Business Class Paper

My Chosen Organization:

FM Auto Sales I have selected the organization FM Auto Sales for my assignment, as small

used car dealership, and I have been with this organization for almost 3 years. It is over all a great organization to work for but just like any other organization, it has its own issues as well. I will be discussing one of the issues and analyze it for this assignment.

The biggest issue we have been dealing with is regarding employees stealing money and dishonesty. We always have one or 2 employees that somehow steal money as we deal with large cash from car sales. I have come to know few different ways they steal money and each time we try to make changes to stop that issue, we still cannot stop it completely.

This issue does affect the revenue of the company as well as high turnover. Finding good honest employees has been a challenge for the company and we still run into those employees who are not honest and steal. Also constantly firing and hiring new employees is challenge of its own as its time consuming and comes with lots of paperwork as well.
