Hello Everyone,

The organization I chose for my final project is my current employer, East Penn manufacturing. We currently utilize a system very similar to the ISO 26000. This system allows HR to keep track of employment turnover rates, satisfaction, years of service, and ensures we are meeting equity, diversion, and inclusion standards. The business office also utilizes this feature to track consumer satisfaction and price points for comparison, financial performance of all products offered and a charting system that shows product reliability and demand. 

In my opinion, the current vision of the company does align with the organizational strategies that they have had implemented prior to the start of using this system. East Penn has been a large contributing factor for the local organization United Way for decades and also promotes environmentally friendly materials and sustainable products. They have also been named one of Pennsylvania's Top rated employers for the last twenty years because of everything they offer for employees and community members. This is all mentioned in their website which I encourage you all to visit and browse through. I am proud to be a training leader with this company and look forward to utilizing my degree to move further up in the company. Have a great week everyone!
