Problem Solution: Riordan Manufacturing
Riordan Manufacturing is a company in a state of crisis. Their employees are unhappy, unmotivated, and lack morale. Riordan reward system has completely been restructured and reorganized and its changes aren’t sitting well with its employees. Being so, the company is definitely feeling the effects of their dissatisfaction. The current problems all started to manifest with the implementation of the company’s “new and improved” business strategies. These strategies failed to comply with employees’ wants and needs and beyond doubt need to be addressed. It has been said that job performance (or any desired behavior) will likely be most effective when the employee’s temperament, preferences, and expectations are congruent with the organization’s reward system (Dreher & Dougherty, 2001).” The previous statement pretty much sums up what Riordan Manufacturing must do to get their employees back within their hold. In order to get back on top, Riordan must provide an environment that possesses sufficient, adequate compensation and benefit programs and the creation of a reward program that will motivate, increase productivity, foster job satisfaction and increase overall morale.
