Literature review
To identify the concept of workplace transformation within business environment.
As per the views of Verschueren, (2021) Workplace transformation is the process of
changing and making alternation in their techniques, process and technologies etc. it is to adopt
and change workplace strategies in order to drive corporate growth. Further, workplace
transformational is rethinking of the flexible workspaces to accommodate various kinds of
workers, technology and work. This will be working in the company structure and it is important
to have workplace transformation because now a days work is more complex and for that it is
necessary to make changes and alternation in their businesses environment. In relation with the
Green king organisation. They are developing something new and this will be helpful in
achievement of their aim and objectives. Further, this will be helping in generating more profits
and revenue as well. In addition, workplace transformational is having certain benefits like it
helps in empowering the employees potential and their productivity and it results in achievement
of the organisational goals and objectives. Further, some of the other benefits of having this to
adopt new normals and developing their productivity (George, Haas, and Tracey, 2021). In this
technology shapes into the new world and resulting in achievement of the organisational goals
and objectives.
To determine the ways through which major covid 19 as external event has transformed the
workplace within Green king working environment.
As per the views of Murtagh, Owen, and Simpson, (2021) While implementing of
workplace transformation after the covid 19 pandemic, the organisation have recently make
changes in their processes and technologies. But on the next hand, some of the organisation have
faces looses as well and this will be resulting in decreasing in their profit margins. Further, there
are certain changes which re coming in the working environment of green king company while
workplace transformation is changing in supply chain networks, changes in flexibility, providing
remote work to the employees an providing them training as well. This will be helpful in
achievement of their organisational goals and objectives. Further, this external event of global
pandemic has changed many of the business through their processes. As in relation with Green

7

they have provided proper working environment to the employees and this will resulting in
providing them flexibility (Hoover, and Lim, 2021).
To examine various challenges faced at a time of workplace transformational by the managers of
Green king.
As per the views of Ali, Nawaz, and Bai, (2021) Some of the challenges which is being
faced by managers of organisation while implementing workplace transformation within the
company environment. In relation with the Green king they are facing certain issues like data and
security issues, economic issues, remote working and skills shortage etc. as these issues could be
faced by developing workplace transformation. As many of the employees in green king
company does not have proper skill and knowledge about what they are performing within the
business organisation. Further, they are not working efficiently at remote working because there
is a miscommunication between manages and employees and by this efficiency gets in loss. So,
this could be developing their economics and if the economics cannot be developed then this
may lead to the issues and challenges for the company. The other is economic issues as
workplace transformational is coming due to covid 19 pandemic so if the employees always feels
changing in their business techniques and the technologies then their productivity gets reduced
and this results in reducing in employees strength (Cao, Vuong, and Do, 2021). If the employees
are not working effectively and they did not have a proper training of what they have to perform
then this results in decreasing in their productivity as well.

Research strategy: Research strategy is one of the method of research in which a
particular research strategy is selected for a specific project (Cooke, and Nunes, 2021). Some of
the strategies are action research, experimental research, case study, literature review and survey
etc. these strategies helps in achievement of the research aim and objectives. Within this
research, literature review and survey is used to gather and analyses data and information.
Literature review is used to collect in depth information about a particular topic and area of
study. Further, survey is also used to collect data through the use of charts and graphs. Literature
review brings reliable information as compared to the other method. This helps in getting reliable
information. On the next hand, survey is conducted through questionnaire method which
includes graphs and charts.
Data collection method : Data is collected through two methods, primary and secondary
method. Primary method is used to collect data through survey and the other methods. It brings
primary information which is directly collected through participants. Further, secondary data
collects theoretical data and information. In addition, the researcher is using both of the data
collection method. Primary data collects numerical informational and researcher is using
questionnaire survey in order to get direct information from respondents (Deer, and Dal Vera,
2021). This questionnaire includes close ended questions in order to get reliable and valid
information through a use of graphs and charts and tables. On the next hand, secondary data is
collected through analysing books and journals etc. within this research secondary data is
presented in the form of literature review and this will be helping in development of gaining
reliable information.
Sampling : Sampling is the method of selecting some of the samples from large number
of set of population. It consist of two methods. Probablistics and non probabilistic method of
sampling. Within this research probabilistic sampling is used to select a sample because it helps
