* Maintaining
PremiumSoft was proud of the work environment and benefits it provided to their employees, and saw this as their way to give back for the hard work and dedication all of their employees gave. Lin knew that in order to meet the needs of the company, more employees were needed and he needed to be able to continue to move this company into the future with the same status the company had. The growing needs would be what Lin would set out to maintain PremiumSoft’s status.
Issue Statement With the growth that PremiumSoft was expecting in the coming months/ years, Lin and Choi both knew they had to increase their staff size and maintain a status quo for the overall direction of the company. They knew maintaining the comfortable environment for current and future employees was one thing they could not falter. They also knew that with all of the growing technologies and demands for this, they had to continue in their excellence with their products and keep the engagement up between developers and consumers.
