Compliance requirements are categorized into two: internal and external compliance requirements (Parker and Nielsen, 2011). External requirements are those imposed on the company by the government. An annual report is one of the elements required from the company and their payment ought to be given to them. Internal requirements are the actions that are to be taken within the company or expected by stakeholders of the company like the managers, shareholders, or the members. However, most internal requirements are overlooked by the company. These elements are important in cases like when selling the company or in the event of a lawsuit.

In DirecTV, training the employees to be familiar with the legal requirements is important. DirecTV has an average of 260 employees. Educating them and making sure, they know the conditions reduces the risks for them being in problems. The idea of the compliance requirements ensures that the company act responsibly.

DirecTV will avoid facing criminal charges since there are laws and regulations on managing the staff, how its stocks are handled, airing of programs and the type of news to be delivered to the people. As long as a company has a proper compliance kit and proper management according to the requirements, it will stay on the right side of the law. Moreover, knowing and implementing these requirements builds a good reputation for the company, attracting more customers and sponsors.

Having a diverse workforce means that the company should have employees from all professions related to DirecTV. The employees should be talented and have a broad assortment of ideas and experiences. DirecTV is a satellite entertainment company that needs creative minds. The employees should be trained to be creative. The company should involve them by having an association with them in listening and have a culture of reciprocated respect. Diversity also involves the company to be diverse in its services and products to their customers. It will promote the company’s prestige and attract more customers. No discrimination in the company, the employees are from women, young professionals, lesbians, gays, transgender, and bisexual employees, all with different backgrounds (Mascull, 2010). They all have some unique and diverse talents that benefit the company. After employees are trained to be diverse, they can get promotions, better employment opportunities and possibly a high salary.

Coaching

As the time progresses, ways and traditions of a company also change. When these changes happen, the company cannot decide to employ new employees, but rather it can coach the existing one of the new ways. Coaching the employees benefits the company b reducing the costs on employing new ones and saving time to look for other employees. DirecTV can coach their employees on the progressing changes that are made in the company. Recently, DirecTV has become the subsidiary of AT&T. Therefore, this means that the company will have to coach its employees on the new strategies formed by their new ‘parent.’ The organization will gain employees with many ideas and familiar with their new position as a company. On the other hand, the employees will have experienced new ways of doing their work making it easier to be in AT&T. The organization here works with the employees to attain new goals, action plan, and timeline (Alvord 2012). The supervisor will not only be the employees superior but can also be their confidant.
