chances of them not working or cheating the company.…
