Question: Discuss the new rules introduced by the organization Fluor Corporation. Answer: Introduction Fluor Corporation is a multinational engineering construction situated in California. The organization was founded by John Simon Fluor in the year 1912 (Fluor.com 2016). The organization has flourished its business over the years and is spread across the world. In this assignment, the researcher has discussed the new rule which has been introduced by the organization. The rule will be implemented for all the employees of the organization. Additionally, the researcher has also tried to find out the whether the implication of the new law has created a positive or negative effect on the minds of the employees. Discussion Fluor Corporation is an engineering construction company with its headquarters in Irving Texas in the United States (Fluor.com 2016). The organization has also diversified its business in the field of Oil and gas, power and even in government projects. The organization has employee strength of over thirty-seven thousand and generates revenue of 1.2 billion US dollars (Fluor.com 2016). Fluor Corporation always looks after the welfare of the employees in the organization and has introduced a new bonus policy. According to Damoah and Ntsiful, (2016), the organization provides week off to its employees every Saturday and Sunday. According to this new policy, the employees can enjoy an extra holiday or a week off every alternative Friday (Devonish, 2013). In order to enjoy the benefit, the working hours on normal weekdays will increase by one to two hours. The employees have to work for a period of nine hours forty-five minutes in a day. The new timings will be from 6.45 am to 4.30 pm. On the alternative Friday, the employees would have to work for a period of only eight hours. A survey conducted by the organization shows that near about 94 percent of the employees supported the new policy (Frenkel, Sanders Bednall, 2013). In the recent days it has been found that most organizations are shortening their weekends whereas Fluor Corporation is increasing the week offs According to Kinnunen et al., (2015), the new policy will refresh the minds of the employees and will increase their productivity level. The organization intends to implement this new policy during the summer season. The main reason behind this action is that, during the summer season, the employees want to spread more time with their family and children. This was proved by a survey among the employees (Poole, 2013). The top management have said that the new policy is feasible because the state labor law has been changed. According to Shaout, and Khalid Yousif, (2014), the policy was also economically good because before the implication of the law the organization has to pay the employees for their overtime work. Fluor Corporation is using the policy for the companys own benefit." With the help of this new policy, the organization is also able to reduce the cost incur of the company. Fluor Corporation is also able to structure the timing of 40 hours according to their benefit. This policy if successful will also be implemented in the next summer. Extra week off will help the employees to spend quality time with their family members. As stated by Tansel and Gazolu, (2014), the employees can share their time with their close friends, relatives or other members. It has also been found that extra week off is also helpful in solving the personal problems of the individuals. An extra week off for the e mployees will also help them to plan the work they will do in the coming weeks. A planning process will help both the organization and employees to achieve their target and goal (Frenkel, Sanders Bednall, 2013). A positive learning for the employees The employees can also use their weekend to enhance themselves by gaining different knowledge from the website. The employees can also go through different books which will also help them in enhancing their knowledge. According to Damoah and Ntsiful, (2016), the employees may also join different clubs and classes to develop their skills. The classes can be in the field of dancing, singing or even playing different instruments. Employees can also do yoga and meditation. Yoga and meditation will help the employees to keep themselves aloof from the daily workload. These will help the employees to remain focused at times of difficulties. I will also implement this extra weekend policy in my organization. The extra weekend policies will help my employees to remain focused in their job during the week days. The employees will also feel that the organization is thinking about the welfare of the employees, and this will be beneficial for my organization. A close bonding will be created between the employees and the top management. In my organization, the pay structure is on a weekly basis. Before implementation of the new policy, I have to pay a lot of the money because the employees perform over time duty. On implementation of this law, the expenditure of the organization will also reduce to a large extent. This will be beneficial for my organization. The employees will also have an extra week of off the alternative Fridays which will make them remain focused on their job. All these factors will help my organization to remain a step ahead of the competitors. Conclusion The researcher has thoroughly discussed the different facilities which Fluor Corporation will enjoy on giving an extra week off every alternative Friday. The implementation of the new policy will help the individuals to remain focused on their jobs and increase the productivity of the organization. The employees can also spend a lot of time with their family members, and this will maintain a proper work balance. The employees will also feel that the organization is looking after their well-being, and this will increase the trust of the employees towards the organization. References Damoah, J. O., Ntsiful, A.
