Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take.

Petabytes of data is getting generated on a daily basis which gives and insight into the people's and a nation's life in general. With the growing data in the world it becomes all the more necessary for every company to keep a health check on its data in all form. Hence I support the argument that company management should conduct routine monitoring of all employee email correspondence. As per the guidelines created for all public companies listed on share market are required to keep data privacy. Failure to adhere to these directly results in cancellation of trade license and a irrevocable damage to a company's reputation. A policy of regular audit if being implemented will help a company assess that any insider trading information is being disclosed and assess whether the employees are adhering to non-disclosure policy or not. There have been incidences in past when insider information has been circulated in market and big companies have faced massive losses due to such malpractice. A regular audit of the emails correspondence of email will help company gauge their compliance. Another aspect related to such monitoring is related to how well a a company is doing post sales during warranty period. Usually every company has a helpline email but people often complain that once they purchase something or place an order there is no forum for them which actively addresses their grievances . This situation is applicable right from online apps catering to every facet of a routine life. For example we order food on an app and we are not satisfied with the quality of food delivered then we use customer helpline number or customer care email address to show our grievances. A regular audit of emails can help a company understand if such grievances are being addressed rightly and whether the employees need more training to address any customer's grievances properly. Another aspect of implementation of this policy is it will help create any company create employee productivity index.Such audits are necessary to understand where the employees are spending the time allocated to them in the office hours. Any employee engaging in using company email address for personal communication can be penalized and someone who is using the office emails diligently and keeping customer satisfaction on highest priority can be rewarded accordingly. These kind of audits will also help a company ensure that employees are not engaging in any malpractice related to IP theft. For any company it is absolutely necessary that its intellectual property is protected. These timely audits will help a company keep a check on this. While it is necessary that such audits should be implemented but it is also important that employees should feel that they are being trusted in what they are doing. These audits are important from the point of view of greater good of keeping a company's health in check. I would like to conclude that company management should conduct routine monitoring of all employee email correspondence.

Analytical Writing: - Issue Essay All too often, companies hire outside consultants to suggest ways for the company to operate more efficiently.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with these statements and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statements might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. My response: - There is a trend going in the market among the companies of all the domains ranging from financial services, e-commerce etc. to hire outside consultants to assist them to operate more efficiently. Consultants are necessity in today's working culture. How many times it has been said," If companies were to spent more time listening to their own employees, such consultants would be unnecessary". I disagree with the statement. Many companies might relate and will be in full consent with the statement. But there is difference between action and words. Over the years, there are companies which have made guidelines to create a convivial environment with employees like feedback forms, recreational activities etc but all went in vain when it comes to implementation. There is a dearth from the employees side of things as well as many times they aren't able to articulate their opinions to subordinates or managers. These affect their work life balance which alters their efficiency. Consultants with their expertise and ability to delve into the particular domain is what makes companies hire them. Consultants uses cutting edge and latest tools, and techniques to produce results. Employees might not be acquainted with these tools. The results and expertise that consultants provide can be scrutinized again by employees to improve the efficiency. Consultants are able to extract out the profound emotions, more vivid ideas and articulated opinions from the employees as they know which areas to target. Client employees when working with consultants feels an ease to express his emotions. Employees are cogent and resolute while working with consultants while within their own company, they may act taciturn. Companies only looks to maximize their profits and doesn't delve into the employee satisfaction, work life balance. By hiring consultants, they make sure they are inculcating all the resources including their employees, profit, efficiency into a single place.
