CASE DISCUSSION Wambui had been managing the budget department for Faida Bank. Because the work experience gained here was useful, much of the budget analysis work done in the department was performed by a group of management trainees. The trainees tended to be recent college graduates who were ambitious; they expected the budget work experience to be the pathway into the prestigious auditing department.

The department heads throughout Faida Bank who received the erroneous reports would complain directly to the trainee who…

EL Greco Corporation was expanding its operation in its construction business and trading activities. Most of the employees come from technically trained manpower due to the nature of the work. The management feels that they need to hire new and fresh executives to beef up the growing workforce. A non-technical executive in the person of Roger Enrique Gil was added to the working teams of managers. He was assigned as assistant to the President and Chief Executive Officer. The work of Mr. Enrique Gil covers the analysis of manpower programs and cost-related activities and gives advice to the president on some management aspects that are not generally handled by line managers. The appointment of Mr. Enrique Gil was not received well by older managers. They felt that an insider should have been placed instead as Assistant to the President. Mr. Enrique Gil had difficulty getting some important information from the managers, without the expressed orders from the President. Nevertheless, Mr.…

Rio Tinto is a mining and minerals company headquartered in London. The multibillion-dollar company employs over 98,000 people worldwide and operates in more than 60 different sites in over 50 countries. When the 2008 global recession hit it was clear that a reduction in workforce would be necessary for the company to survive, and 14,000 employees and contractors were let go. HR had been involved in the initial business discussions and understood that the reduction in force (RIF) was necessary. For the first time, Rio Tinto's HR used a coordinated approach globally. Previously, executives and HR directors in the individual business units would have all approached the downsizing differently. But this time with a common approach, the downsizing took place in an efficient, ethical, and sensitive manner, using regional severance policies and a comprehensive database and measurement tools to track the impact of the redirections. High-potential leaders and people with critical skills were…

A Unique Training Program at UPS Mark Colvard, a United Parcel Manager in San Ramon, California, recently faced a difficult decision. One of his drivers asked for 2 weeks off to help an ailing family member. But company rules said this driver wasn’t eligible. If Colvard went by the book, the driver would probably take the days off anyway and be fired. On the other hand, Colvard chose to give the driver time off. Although he took some heat for the decision, he also kept a valuable employee. Had Colvard been faced with this decision 6 months earlier, he says he would have gone the other way. What changed his thinking was a month he spent living in McAllen, Texas. It was part of a UPS management training experience called the Community Internship Program (CIP). During his month in McAllen, Colvard built housing for the poor, collected clothing for the Salvation Army, and worked in a drug rehab Center. Colvard gives the program credit for helping him empathize with employees facing crises…

“Carter Cleaning Company” The Career Planning Program Career planning has always been a pretty low-priority item for Carter Cleaning, since "just getting workers to come to work and then keeping them honest is enough of a problem," as Jack likes to say. Yet Jennifer thought it might not be a bad idea to give some thought to what a career planning program might involve for Carter. Many of their employees had been with them for years in dead end jobs, and she frankly felt a little badly for them: "Perhaps we could help them gain a better perspective on what they want to do," she thought. And she definitely believed that the store management group needed better career direction if Carter Cleaning was to develop and grow. Question: 1. Outline and describe the career development program you would propose for the cleaners, pressers, counter people, and managers at the Carter Cleaning Centers.

5) Sometimes it is appropriate to take a job instead of a career. Explain at least two situations where this would be true.
