1. Put yourself in the role of the motel maid. What physical changes could be made to enhance the job?
To start with, the physical changes that should be made are stipulated as follows; Putting in place a standard operating procedure (SOP), this will ensure that the assigned tasks to each maid are completed with a lot of consistency, in a standardized manner, economic way and also under a safe environment for the maids themselves. This SOP will then mean a happier customer base, a higher efficiency within the organization as a whole and fewer accidents realized in the organization (Motels, 2009). Healthy Work Environment (HWE) is another physical change that should be implemented in the motel so as to ensure that not just the patrons are safe but the maids as well.

There should be air conditioners installed and the fire exit constructed and a general adherence to the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act catering for the safety of the maids (University of Virginia, 2010).
