• What do you think is the most demotivating part of Harper’s job?

There are a lot of demotivating aspects about Harper’s job. The fact that she has to take on additional assignments now with the departure of her former manager. She also has a terrible work/life balance. I think the most demotivating part is the fact that she does not get recognized for her work because David manages so many people.

• If you were an HR manager meeting with Harper’s supervisor, David, what advice would you give to help them re-engage Harper?

In order to reengage Harper, I would do several things. First I would establish clear expectations and objectives. This way, she will know exactly what she needs to do and if shes doing work that she knows is valuable. I would also make her feel valued because she feels like she is losing a voice in the company. So I would want her to know that I hear her. Finally I would make sure she has a positive work life balance because at the end of the day I would not want her to feel burdened.

• What would be the downside of losing Harper as an employee?

I think the downside would be losing an employee who already knows what they are doing so they are more productive. It would demorale current employees. It would also create a bad work culture where employees may have to second guess if they did something wrong.
