Information technology has drastically changed how employees communicate within and outside of the organization.
Hancock Manufacturing strives on being the most innovative company of the century offering information technology 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That is why Hancock’s technology is far ahead of the competition. If the main idea is to be professionally involved in a company that thrives on working with the most proficient use of technology, Hancock Manufacturing offers the best. The core for Riordan technology is networked computer systems, wireless capabilities, and knowledge management systems.

Diversity
Riordan Manufacturing employs 550 diverse personnel. The groups range from North American, African American, Asian, Hispanic, American Indian, and Caucasian. The age of Riordan employees varies from 18 to 62 with the majority in the 24 to 45 years of age range. The cultures that Riordan employs provides opportunities for advancement to all diverse groups around the world.
Riordan Manufacturing spans from Albany, Georgia to Pontiac, Michigan to San Jose, California to Hangzhou, China. In Pontiac, Michigan 98 0f 130 employees are African Americans and Caucasians, while 21 of 130 are Hispanics. There is an employee age group ranging from 18-19 years of age in 56 of 130 employees, which reflects an opportunity to excel at a young age. Only 12 of 130 employees ranged from 50 and up.
In Albany, Georgia the employee base decreases to 44, the majority continues to favor the African American and Caucasian race with 38 of 44 employees. The age group is close to even disbursement between ages 18-29, 30-39, and 40-49, each employing 15 personnel, with the exception of 13 for age 40-49. The Albany location opens up the opportunity to excel up through the middle aged society.
Riordan Manufacturing employs its members primarily through outside sources for entry level employment. The methods of recruitment include monster.com, newspaper ads, employee referrals, temporary agencies, and those attending engineering conferences. The different employment styles reflect the diverse groups that Riordan hires, which creates an atmosphere that anybody can earn a job at Riordan Manufacturing. Globalization
In order for Riordan Manufacturing to remain competitive, they must attain a larger market. This would include expanding into other countries. According to the Levin Institute (2014), “Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology.”
By offering products anywhere in the world it changes cultures, environments, politics, and economies all over the world. By globalizing, Riordan can offer consumers plastics products to any country to anywhere. This could be shipping water bottles to Africa for clean water or cooling fans for office personnel for people in China.
To make something like this possible, we at Riordan look to hire the best employees who want to help us expand in the international arena.
To remain ethical we will set up each country with one supervisor. It is his role to understand their countries laws and ethics. We have to ensure we do not break any laws or ruin international relationships because of actions. It will be the job of Human Resources to ensure all new hires are trained and fully understand laws and customers of each of our international clients. By ensuring we are properly trained and globalizing our product it will make Riordan Manufacturing a fierce competitor in today’s
market.
Ethics
At Riordan Manufacturing, Our reputation of high ethical practice has been established because of our strict adherence to the spirit and letter of all applicable laws within the country of operation. Our customers trust is dependent on ensuring that all employees follow the guidance of good judgment and integrity. We have established an employee handbook which gives guidance and a reference to our policies and practices. After all “Ethics is what you have a right to do and what is right to do”. Potter Stewart ("Brainyquote.com",2014).
