Along with its effectiveness, the City of Richmond also has problems that are not beneficial to its overall progressiveness. As I stated earlier in a previous post, there are many properties within City Hall that make work seem overbearing. One thing that I mentioned in the past is the over exaggeration of duties reported that discourages workers. Along with overreporting, technology within City Hall, is in need of a massive reboot. There are only a few employees that have all of their technology up to date. I am assuming that the overhaul on technology hasn\u2019t progressed enough because of the average age of the employees, licensing for new products, and comfortability have all been factors. There is also, for the manager and supervisors, no set time that they come in. They come and go as they please. That isn\u2019t necessarily terrible because as managers and supervisors they have earned the right to work the hours that they see fit, but some consistency with their hours would benefit the organization as a whole because it would add to the image of the company and improve the company culture from within. As a supervisor or manager, you set the standard for your office, and arriving to work at different times encourages that same behavior for your subordinates.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is also a deep seated traditional approach to all programs that limits creativity within City Hall, which again isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing because of the type of organization it is. It just prevents more creative means to promote group cohesion among workers. The biggest problem area that could be improved is how long it takes to get things accomplished. The structure of City Hall has an unbelievable amount of checks and balances that have to occur just to get one thing accomplished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
