Employee facing problem

Acas Wales director Gareth Petty said: “With many Welsh businesses struggling in the current climate, this latest report gives us a better understanding of pay rates and conditions. “The majority of those who responded to the survey were from the manufacturing sector which we know has been under pressure in Wales in recent months, particularly the automotive industry. “Acas Wales is seeing evidence of pay freezes and minimal increases, which is a trend that may continue in the coming months.”
The survey highlights regional differences with South West Wales having a staff turnover rate in excess of 15% of 50%. This compares to 32.1% in South East Wales and just 11.1% in North and Mid Wales.
As many as 15.7% have absence rates of over 6%. The highest affected region geographically is South East Wales at 21.6%. For South West Wales it is 10.5% and North and Mid Wales 7.1%.
Forget the sunshine, ocean and miles of sand. Florida Department of Commerce Secretary Greg Farmer says Florida’s greatest natural resource is its diverse population.
“Yet we’ve done a miserable job of exploiting it,” Farmer said on Monday in his keynote address to the National Minority and Women Business Enterprise/Equal Employment Opportunity/Contract Compliance Conference that continues through Wednesday. Farmer told about 300 administrators and business owners that minority hiring practices in the private and public sector have improved since he took office three years ago, but are still in need of close attention.
Among his suggestions to bring about change:
“In short, it’s no more business as usual,” he said. Farmer said less than one half of 1 percent of minority firms in Florida have been certified by the state. Partly to blame was the tedious certification paperwork, which was a grueling 24 pages when Farmer took office. Firms had to reapply every year, an unnecessary and time consuming chore, Farmer said.
“I’m not the smartest guy in the world, but I suspect if you’re an African-American in 1992, chances are you are in 1993,” Farmer said.
Farmer also said there should be an honor system allowing a certified minority firm in Broward or Palm Beach County, for instance, to have the right to do business in other counties. There is no such system in place now.
Businesses that take advantage of bidding opportunities by falsely calling themselves minority firms should be charged with a first- degree felony, Farmer said. “[Give them) not just a slap on the wrist, but handcuffs on the wrist,” he said.
Farmer’s speech carried the basic theme of the 12th annual conference: There are many challenges in promoting and monitoring fairness in the hiring of minorities and women. Farmer The conference is geared toward equal employment opportunity administrators and minority and women business enterprise coordinators for large companies and cities across the nation.
Over the next two days minority business coordinators will discuss workforce diversity, contract compliance, middle-management opportunities and leadership skills to teach their peers how to do a better job of opening doors for historically disadvantaged businesses.
Guithele Ruiz, an affirmative action and equal employment officer for the city of Hollywood, said the visibility of minority and women businesses has increased over the past five years. But she agreed with Farmer that more can be done to encourage these businesses to bid for government contracts and to show large businesses how much of an asset these firms can be.
The working employees in various government, private organizations who have come from different parts of the country are facing accommodation problems due to lack of residential facilities in the capital.
A large number of working employees come from farflungvillages in search of jobs for better employments but the problem they faced is to find a suitable shelter.
Asif Tahir, a government employee while talking to reporter said that more hostels could provide relief to bachelors who come here from distant areas of the country in search of jobs and studies.
He said he lived in a single room in Sector G7/1 and the main which he faces is the lack of bachelor hostels.
Muhammad Shoaib, a teacher said that rents of rooms and houses had surged in the last few years due to the unprecedented influx of students and job seekers in the capital.
“I am paying Rs10,000 for a single unfurnished room and the owner increases rent by 10 per cent every year, he added. He further said that due to nonavailability of proper hostel facilities he had to live in a small room.
It is quite difficult for a student to find a reasonable living place at affordable rates in the capital, he said.
“In the past five years, I have changed my residence many times due to the ill attitude of landlords or lack of basic facilities,” he added.
Naheed Waqas, an employee of a semigovernmentorganisation, said that private hostels had been charging Rs10,000 to Rs12,000 for a single bed accommodation, adding that these hostels had no proper cleanliness system.
“I am residing in a small room of a private hostel with three other girls due to paucity of hostels for girls in the twin cities,” said Naheed.
Samina Ch, another working woman said, “We pay Rs8,000 per head to the hostel management who provide two timemeals and breakfast. There was no proper arrangement for cleanliness and the substandard food was being provided.” She appealed to the concerned authority to take steps for setting up new girls hostels in the capital because the existing hostel facilities were not sufficient to the ever increasing women working class.
Muhammad Yasin, a property dealer, said that bachelors are facing many problems in finding accommodation as owners preferred to rent out houses to families.

[…]48% of insurance companies surveyed by the Jacobson Group for its Insurance Labor Market Study noted that hiring talent was more difficult this year than the year before. […]in recent years many company leaders in our industry have realized the value in community support, not just to win new customers, but to empower their employees and understand that they work for an employer who cares for their community. Since the start of the pandemic, we’ve noticed even more of an appreciation for our in-person events, and we believe this is something the industry needs to re-energize.
David Turetsky Vice president of compensation consulting at Salary.com ———— “Successful organizations will invest in training their teams on generative AI and other rapidly evolving technologies, proving the power of upskilling to mitigate employee turnover,” David Turetsky, vice president of compensation consulting at Salary.com, said in a statement. In a survey of 425 participants, including 80% who were HR or compensation professionals, respondents indicated that they’re placing a stronger focus on “soft skills” that generative AI doesn’t cover, such as problem solving, communication and decision making. In addition to upskilling and reskilling, respondents said they’re conducting skills-based hiring, reworking job descriptions and tweaking their hiring requirements.
Maharashtra Government should take the responsibility of regular salaries, pension and gratuity of employees of Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP) otherwise 22,000 employees across the state, will start an indefinite strike from March 5, said Laxman Upganlawar, President of Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP) Sanyukta Sanghatana.
Addressing a press conference here on Friday, Upganlawarstated that about 22,000 employees of MJP were facing lot of problems due to indifferent attitude of Maharashtra Government towards MJP. The retired employees were not receiving monthly pensions, gratuity and even regular monthly salaries. Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP) was established as per Maharashtra Water Supply and Sewerage Act 1976. Objective of MJP is to rapid development and proper regulation of water supply and sewerage services in the state. The Board was subsequently named as Maharashtra Jeevan Authority in 1997. MJP performed integrated and vital role in planning, designing, implementation and subsequent operation and maintenance of water supply and sewerage sector in the state. Actual implementation of the schemes was putting upto 17.50 % of actual expenditure into MJP ‘s treasury as E&P charges through which MJP’s expenses towards salary, pension and administrative charges were met out.
Government of Maharashtra is not giving any grant for the salaries, pension or other expenses of MJP employees. In 2011, Government had cut down the E&P charges from 17.5 percent to 3% to 9 % and MJP has facing crisis for payment of regular salaries of employees and pension to its retired employees, said Rajesh Hadke, General Secretary of Backward Class and Other Backward Class Water Supply Employees Union. Other corporations like Maharashtra State Transport Corporation (MSRTC) or companies formed after decentralisation of Maharashtra State Electricity Board have their own manuals.
But MJP has no separate service manual for employees. Government of Maharashtra is not supporting MJP. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had assured in writing to the union of MJP employees to look in to the matter with in three month. After 14 months had passed, Government had not taken any decision to accommodate the MJP employees in State Government Service. This is the reason, the joint action committee has taken decision to hold indefinite strike from March 5, Hadke said. Other executive committee members like Gajanan Gatlewar, Adv R.B Sharmale, Nirhikant Thobre, Deepak Dhote, K.J Lad, Vishwas Wankhede and others were also present at the press conference.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of despotic leadership and workplace incivility on turnover intention among nurses in Punjab, Pakistan, by mediating the effect of work-family conflict. 573 questionnaires were distributed to nurses in Punjab, Pakistan’s healthcare sector. SPSS was used to analyze the data, and Smart PLS was used to evaluate the model. The findings of the study reveal that despotic leadership and workplace incivility directly increase turnover intention. The independent variables were positively and negatively correlated with intent to leave the organization. The mediating effect of work-family conflict between despotic leadership and turnover intention was not supported. The study also examines how despotic leadership and workplace incivility affect work-family conflict, which has not been extensively studied. This research sheds light on employee turnover and stresses the importance of addressing negative workplace experiences to boost retention and well-being
