1) As the manager responsible for staffing at XYZ Manufacturing, you face a major challenge over the next five years. According to employment records, approximately 40 of the 200 production
employees will be entering their 60s. Although there is no formal retirement age in this firm, production staff usually retire before age 65 because they are eligible for full retirement pensions by
then. Furthermore, you have noticed that local colleges are graduating fewer tradespeople in these jobs than they did a decade ago. What can you do to resolve this problem?
2) Post an article related to the assigned readings. The article may be from a journal, an online source, a magazine, a newspaper or other source. Cite the source of the article using the APA
style.
3) The third annual ?The Best Small and Medium Companies to Work For in America? concluded that companies that made the top 25 highest rankings had some features in common. These
included a low employee turnover rate, high levels of employee training and generous amount of time off. In addition, these companies excelled at employee communication. Each of the
excellent companies shared all of their financial information with their employees and most of them ?share major company initiatives with all employees before going public with their plans.?
Typically, in such companies, both management and the rank and file worked together to create the mission statement and a set of company values. Also, the liberal and wide-spread use of flex-
time was a hallmark of these companies. Finally, all of the companies had excellent new employee orientation programs.
How would companies like those described above be described using the Four-Drive theory of motivation?
