Answer 1

Diversity is necessary to maintain a competitive advantage in a global marketplace Understanding the values, ethics, religious practices, customs, economic environment and the political and legal system will help HR professionals balance the concerns and well-being of the people in an organization. In fact, a challenge that HR face is implementing a “non-traditional work schedule” today a lot of people want more than the 9 to 5 Monday- Friday job. They want a compressed workweek where they work fewer than five days’ but make it up by working extended hours. Personally, as a mother of three, I want to work the 9 to 5 Monday- Friday; it lets me balance my work and home life; it gives me the opportunity to be the mother I want and fulfil my career goals at the same time. In the work place there are many ethical considerations. It doesn’t matter the organization; there will also be that one or two that will attempt to take advantage of a good situation “sick days” “running late” Doctor appointments”. The key as an HRM is weeding out the bad apples and making sure that every employ is given equal opportunity to balance their work and home life.
