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

The most demotivating part of Harper’s job is definitely the feeling of the lack of support, that is being provided to her to help understand the tasks being added. With this lack of support, there is also a possibility of feeling disconnected from the rest of her team.

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

Based on the methods that were mentioned from the article, I think three methods could be used in order to help re-engage harper and make her feel connected to her entire team. The first method I believe that would be good is to have her speak her mind about what is going on with her situation and have her speak as clearly as possible with David. This should help Harper feel to have less of a burden on her shoulders for the time being. The second method I think would help would be for her to feel some appreciated as she is tackling more than she was used to handling for tasks and trying to step up on her part as well. The third method that ties in with this would be to help her have less tasks on her plate in order to prevent burnout as it seems like she is reaching that point.

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

The downside of losing Harper as an employee would be that it would have one less person on the team which means her tasks would have to be given to someone or split amongst others and causing slower productivity and a decrease in morale. There is also how the team and David will be viewed inside their work environment if there were to lose Harper as it would look like many people are choosing to leave the group/company since Jose left.
