4.What kind of personal problems can employees experience when working abroad?
Working abroad can be dangerous. Occasionally employers want to swindle inexperienced foreigners. When you do not know the language very well, you make them it easier. As far as I am concerned, everyone leave in the country several measurement of his life. The majority of people overlook these things, which are capable of be impracticable to regain afterward.
Employees who work abroad tend not to go back to their home countries, thereby leading to the increase of brain drain in those countries. Without skilled workers, the countries which are normally developing countries will not be able to develop at the same pace as they could have. Moreover, if this trend happens so quickly, it would result in the explosion of immigration in immigrant countries.
Empoyees will be confronted with so many psychological problems. They often feel lonely and helpless in a new environment.
5.In what ways can corporate culture be expressed?
Corporate culture is a term used to describe the collective beliefs, value systems, and processes that provide a company with its own unique flavor and attitude. Businesses of all sizes posses some type of corporate culture, in that every company has a set of values and goals that help to define what the business is all about.
At the foundation of any company culture are the standards that govern the operation of the business. These standards are usually expressed in terms of the policies and procedures that define how the company will operate. This will include how different departments or functions relate to one another in the production process, the line of communication established between management and departmental employees, and rules governing acceptable conduct of everyone who is part of the company. This basic organizational culture makes it possible to develop other layers of corporate culture based on these foundational factors.
As with many types of cultures, corporate culture usually involves the inclusions of some rites or rituals. This can be something as simple as the annual holiday bonus, a week in the summer when the entire company shuts down, or even the naming of an employee of the month. These rites help to bond people together and provide some sense of collective identity, which is very important to the creation of a positive corporate culture.
It is important to note that a particular corporate culture may be positive or negative. Businesses where the rules constantly change, employee input is not encouraged, and rites tend to change constantly could be said to have a negative or counter-effective corporate culture. Since most companies cannot survive without the support of all employees and a dedication to core values, any business that develops negative corporate attitudes and culture is likely to be extremely limited in growth, or will fail to survive.
6. How does corporate culture affect employees?
Job-seekers care about a potential employer's corporate culture. Aren't there more important factors to consider, such as the job itself, salary and bonuses, and fringe benefits? How does a company's culture affect you? In many, many ways. For instance:
The hours you work per day, per week, including options such as flextime and telecommuting.
The work environment, including how employees interact, the degree of competition, and whether it's a fun or hostile environment -- or something in between.
The dress code, including the accepted styles of attire and things such as casual days.
The office space you get, including things such as cubicles, window offices, and rules regarding display of personal items.
The training and skills development you receive, which you need both on the job and to keep yourself marketable for future jobs and employers.
Onsite perks, such as break rooms, gyms and play rooms, daycare facilities, and more.
The amount of time outside the office you're expected to spend with co-workers.
Interaction with other employees, including managers and top management.
