Organisational profile: Pick n Quick - Retail Industry We are an Australian owned and operated company with a nationwide presence of retail convenience stores. We operate based on a franchising model and have more than 60 stores in Queensland, and another 30 spread across most of the capital cities around Australia. We offer quality and value through our stores which are stocked with quality products and groceries. While the majority of our stores operate as convenience stores with a number of product lines, quite a few stores carry a larger range of groceries, fresh food and deli items aiming to deliver an in-depth shopping experience offering fast service, more choice and more value to our customers. We are a medium sized business and employ about 45 employees in our head office. We have had slow growth over the past few years. While growth has been slow, we are not surprised due to the unfavourable economic conditions. Our franchisees are our partners and deliver excellent service and value to our customers, which has enabled our company to still add a couple of new stores in the past 18 months. Together with our franchise business partners, we have consistently set high standards benchmarking with the best in the industry. White we have done an excellent job at delivering quality and value to our loyal customer thus far, we are worried that the recent investigation that exposed the shocking exploitation of workers in the retail industry may have implications for our brand. We need to take steps proactively to ensure that our franchise business partners adhere to ethical and legal business practices, whilst remaining profitable. Business Issue: Given the issues of unethical employment practices and the increased regulatory scrutiny in the retail industry, what changes should be made to the way the organisation works with its franchisees?Assessment 3 - Business Report Task instructions Context You are a member of the management group of your chosen organisation.
