Challenging and Demanding Work Environments

Question: Discuss about the Challenging and Demanding Work Environments. Answer: Introduction I would like to discuss bout Dominos Pizza in this report, which is my working place. Dominos Pizza is a privately held organization which delivers pizza and is the largest company in the world. It was founded in the year 1960. Across the United states and other countries, it is operating more than 5700 units. The concepts of Dominos are very simple which offers only delivery and has only a limited menu. For 3o years and more its been offering only tow pizza sizes and 11 toppings and till 1990 only cola as a beverage. Later it added salads, bread sticks and additional courses other than pizzas to its menu for running the business as a key personnels. As a role of an employee my focus was to provide the quality pizzas and also the timely based service to the customers. Leadership Team Their leadership style is found to be a lot more way to a democratic style. They are trying to build a trust in their system so that it can be moved ahead faster. But according to me people have looked it in another way (Armstrong, 2013). The autocratic leaders of the company were trying to make the decisions and announce then and then make a move forward so that it would be well-organized. The type of leadership style they follow has resulted in giving them the following strengths and weaknesses. Strengths: They hold a very strong brand image The quality of food and service is maintained high Ordering food online is supported The service of home delivery is effective The customer can design the pizza of their choice Weaknesses: The price of the product is high The menu they offer is similar to other pizza points The food contains high calories The coverage area is limited to, delivery Work Structure The work strategy of Dominos pizza has been design is such a way that their intention is to achieve growth further by strengthening the competitive position with the implementation of their business strategy continuously. They wanted to be the best pizza delivery company in the world by having exceptional franchises and team members (Ahmad, 2013). The roles and responsibilities of manager are to provide assistance to the entire crew and continuous monitoring of the quality of food and service they provide to the customers. Their main aim is to check whether they adhere to the standards and maintaining the customer relations. All the policies and the procedures are to be followed and make the crew follow (Fisher Gonzalez, 2013). Decision Making The management is involved in developing franchises and the stores owned by the company is involved in putting all their efforts and making the right decisions. According to me the management style so making decision for the growth of the business is appropriate so that it wont be biased (Marcano et al., 2013). The decisions are made according to the situations, but if they would take the suggestions from the other level employees before making final decisions would be appreciable so that the situations can be analyzed properly. Teams and Team building The efforts made by the teamwork would often result in producing the outcomes at a greater level than what we get from the individual work (Marcano et al., 2013). The following measures have to be implemented for building the teamwork in the workplace include: Team work has to be encouraged by implementing the recognition programs Social activities are to be encouraged The role each member in a team has to be outlined clearly Any problems that are bothering the should be identified and assessed The members of the team should be empowered by instructing them how to solve their disputes Motivation The manager and the team lead would be the appropriate motivators for the team since they can offer opportunities for the individual persons for their self development and encourage them from their abilities (Roberts, Lowry Sayer, 2014). The individual staff has to be motivated so that they are informed by the goals set for them and how it reflects the company and it would lead to their development. Conflict Conflicts would be there in every company which arises when there is an exchange of the ideas and the creativity of others. The conflict was found to be dysfunctional as some cultural conflicts was involved when there was some suggestion shared for the benefit of the company (Sainsbury, 2014). The following measures are taken by the manager for resolving the dysfunctional conflicts: The ideas from the multiple people are integrated by collaborating their work The conflicts are compromised between team either by agreeing or disagreeing to the solution finally As the strategy of the conflict management, competing is chosen The things that are benefited by functional conflicts are: Clear expectations are set by the manger Employees are given freedom to speak and share their opinions The business strategies that are used are all the members who are in the conflict and affected by that are involved and cohesiveness is built between the team members Work Forecast The work is calculated according to the members of the teams and is distributed based on their abilities it is planned and carried further. Safety and healthy workplace system are generated by the company (Ulrich, Smallwood Sweetman, 2013). They give protection to the employees from burns and other workplace injuries. They should be designed as per the safety standards to make it more effective. Time Management Prioritize the projects and the initial targets that has to be me met and the tasks to be performed for the day. Doing work on time without procrastinating things Being punctual Quality Assurance The quality is maintained at the desired level in delivering the product and services to the customers (Marcano et al., 2013). The quality is best managed at our workplace by implementing the strategy of paying the special attention at each and every stage of processing the products. The ingredients are stored in temperature required by the product. Legislative Context Equal employment opportunity: At our workplace all individuals from different castes, race and disabilities are employed without any bias. Diversity: Workplace is very diversified by encouraging different cultures Anti-Discrimination: all people are treated equally in the workplace Unfair dismissal: without any prior intimation there is no unfair justice done to the employees Short term work organization: individulas who require work for short period are encouraged.
