Book excerpt: Managing the diverse workforce in a global environment requires adaptation of organizations policies and practices to the differences among countries and cultures. In this project, employment laws and employer responsibilities are identified for key topics in three different locations. The project was prepared for Aqua Lung, a worldwide organization that develops, manufactures and distributes technical life support, water safety, fitness and recreation products around the world. The locations researched were Melbourne Australia, Victoria Canada and Mexicali Mexico. Each location has their own chapter in the project with guidelines on employer requirements and best practices for each key topic set forth in a handbook format. The analysis compares employer’s requirements in each location to employer’s requirements in California. Most of the employer’s obligations and requirements are similar for the locations but the main difference lies in greater benefits or stricter rules. To meet employer’s obligations and requirements it is recommended that employers establish internal guidelines for rules and procedures in the workplace. Employers are required to provide employees with information regarding labor laws and regulations in each location and every employee should be made familiar with the internal guidelines. Employers have the responsibility to provide a healthy and safe workplace. To do that it is recommended that employers set clear health and safety rules and host regular health and safety seminars to make sure employees are aware of health and safety procedures. To keep the workplace clear of discrimination and harassment, employers should have processes that prevent those acts from happening and set clear rules on how these matters will be handled if they occur. It is the employer’s responsibility to keep employee information private and it is recommended that employers set standards and procedures on how to gather, use and disclose employee information. An employer should make sure that every employee receives at least the minimum benefits and compensation they are entitled to by law. Employers should treat employees fairly and equally. It is recommended that employers develop policies and standards for employee compensation to ensure fair treatment. When employers operate in the global environment their requirements and obligations differ from one country to the next. Employers need to adapt to differences among countries while still maintaining the company culture and values. Employers should set clear internal rules and policies for each workplace that honor the global company practices while being in compliance with local laws and regulations.
