- What do you think is the most demotivating part of Harper’s job?
In my opinion, the most devastating part about Harper’s job is that she is being overwhelmed by work and is losing her balance between her life and work duties. On top of that she is taking more responsibility to fill in a place that is not technically hers since she is covering some of the work that her old boss Jose used to do. It is also pretty unfortunate that she is not getting the recognition she deserves for the work she is doing.
2. If you were an HR manager meeting with Harper’s supervisor, David, what advice would you give to help them re-engage Harper?
If I was the HR manager I would advise David to be more comprehensive with his workers like Harper especially since she likes her job. Her job went from being something she liked doing to something that is causing her problems and issues so David should communicate with the workers more and try to aid them in any way possible. More than a boss he should try and build a relationship with his workers so they have more confidence in coming to him for any problems or difficulties with he job and so he could gain more trust in them as well. He should also value his employees a lot more and give them the recognition they deserve such as Harper who is doing more work than she should to cover a spot that was left empty by her old boss leaving.
3. What would be the downside of losing Harper as an employee?
The downsides of losing Harper as an employee would be that first David would have to find somebody to do the work Harper used to do including the extra work she was doing if not then he himself would have to do the work. More importantly, he would be losing a worker that actually likes doing her job which would be a big loss since that Is hard to find in some workers.
