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.
