Unit 9 Assignment

The technology company I work for faces a critical challenge threatens its business
operations and ethical standing. From a business perspective, we are experiencing an alarming
turnover rate among skilled personnel who leave the company after half a year to a year of
employment. This rapid departure of skilled professionals is having a severe impact on our
ability to complete client software projects on schedule. As a result, we are not only facing
dissatisfied clients but also potential loss of contracts and damage to our hard-earned reputation
in the industry. The constant need to recruit and train new expert-level employees is
undoubtedly incurring significant costs and reducing our overall productivity and efficiency.
From an ethical standpoint, the situation is equally concerning. Our initial investigations
have revealed that our compensated, permanent employees at this skill level are frequently at
work for more than 40 hours or more per week. This practice raises serious ethical questions in
regard to their work-life balance, worker well-being, and just labor practices. By expecting such
excessive work hours without additional compensation, we are essentially exploiting our
employees' dedication and expertise. This approach not only disregards their personal lives and
well-being but also goes against principles of fair and ethical employment practices, a situation
that we cannot afford to ignore.
