Challenges Faced by
Employees
Employees face challenges at some time during their career life.
Cultural Difference

Unrealistic expectations
Loyalty issues
Issue of shift work
Work under pressure
Cultural Difference
In this company the main challenge faced by the employees is the interact with cultural difference. There may be language, religion, and values differences. So the employees should have a better understand
about them to face the current situations.
Job Performance
Employees who work for companies that conduct regular performance appraisals face challenges in performing their job duties according to their employer's expectations. Employers may provide detailed job
descriptions, performance standards and all the tools an employee needs to do his job.
Workplace Relationships
In many work environments, employees enjoy friendly relationships with their co workers. And, Challenges like these usually become the responsibility of a human resources department that can provide
diversity training for the entire workforce.
Ineffective Leadership
This creates a challenge for both sides and often may only be resolved by human resources intervention or through a frank discussion between the
supervisor and employee about their differences..
Changing of Management
In this case employees are facing internally themselves in resistance to change at the same time they have to add to a new work environment on the other hand their facing communication conflicts as well. Challenges
like these usually become the responsibility of a human resources department that can provide diversity training for the entire work place.
Work-Life Balance
In addition, scheduling family obligations such as child care, school meetings or care for an ailing family member can also present challenges for employees. Employers who realize this offer benefits packages that
include telecommuting or flexible scheduling, and generous paid time off to accommodate their employees.
Issue of shift work
Employees should have to work for the shift basis so the employees will get some stress on their mind to work with changing regular time frames
that they used to.
Work under pressure
All employees in the company should have an ability to work under pressure as company needs their optimum effectively.
