Group One Final Project
An important emerging issue that can be found in design of work is balancing a healthy and productive work environment. What does this mean in the context of what we have learned? Below are topics of what we have discussed in our studies. Please write your thoughts on these subjects and if you have links to the websites where you found the information tag them to your report. I will take everyone’s thoughts and put them together for a final report and send them to everyone Friday for review. Please have them back by Wednesday instead of Tuesday. I apologize for being vague in my expectations.
What is Coca Cola’s culture like?
I would say on this question it depends on who you ask. If you ask the Coca Cola company you will get one answer and if you ask the workers you will get another. There are some areas that both probably agree, but there are also different opinions on some areas.
Coca Cola states that the culture is defined by our seven core values: leadership, passion, integrity, collaboration, diversity, quality, and accountability (Our Company, 2014). The major theme to the culture seems to be diversity. If you look deeper into the management it seems that the culture is all about money though. Muhtar Kent is the CEO of Coca-Cola and he says that the workers need to have an entrepreneurial mentality and need to feel like they are chasing pennies down a hallway (Bhasin, 2012).
If you go even further and look at some of the reviews that workers gave on indeed.com you can get a feel of their opinions. Most seem to agree that compensation and bonuses were pretty good. This is actually a good thing because this basically meets their first need in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Now when you get to some other issues there seem to be some issues. These are all anonymous, but I will put the locations of the worker. In Speedway, IN
