I work closely with other employees and Partner of the firm. All questions raised by employees on the files regarding the accounting and tax are answered by myself. If I am not sure I will consult with Partner. This allows me to regularly update my knowledge with any new update. Therefore, it is important that I develop and maintain a positive relationship with both employees and Partner. It also assists in the company to create a positive environment where I am available to answer the questions asked by employees and resolve the problems.

Chapter one started off with an interesting case about a married couple, who are doctors and decided to work within the same hospital. Soon after they started to work there, their marriage started to suffer and in the end they decided to get a divorce. Mr. Whittamore decided that he was going to leave the hospital and was thinking about opening his own clinic, even though it was against his contract. He thought that he would go talk to Singson and explain the situation to him and see if the contract could be overlooked and allow him to open his clinic. Singson told Whittamore that the contract would stand. Singson responds made Whittamore upset and the conflict between Singson and Whittamore started. The chapter continued talking about the approaches that people may use in order to

As of next week, we will require that all employees at Semper Absum take a mandatory one-hour lunch break away from their desks. After hiring an efficiency expert, we were informed that many employees were not taking a lunch-break and instead were using work time to attend to personal matters. Statistically, employees who do not take a lunch break tend to be less productive during the rest of the day.

1. A second contribution of the Aggarwal and McGill, (2012), research is to recommend the procedure by which automatic behavior significances from anthropomorphized brand primes, and it is a motivational process. Clients of popular products want to reach the main characteristics or attribute linked to the brand. Most Apple or Disney patrons would like to be imaginative, creative, and popular like these brands (Aggarwal and McGill, 2012). Apple or Disney customers might play the part of the consistency with Apple and Disney, and they could take on the characteristics. I find it hard to believe that an adult would take on a Disney character unless they are extremely immature. I can visualize people who are concerned with status, and Apple is one if the finest products for position. Only little kids would

By sending mail directly or making personal calls to all the doctors, administrators, and any other relevant personnel as well as visiting them if possible, we can establish a relationship with the customers at virtually no cost. However, the expected time commitment for the product is the most important part of our marketing strategy. Firstly, we will have to determine the persons to contact at the hospitals and nursing homes. Secondly, our team will have to determine when and how often we contact the target audience.

3) How far should firms go to protect and accommodate employee differences in the workplace?

Negotiation is one important part of both the professional and personal life in our everyday situations. It is critical for people to resolve disputes, distribute limited resources, and/or create something new that neither party could achieve on his or her own. Negotiations can range from coordinating project timelines with clients to asking for a raise to discussing holiday plans with family members.

Religion in the workplace can bring up some of the most difficult issues employers have to face. Resolving these issues requires understanding the law and balancing the business's needs with an employee's desire to practice his or her religion. One of the most contentious conflicts is between an employee's desire to take time off and the potential reduction in productivity and profitability.

Accommodations that don't constitute undue hardship to the employer include voluntary substitutions or employee "swaps," flexible work schedules, floating or optional holidays, staggered work hours, and allowing employees to make up lost time.
