Answer to Question #175127 in Management for Thùy Dương

Question

Starbuck case application: Howard Schultz says, “We all want the same thing as people—to be respected and valued as employees and appreciated as customers.” Does the company respect and value its partners (employees)? Explain. What do you think this implies for its employee relationships?

Answer 1

Yes, the company values and respects its employees. In Starbucks, there are many employee benefits, including medical, vision plans and dental. The organization offers a respectful attitude towards its workers and often communicates to its partners through weekly meetings and surveys. This implies that the worker's relationship is encouraged by the company to ensure they are kept motivated to work for and be productive in both their lives and the company.
