Introduction of Humanized robots:
The
company bowers machine parts were developed by Jake who was the father of
Helen. Now Helen takes over all the responsibilities of the organization. Jake
was very loyal with its all employees and take special care for its all
employees. Before death, the employees were working in a very effective manner
as they provide huge production to the organization and also consider that this
was their organization. They all were taking part in the decision-making
process and also give their suggestions for making the decision better. The
leadership style Jake adopts follows the complete support of its all employees.
Jake work as an employee with its all staff and support them and also gave them
the respect due to their performance (Snow, 2002).
No
any organization or company can run its operations without the support of the employees
and employees only give their complete support and efforts when the senior
management consider them as part of the organization and also get involve them
in all operations of the organization and also involve them in decision making
process of the organization because they are working in internal part of the
organization and they know every well all the pros and cons of the operations
and also provide complete information to improve the operations. Employees also
want some importance and they also want rewards against their efforts so they
will provide their maximum efforts and also utilize their experience for the
benefit of the organization. It is up to the senior management of the
organization and executives that how to treat with your employees and how to
deal with them in such a way that it would become beneficial for the
organization and they also show their loyalty for the organization with their
work and experience (Robert, 2017).
Body:
Helen gives more attention to the profitability of an organization
instead of on employees and their benefits. She didn't want to treat the
employees as family and consider them as a hired person who just gives their
services against some remuneration and nothing else. So she wants to increase
the level of production and profitability of the organization and also promote
the production level to meet the requirement of the international market. There
are many different Japanese and strong competitors who also enter the market
that provides high-quality products and also have a strong reputation in the
international market. So Helen wants to compete with such competitors and also
gets the maximum market share and she also wants to develop its reputation at a
high level and she wishes that her organization consider the best organization
that provides machine parts all over the world and also enhances the
profitability of the organization. But her father's style of working was
completely different as compared to Helen. Her father considered all the
employees as part of the organization. He fully relies on the employees and
also gave many benefits to employees so employees also show they completely
trust him and they spend their all efforts and hard work. But now the whole
situation is going to change. Helen develops limitations for the employees and
they never take part in all the operations more than their limit (A. Sciutti, 2018).
Helen wants to run its organization according to new techniques and she
wants to expand its operations and also increase its growth or productivity to meet
the target of the market. For that, she wants a great effort towards her
employees and she wants that they give their best to meet the target but after
these restrictions, the efficiency of the employees is going down and they also
not meet the company's target actively. So Helen implements a new strategy for
improving the capacity of production that every employee specifies some target
related to production and if he fails to meet the target then proper deduction
from its remuneration occur and this has become the rule of the organization (Schaufeli, 2008).
So the employee has come in a strict environment and they try to meet the
target to save from any kind of deduction. But this depends on the employees
and their mental approach that how they follow this rule of the organization.
Because after Jake the employees are not too much satisfied with the
performance and rules and regulations of the Helen and Helen also minimize
their pay scale of all the employees and also minimize their limits because she
didn’t want the interference of any employee in the major decisions of the
organizations and want to take all the decision by herself. Helen wants to take
all the decisions by itself and also manage all the strategies and objectives
of the organization because she wants to implement new and effective strategies
that promote the production of the organization and also develop a high
reputation in the local and international markets (P. Sousa, 2011).
When Helen takes over the firm of her father, she brings many changes in
the management style of the organization because her father treats all the
employees as a family and they listen to their problems and discuss the matter
of organization with them. but the view of Helen is quite different from her
father, she considers that she can take all the decisions as she is the owner
and know the profit and loss of business with competing for concern. Helen's
leadership style is very different for employees. She changes her behavior with
all the employees and employees want time to adjust to the new leadership style
of Helen and work with her according to her way.
Second, Helen wants to increase its production quotas by almost 20% and
for this purpose, she cut short the idle time of all the employees and also
wants to expand its business by utilizing the softball field that was developed
for the entertainment of employees. Her main focus to increase the productivity
of the organization and want the maximum effort of its all employees but
employees didn't respond according to her expectation and they also used
maximum material and create problem in the production system and also incur
high cost in the production which is a burden for the organization. With
changing her behavior with employees she also wants to compete in the
international market according to international standards. The international
market has very tough and high reputed competitors that can obtain a maximum of
customers and also capture the maximum share of the market (P. R. Grime, 2004). Japanese are the most important
example.
In this regard. Because the Japanese offer high-quality products at most
affordable prices to its all customers and also develop a strong reputation in
the market. Helen willing to compete for the Japanese firms and also make its
organization the level of Japanese firms. But its role of employees to increase
its production and meet the international market demand is not very active and
they are not a response to the instruction of Helen according to her
expectations (Nikolaou, 2005). She wants her to become more
profitable and highly productive so it can meet the demand of the market at an
international level and also capture maximum customers all over the world. She
changes many operational procedures and brings new and advance methodologies
for increasing productivity. She also stops increasing salaries of the
employees and also put some strict rule related to their pay and bring such
rule to obtain the maximum number of production and profitability. She has to
face major issues related to its employees because their productivity is going
down and they didn't follow the instructions of Helen as they follow her
father's instructions. Due to poor management and not fully supportive
employees and team, Helen considers that they never achieve its target and
never meet the international requirement. But they also determine that only she
has the authority to make all the decisions related to the organization because
she is the owner of the organization (S. Embgen, 2012).
As a consultant of the Helen, first of all, I consider all the weak areas
of the organization that why the Helen couldn't obtain her targets and what
flaws her management appear so that its coordination with its all employees are
not too much effective and they unable to generate the production at specified
level that set by the Helen although she implements new and advanced
technologies in the organization. According to my point of view, the employee's
issue is quite critical as Helen want to bring very strict environment for the
employees and in past, the employees are very relaxed and they were working in
a very friendly environment that considers their all problem and also provide
him reward and incentives according to their performance (V. Kujala, 2005).
But now they are treated as hired employees and their wages also cut short
and the environment is completely changing and now they are work as an employee
who receives salary against their efforts and they have no issue or concern
regarding any action or operation of the organization. They also have no share
in the profit of the organization because the whole profit belongs to the owner
of the organization and they are just the part of management. In the past, they
were also taking part in decision making and give their advice and share their
experience related to the performance of the organization. But now the whole
criteria are going to change. Helen is the only person who takes all the
decisions of the company without any advice and also treats the employees are
the simple hired person who receives some amount against their services. As per
consultant, I suggest the Helen to bring some change in its behavior with
employees because without employees no any organization can run its operations
and functions so the Helen make good behavior with its all employees and give
them incentives and some reward against their extra effort so they show their
willingness to perform very well and they give their complete effort to
accomplish the target of the organization that set by the Helen. She also
determines that how much the plant of the organization can produce the parts so
she set all the goals and targets according to real capacity and set the real
targets that can be achievable for the organization and its employees (J. C. L. Chew, 2004).
She also provides training to its all employees according to new methods
and standards so that the employees can capable of producing the product
according to new market standards and also able to follow the latest and
advanced technologies for the production sector. So the main change should be
present in the attitude of Helen toward its employees and she considers as part
of an organization that spends their time, efforts, skills, and experience to
the organization and demands some respect and importance with its remuneration.
And also develop realistic targets that can be achievable for the organization
according to its capacity of production (Breazeal, 2017).
Conclusion of Humanized robots:
After study the case we can conclude that the
organization never runs through a single person. For running the organization
successfully a complete team of good employees is required that have great
experience in the field and also have great capabilities of doing to work for
the organization. The role of employees in the development of the organization
is very important and also determines the performance of the organization very
effective. Leadership style and the role of management are considering major
importance for the development and success of the organization because when the
executives are taking effective decisions for the organization and its all
employees then they can run the organization successfully. Management should be
loyal to the organization and set such missions and objectives for the
organization that can achievable and easily obtainable for the production
sector. But the most important fact is that employees should be loyal and
honest with the organization and for that the organization has to develop good
relationship with its all employees and also take care of its employees because
when the employees are happy and satisfied with the organization then they give
their best performance for the development of the organization and also utilize
their maximum experience related to the work to improve the quality of the
production and the organization generate best product that can compete the
market requirement and meet the high level of profitability as compare to its
all competitors. The organization needs a good team of members that can run the
organization inaccurate direction and resolve all the issue and remove all the
hurdles that come in the path of success for the organization. Making the
organization of high level and to enhance its standard according to other
international firms, organization needs to follow and implement effective and
beneficial strategies that can helpful in obtaining the target of productivity
of the organization and also promote its production and provide high quality
product to the customers so they can develop long term relationship with its
all customers. The employees also give the right advice when the management
brings any change or adopt any new technique of methodology for the production
because employees are part of the production and they know all the actual
condition of production and know its flaws and strengths. So they give better
advice related to the operation of the organization and this will be beneficial
for the organization because they can give more benefits to the organization.
Employees also have the right to receive some reward or incentives against
their efforts because when the organization motivates the employee with some
reward then the employee gives their best to obtain the target of the
organization and enhance the level of production through effective strategies. The
organization is a combination of different people who perform their role and
responsibilities that assigned by the management of the organization so it
depends on the member of the organization that how to perform and how to make
the organization more profitable because of their effort also part of the
success of the organization.
