This Charming Man

This Charming Man

From watching a small part of “This Charming Man” I was able to better understand how in some parts of the world there is discrimination. Whether it is discrimination towards someone’s name, how some may dress, or how they look and what they may be. In this video there was a man named Lars and he was a Danish guy, he had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was out of work for almost two years so it was very difficult for him to find a job. He went to a job center to get some help, but there was a mix up with paper work. Instead he ended up disguising himself as a Persian man and through that experience he was able to see how differently people were treated.  For example he would go to the bar as himself Lars, and he went to the bar as El Hassan with Ida and the bartender treated him a certain way. The bartender also brought up a few racists jokes, one about a Persian woman and her mustache. Also at the beginning Lars did not recognize Ida who was an old classmate, simply because she lost a lot of weight, and he also called the phone lady a peasant girl because she did not know what she was doing. “Recently employed staff must acquire the knowledge and skills needed to become proficient in their positions.” (172). In the video El Hassan was signed up for a Danish speaking class in order to have the qualities needed to find a job. “…acquire the knowledge and skills needed to become proficient in their positions” (172). Lars new how his classmate Omid had been refused several jobs and really needed a job, he knew some of his qualities and was able to help him find a job. “…culture of respect that begins with training experiences that yield staff members who have the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful on the job.”(172).

I think that a reason why National Lawyers Association NELA might sponsor Workplace Fairness because everyone has rights and if their employer is not treating them fairly they do have the right to an lawyer. They can get a lawyer in order to get be treated like everyone else.

On this site you can find your workplace rights for the 50 states, workplace news and also court decisions. “technology… has not generally affected the number of employees required to produce and deliver the products and services that guests desire”  (172).

“...more-experienced peers must obtain new knowledge and skills to keep up with an ever-changing workplace (172).”

This site is helpful with giving you tips for how to go about getting a job, getting fired or just getting started. It also provides information on the rights of a workplace. Hospitality managers can best address any of the issues by going onto the site because the site provides them with information that they may or may not already know.

“Training is important for all hospitality personnel because it is the best way to assure that staff members can make maximum contributions to the organization's success” (172).

This site can be very helpful and useful in finding the correct information when it comes to hiring or termination. It also provides information from benefits to unions to wages, and problems.

What went wrong with the interview was that she was not dressed the same as how everyone else was. If she were to be working with the people in the office she would not fit in because of her attire, they all wore suits and she was not dressed in a suit. She was also so used to wearing a lot of makeup and that is something she probably should not have done, maybe she could have toned it done a little. I also think she was not as confident by when she was saying that she did not know any of the lists of questions being asked. She also was not confident when at the end she became upset and started to beg. What she did do correctly was that she put in effort to show up and try to get a job. When the man was on the phone she politely waited for him to finish. It looked like she possibly brought a resume if not an application because the man knew her name.” Today, employment laws are still proposed by various segments of society in an effort to ensure fairness in the workplace(Hayes 28).” She did not make any lies to any of the questions and she was straight up with every question. Although she did not know how to perform the duties asked the man did not discriminate against her, he still tried to find another way she could possibly get hired but it did not work out for her. “Affirmative action constitutes a good-faith effort by employees to address past and/or present discrimination through a variety of specific, results-oriented procedures (Hayes 36)”

Case Study

EOC: Week 1

Case Study:

The results of strategies used to manage human resources at affecting the business is because the policy impact of Human Resource Management is an important field. A big amount of work is may contain argument that using high performance work practices may include comprehensive recruitment of employees or selection procedures. Also may include incentive compensation and also performance work practices. Potential human resources are important considerations in the development and execution of its strategically business plan.

Possible reasons that top-level managers do not recognize the problems that a lack of focus on human resources concerns are creating is because many firms do not realize how much time and money they are wasting on human resource management tasks. They start to realize all of that when they sit down and register their time. HRIS is advancing to become its own information technology field. It allows companies to cut costs and offer more information to employees in a faster and more resourceful way. In tough economic times, it is critical for companies to become more resourceful in every part of their business; human resource is no exception.
