    When creating the targeted population for Eric Harmon organization, as per Eric’s guidelines we targeted 100% of his total organization for White Belt. The guidance that was provided for changes to White Belt targets is the following: No changes will be made to the targeted population, if a leader decides that their employees will not complete the White Belt, get it approved by Eric and agreed that their percentage completed would never reach 100%. The updated 100% would be a percentage of their targeted employees. So a leader may be at 50%, at that is their 100% if that is what was agreed upon by Eric and the leaders.…

    Businesses today face a plethora of ethical duties such as upholding corporate governance, maintaining stakeholder relationships, and presenting an image of social responsibility. In review of Company Q’s (Q) current ethics culture, its image in regards to social responsibility is not equivalent to that of its competitors. In a growing market faced with increasingly challenging competition, there are several areas that Q can and needs to address to bring the company to a level of social responsibility that exceeds stakeholder expectations. First, attention Q needs to address market demands for additional locations to better serve current customers and attract new customers. Next, Q needs to place focus on community involvement to enhance brand recognition and reputation. Lastly, product lines need to be evaluated to ensure Q is responding to customer demands and promoting healthy living.…

    Typically businesses start up with a primary goal of earning revenue – to have the company profits exceed the cost of doing business. Small, local businesses are particularly susceptible to losing customers to large, corporate companies who often force these smaller companies out of business. Does this goal to make money and/or the susceptibility of being put out of business by a larger company excuse a small, local grocery store from filling its social responsibility? No, quite the contrary. It is becoming increasingly apparent that many consumers are basing their decisions not only on the items being provided by a company but the amount of “good” or perceived good a company is doing in their community.…

    According to the current situation Company Q has a damaged attitude toward social responsibility within their company, all because of low profits being made. Due to high crime rates in certain areas the company has been closing off stores, not realizing the problem they have caused. The people that live in the prospected area where the stores where closed are now forced to travel further for groceries. This causes a problem especially for the poor, who do not have the extra money for extra expenses. I recommend the company take precautionary measures to help catch and promote others not to steal. They could do this by offering a reward, or installing cameras. This would help promote social responsibility within the company. Another very serious problem is the companies unwillingness to donate food for those in need. Especially since the company isn’t losing much or nothing at all by donating. The sudden unwillingness to donate is due to the distrust of the owners with the employees. They believe the employees will start to steal while saying they are donating it to the poor. This is yet another sign of a weak social responsibility within the company. These particular problems and fears are direct situations which concretely damages the social responsibility within the company, as well as the community. My personal recommendation is to draw out concrete guidelines and procedures that the employees have to follow before donating food. This would allow a company to gain trust within the employees as well as being benevolent towards the poor. Especially if cameras are involved employees tend to be more honest. They can also use an employee hiring technique that is based on a persons honesty and dignity. The last problem that the company has is its unwillingness to offer more health conscience food. If the above recommendations are taken into account, the…

    Social responsibility is business ethics that represents standards, norms, and expectations that reflect a concern of major stakeholders, such as consumers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, competitors, and the community. Lack of social responsibility opportunities is hurting Company Q’s business and its image and they don’t seem to care about it according to the given situation. The community’s perception of Company Q’s business has changed since Company Q threw away the day-old, high margin products when the area’s food bank asked for a donation. It was a slap in the face. For a small local grocery store chain that is going through a financial issues, they are not in a place to be ignorant or have a poor customer service. In today market, having good customer service and quality products are the key factors for successful businesses. In company Q’s case, they are failing at both, especially when they don’t even have the support from their own community. It is probably a good thing that they closed two of their stores in higher-crime-rate areas of the city because being in a higher-crime-rate areas would drive their customers away even more so. Even though Company Q can care less about the social responsibility, maybe we can still recommend few pointers to help them improve the business.…
