PROPOSED STRATEGIC PLAN A. Objectives and Rationale of the Proposed Plan
Using the information we gathered from our surveys, we have come up with some ideas for the employees of Carmike to be better engaged in their work. Our first idea was to retrain the employees every 3 months. By doing this the employees can be refreshed on how to do their jobs properly. The employees will have a better knowledge of the workplace, so that when new employees come they will be able to train those employees even better.
We also had the idea to get an employee bonus cash. This will be a way for employees to make extra money when they work someone else’s shift. The employees will want to take over other employees’ shifts to get extra money on top of what they would normally be paid for that shift. We Carmike employees need more engaging activities and benefits. Rewards, added incentives, and better training is needed badly.
⦁ Better pay
⦁ More enjoyable things to do in
