Essay On Workplace Environment

1.Describer a workplace environment that was highly motivating for you. What was the culture and specifically what made it so motivating?

The work environment that was highly motivating for me is in the Insurance company that I am working. On my first day of work at the Insurance company, my supervisor was working hard; consequently, I got motivated to work for this company. I knew that he will not only depend on the employees do the job, but who would help in situations of need. He was actually nominated the best employee of the quarter. The communication with the manager and supervisor is great because if we need to make any changes, they have an open door policy to hear our requests. My supervisor motivate us by buying Mexican bread

My supervisor was a Vietnamese and 90% of the employees were Vietnamese; consequently, the co-workers were discourteous and did not train how to use the machines to perform the work. The supervisor and the team leader were very authoritarian to minorities, such as female, male, Filipino, Mexican–Americans or other minorities.

I also like to help my co-workers when they have a question. I also help my supervisor as much as I can. I have been training a co-worker for couple of weeks and we get along.

My next motivation is to get a supervisor or management job and get a better salary. I feel as part of the team and that my work influences my co-workers since I am responsible for printing the emails, coding, and distributing the work. Even though my supervisor can print and distribute the work in case if I am absent, I do not like to be absent since I am a very responsible person, who likes to work hard and not get behind on my
