ANSWERS:

PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

 Structural Job Characteristics: Structural characteristics are defined by job

performance expectations, such as job scheduling, the consequences of making
a mistake, latitude of independent decision making, and whether the job is largely
unstructured or requires a lot of repetitious tasks.

 Clean and comfortable office: Working in a clean and comfortable office can have
tremendous effects on the interactions among colleagues. Even if your office
does not get the sunlight, try to make an effort to provide a relaxing atmosphere
with comfortable furniture, working equipment and add a few work lights to make
it brighter.

 Interpersonal Relationships: All jobs require some type of contact with others, but
the nature and frequency of this contact varies from job to job. Work conditions in
this category may include working with customers, making "cold calls" by
telephone or in-person, working with people who are hostile or potentially
dangerous, regular public speaking, answering phones or responding to email.

 Emergency Standards- Portable fire extinguishers can be an effective early

response to a developing fire, if they are installed and used properly. In this
section, we are going to review general information about the placement and
spacing of portable fire extinguishers.
o If employees use portable fire extinguishers to fight small fires, they must
be installed in all areas of the workplace.
  Health Benefit Package- Health insurance is the foundation of any
comprehensive employee benefits package that employees want and need, and
it is the preferred employee benefit of the majority of people who work.Quality
health insurance marks an employer as an employer of choice when desirable
candidates select job opportunities. If you can afford to offer only one employee
benefit, make that benefit health insurance for employees and their families.

 Work Location means, as applicable, either the specific place or places of

employment, or the territory or territories regularly. visited by the person in
pursuance of the person's occupation, or both. and it means a location in a
factory at which a worker works or may be required to work at any time during
any shift on any day.

Non Physical Envrionment

 Health and safety standards: Federal law requires employers to provide a safe
working environment and to provide workers with protection against hazards,
such as eye protection, gloves and decontamination facilities.

Workplace rules: Many states have laws that restrict work hours or require employers to
provide paid breaks to employees.

 Enforcement of workplace contracts: An employer may provide workers with

specific accommodations or work conditions that are specified in an employment
contract. These agreements are usually binding and employers should expect to
be held to contract terms that define work hours, physical work conditions and
expectations regarding work responsibilities and tasks.

Comply with workplace condition laws and regulations can result in fines, lawsuits
from injured or disgruntled employees and bad publicity. Understanding your
responsibilities, and exceeding them, can protect your business against legal trouble.

 Avoiding Discriminatory Language and Biased Ad Distribution

While providing an accurate description of working conditions is important both for

making a good hire and. protecting a company against possible legal issues, it is also
important for small business owners to discern between language that accurately
describes a work environment and that might reflect discriminatory hiring practices.
Running all job listings by a company or third-party employment law attorney can help
prevent potential legal issues from cropping up as a result of a poorly-phrased, or
distributed, job ad.

 Team building activities: Team building activities not only bond employees closer
but also motivate them, creating a positive workplace environment. These
activities help improve internal communication and productivity, boosting morale
at the workplace and in helping employees get to know each other better. Read
our blog on Team Building Ideas for Great Staff Engagement to get some ideas.

 Break time: Another great way to create a healthy workplace environment is by

encouraging your employees to take a quick 5-minute break from their desk.
Regular breaks will assist to relieve muscle fatigue, eyestrain and to restore the
level of concentration. There are a couple of apps that you can permanently
install on your employees’ desktop, which reminds them take to a break and
stretch. Try some of these free apps such as Eyeleo or PC Work Break.

Why you want to be part of that company?

I want to be part of the company because the company has a physical and non-
physical environment that will benefit to us and will be good for us. In company, it
is very important that they will treat their people fairly and give the right benefits
that employees deserve. Taking care of their employees health also is very
important and the workplace safety for them to work comfortably or feel
comfortable during work.
