Good morning Class and Professor

The truth of the matter is, in the workplace there are two groups of people. One’s who relates to the numbers and the ones who focus on the actions. When you think in terms of management. That’s the area where the numbers and graphs are the focus. Whereas when you think about entry level workers, they don’t understand the world of numbers. There’s more comfort in simply hearing if business is good or bad.

I worked as a Safety Coordinator and had to compile graphs weekly for management and place them on the boards throughout the plant for associates to see. It was not surprising to me to see how low the numbers were of associates took the time to stop and view the charts and graphs.
