Document Summary
To encourage you to understand the relationship between organizational structure and a company"s ability to attract and keep valued employees. You are the founder of a small but growing high-tech company that develops new computer software. With your current workload and new contracts in the pipeline, your business is thriving, except for one problem: you cannot find computer programmers for product development. Worse yet, current staff members are being lured away by other high-tech firms. After suffering a particularly discouraging personnel raid in which competitors captured three of your most valued employees, you schedule a meeting with your director of human resources to plan organizational changes designed to encourage worker loyalty. You already pay top dollar, but the continuing exodus tells you that programmers are looking for something more. Working with three or four classmates, identify some ways in which specific organizational changes might improve the working environment and encourage employee loyalty.
