Learning organization survey analysis in my trading company.

By Rainbow

The data of this survey is from the trading company where I had my internship.

Background of this trading company

The company is a big company which exports clothes and it has its subsidiaries as well as its own clothes factories. In my perspective, no matter the management or operation in this company is very good, but in terms of the items from the learning organization survey, it deserves an analysis.

As can be seen from the graph, the scores of my company are not so high according to the percent located in the building blocks. The results are located either in bottom quartile or second quartile.

As our company is very practical and it is associated with trade, so it lacks in Experimentation. However, on the whole, there is still much to be improved in that the turnover rate is so high. I am not so sure about the information collection since I only worked for six months. Actually the communication between the headquarter and subsidiaries and factories. Next is the analysis. There is adequate time for the staff to reflect and self-analysis at least in my department. But the degree varies in other departments. Our company pays great attention to education and training. Every new staff will receive training regularly and people who move to new positions will receive corresponding training, but I think the effectiveness of the training can be further improved. As for information transfer, I think there is formal and casual communication between the team managers and the team members. If there is branch point, we can solve it by discussing. However, most of the time the managers are the decisions makers, so I think it would be better if there is some communication channels such as the forum.

Our company values reflection and staff will be evaluated with respect to their work performance and social activities. As I feel there is relatively strong sense of hierarchy in our company, so there is less spark for new ideas. This may be a weak point to be improved. In conclusion, a company should be well-organized, so that every member in this company will feel satisfied and rewarded.
