I agree with five of the seven aspects of the Netflix culture. Each of the aspects wouldn't be successful without the other. Having values that include the following behaviors: judgement, communication, impact, curiosity, innovation , courage, passion, honesty, and selflessness allows an employee to feel empower to reach for their goals. They ensure that their employees know that the company expects them to think strategically and articulate what they are, and they are not trying to do. They trust that the employee will seek to understand rather then reacting being able to maintain calm during stressful situations. The employee is expected to demonstrated consistent strong performance and set the example to their peers. This also allows the …show more content…
I trust that having such a domain, to the point that is so ferocious in regards to performance can create an unsettle environment to work in. It is important to provide an employee the opportunity to showcase their skills and be provided the tools needed to do so. In this situation the employee might not be given the opportunity to shine and work on areas they are not that great in, it boils down to will or skill. If the skill is not there, it can be learned, but if there’s no will then a different approach is needed. The company is taking the risk of letting go of employees who may have high potential to grow and learn as well as lead the company to success. Using growth and recognition as an intrinsic value in place of high performance could results into a beneficial opportunity to Netflix (Herzberg. F, 2007). By providing the tools needed to succeed in a career with the company and recognizing an employee, can motivate and encourage employees who are in an entry level position to aspire and work hard to move up the chain. Performance can be measured by the two values. This will also allow the company to protect themselves from any negativity if an employee is let go, by ensuring that they are doing everything possible to help an employee succeed. The actions and plans the company took to help the employee, permits Netflix to express that open doors were given to …show more content…
I don't agree with Netflix in their plan of employee development. “We develop people by giving them the opportunity to develop themselves, by surrounding them with stunning collages and giving them big challenges to work on” (Hastings, slide 118, 2009). It is important for Netflix to provide training tools, a plan to help its employees reach their short and long term goals. As Herzberg states, “the job enrichment movement is to give people the opportunity to use their ability” (Herzberg, F., 2007). As mentioned earlier, it is important to identify if the employee is not succeeding due to skill or will. If an employee is expected to open their own doors, own 100% of their development it without guidance it can be very challenging and discouraging. Not every employee learns the same way or gets motivated the same, having the opportunity for a manger to oversee a success plans allows the management team see what challenges can create learning and successful opportunities. An intrinsic value that could joined to this is to demonstrate that employees are esteemed through profession development. By doing so it will allow the company to This will permit them to expand obligation and give significant and fascinating work (Herzberg. F, 2007). Through motivation, training, career development plans and showing recognition for their work will continue a positive and healthy work environment. “Employee
The optimal scenario of the AHA would be to have a differentiated workforce that would consist of identifying "A" players and "A" positions throughout the organization where wealth or value is created to contribute to the bottom line of generating the billion-dollar goal by 2010 and placing those players in all positions throughout the organization. However, the reality is that the best action for the AHA due to budgetary and time constraints is to make strategic investments in the workforce that will have high impact and drive desired results by putting the right people in the right places and not the right people everywhere. The AHA did this by creating a new talent framework driven by eight operational goals to help build the foundation for how they will identify their "A" players and positions for strategic investment. The objecti...
In a business or a workplace, it is essential for the organization, which consists of the employers, the managers, and their employees, to work towards reward programs within the human resources in order to create a healthy and cordial work environment and most importantly, to efficiently achieve business’ goals. In Carol Patton’s (2013) article, Rewarding Best Behaviors, she explains the importance of several companies that are beginning to recognize their employees, not just for the end-results, but for reflecting good behaviors towards the business’ values, such as demonstrating creativity on certain projects, problem solving towards certain issues, and also collaborating with fellow co-workers. Patton stresses that these reward programs could help suffice the overall being of a company as long as the rewarded behaviors correlate with the corporate strategy. Patton expresses that some things human resources must comprehend include “how its company creates success, what drives its business strategy and what behaviors are needed from employees to achieve that success” (Patton, 2013 para. 15). Moreover, the employee would be reflected as a role model for others and perhaps influence them to demonstrate comparable behaviors.
Target’s core employee development strategy is to embrace, teach, and model concrete behaviors that will lead to higher levels of individual and system performance and excellence. Some of these objectives include teaching employees to perform at the highest level in a current position, manage internal and external environmental changes, increase promotability, and contribute directly through all outputs towards to common company goal. Each position in the company has a set list of guidelines for core behaviors and expectations. This set of guidelines are used to measure each individual employee and the achievement of these goals can help these employees progress their careers at Target. Linkage to performance plans also help in the development of employees. In these performance management training sessions, HR staff help employees develop a sense of understanding about the core values associated with striving for excellence, obtaining results, and other characteristics of high-performing organizations. Employees learn to communicate these core behaviors, and this gives all employees a clear understanding to what it takes to be a high performer. Another very important aspect for Target leadership is to identify and develop future positions. This creates back-ups for each position in the store to ensure seamless transitions if a current employee leaves or is terminated. Performance management is measured not only on individual employee basis, but also by the company as a whole. We will observe the company’s performance compared to its biggest rival Walmart. Based on recent stats we were able to compare the two companies in several aspects as
...he company which suggests that if you examine managerial styles and work to improve employee satisfaction there will be a correlational increase in productivity and retention. It suggests that perhaps people leave companies not because they are unsatisfied with their work or pay, but rather, because they are unsatisfied with their manager. While this idea might seem brash, it is a significant point being made that suggests that in order to see improvement you need to revamp a program or company from the top. Having worked as both an entry level worker and a managerial supervisor, I can testify to the importance of manager support, appreciation, and feedback and how this impacts your role in the company. Seeking out the strengths in employees, though it seems so obvious in theory, is a revolutionary way to transform the work environment and employee morale.
A critical SWOT analysis of Netflix’s social media techniques clearly shows they are ahead of the game and not backing down from rising competitors like YouTube which is gaining viewers by increasing the amount of online content.
In conclusion, the vast technology change opens many opportunities for Netflix to grow. By assessing the market environment and challenges, it enables Netflix to overcome the obstacles to remain as the market leader. To achieve the future growth, Netflix should implement both strategic and tactical approaches to compete with others. The strategic and tactical business plans for Netflix are improving content libraries, developing more partnership with production firms, and staying with the low-pricing strategy.
Netflix says that they do not need to offer as many special bonuses because as the article states” If your employees are fully formed adults who put the company first, an annual bonus won 't make them work harder or smarter" (Nisen). They believe that if they hire people who put everything into the company the pay they offer will be enough. To figure out what they should be paid Netflix went out and scouted to see what people were making in similar jobs. At Netflix they do benchmarking. Benchmarking is when a company compares its practices to the competitors (Noe489). Netflix also realizes that there workers can be scouted. So instead of getting mad they tell the people to talk to the recruiter see what they will pay them then tell the HR department because to them that information is very valued and it may end up helping in the end (Bear).
The video rental industry began with brick and mortar store that rented VSH tape. Enhanced internet commerce and the advent of the DVD provided a opportunity for a new avenue for securing movie rentals. In 1998 Netflix headquartered in Los Gatos California began operations as a regional online movie rental company. While the firm demonstrated that a market for online rentals existed, it was not financially successfully. Netflix lost over $11 million in 1998 and as a result significantly changed the business model in 2000. The new strategy included focusing on becoming a nationally based subscription model and focusing on enhancing the subscribers experience on their website. The change in strategic focus has allowed Netflix to grow into the largest online entertainment subscriptions service in the United States with over 6.3 million subscribers (Netflix).
Reed Hastings, co-founder of Netflix headquartered in Los Gatos, CA, began the company’s operations in 1997 after receiving an enormous late charge from a movie rental he returned long overdue. However, Hastings had the desire to be different than traditional movie outlets; whereas, customers had to drive to the location, pay a certain amount for each movie they rented, and were given a deadline in which to return the movie. Instead of using a method established by other video markets “to attract customers to a retail location, Netflix offered home delivery of DVDs through the mail” which eventually led to a booming business towards streaming forms of entertainment (Shih, Kaufman, & Spinola, 2009, p. 3). Direct and indirect competitors, along with outside obstacles, to a greater extent present a financial threat for Netflix. As a result, Netfl...

Today, Netflix exists along with several competitors; however, offers the most streaming content available for viewing, and continues to grow its subscriber base both domestically and globally. Although, direct and indirect competitors, acquisition costs, and several barriers present a financial threat for Netflix, the company has managed to grow with the acclamation of partnerships, expand to international territories, and vastly increase its price in shares of stock.
