Case Study on Business Participation in Welfare-to-Work

Case Study about Business Participation in Welfare-to-Work

Benefits of Welfare-to-Work Involvement Corporate citizenship motivated American Airlines, a member of the government-initiated Welfare to Work Partnership, to begin its welfare-to-work efforts. The airline also saw an opportunity to broaden its pool of applicants for entry-level jobs. The program has helped AA hire quality employees, while reducing hiring time and probably hiring costs as well. These benefits drive AA’s welfare-towork efforts.

Highlights of Welfare-to-Work Involvement Since late 1996, American Airlines and affiliated companies have hired 1,200 welfare recipients. AA hires welfare recipients mainly for part-time jobs in its airport operations, with starting pay of about $7.50 to $8.50 per hour, and full-time jobs in its reservation operation, with starting pay of $7 per hour. Rather than create in-house programs, AA partners with community-based non-profit organizations to ready welfare recipients for employment. AA does not see preparing welfare recipients for employment as one of its core competencies.

Case Study on Jelly Belly

“The feedback has been really positive, from both managers and employees as well. Some staff said this was the best appraisal they’ve had.”
- Margie Poulos, Manager of Human Resources.

“It allows us to standardize competencies across job classifications, add signature and comment sections to make our process more interactive, and increase accessibility for remote managers.”
- Jeff Brown, Director of Human Resources.

Challenge: Jelly Belly’s search for a new employee performance and talent managment system began four years ago, when two branches of the family business were reunited into a single company. One branch was using an outdated EPM software program. The other was doing its employee appraisals manually, using paper forms.Having a variety of jelly bean flavors is great-a variety of employee appraisal processes in a single company is not…

Solution: To meet their strategic goals, Poulos and her team drew up a list of the criteria that a new system had to meet. Top on the list was ease of use. “We didn’t want to end up with a system that is so complicated that the managers wouldn’t use it,” Poulos said. A new system also had to save time. Because employees were in multiple locations, it needed to be web-based for accessibility. And it had to be flexible, easily incorporating core competencies into different forms…

Case Study of Bayer Group

A/O Bayer is a part of the Bayer Group, which has core competencies in the fields of health care, nutrition and high-tech materials. In the CIS region more than 1,600 employees are working for Bayer. “The majority of our staff works in sales, and many of them need to travel frequently to visit customers,” explains Matthias Sallat, Project Manager, Bayer MaterialScience CIS.

“Naturally, they need to be reimbursed for their travel expenses, and as a result, we need to process as many as 20,000 expense reports every year.” Until recently, the management of these expense reports was a manual, paper-based process. Sales teams needed to complete a complex paper form, which was then sent to the accounts department. The accountants would then check the claims and enter the data into the company’s ERP system.

Case Study on Rogers Marketing

The convergence of television, telephone and computing affects Rogers on a strategic level by eliminating segmentation and niche specialization within the three industries that the firm competes in. Broadband cable forces customers looking for faster cable television and internet services to choose a single provider.

Customers will prefer providers that can consolidate these services, rather than managing multiple subscriptions, each with extra layers of cost. This loss of segmentation causes new competitors to enter the market for cable services, which in turn tests Rogers strategic planning and market share. In response, Rogers needs to leverage its core competencies and capacity in retail cable services to respond to threats from competitors. Click here to read more…

Case Study on Saputo

In the mid-2000s Saputo Inc is at a crossroad with regard to its next strategic move. On the heel of its success in Canadian and US markets, the company is considering several options to expand its operations in different countries, including the U.S., Argentina, and Canada. While each option presents unique opportunities to the company, any strategic decision will have to be aligned with what Saputo has been good at in terms of its core competencies.

The restrictive Canadian business environment and the company’s adaptation to better compete in such an environment, combined with a high level of competition in Canada, have accorded Saputo unique competencies, such as lean operation capabilities and agile diversification abilities.

Case Study on Omnicare

After successfully providing inventory services to a health care corporation later acquired by Omnicare, RGIS was identified as having the reach, responsiveness and reliability to become Omnicare’s exclusive inventory services partner. As a leading provider of pharmaceutical care for the elderly, this move permitted Omnicare to re-focus its own employees on core competencies for meeting its client and patient needs.

RGIS has successfully developed and implemented a consistent inventory process across all of Omnicare’s regions and has performed thousands of audits using this process. The new process introduced additional audit points, an alternative pill-counting methodology, and numerous custom reports that have saved Omnicare millions of dollars in potential shrink. Omnicare has identified RGIS as a one-stop solution for improving inventory accuracy through the introduction of audit points and streamlined, post-inventory reporting. Omnicare is now the largest non-retail client in RGIS’ customer base. Click here to read more…
