I believe the most demotivating part of Harper’s job is the fact that Harper is feeling lost and under appreciated. She loves the company she works at but her fall out with her old boss, the overload of work, and the feeling that she is the only one who is trying is making her fall out of love. If I was a HR manager meeting with David, the advice I would give him to reengage harper is, simply make her feel appreciated and let her know that all the work she is doing is being noticed. Not only that but I would also tell David to fill Jose’s old role so she can have less work to do, and give her a raise for everything she has done for the company. The downside of loosing harper as an employee is that the company would be loosing not only a hard hard worker, but someone who genuinely loves the company and the work done there. It’s hard to come across an employee who is in it for more than money. Not only that but the company would have to find someone new and just as hardworking as harper which in the end will be a waste of time, money, and resources.

The advice you give to David is good but could be better. Harper has been employed at the company for the last four years. I don’t think she simply wants to be verbally acknowledged and given a raise for her work. She should be shown she is appreciated by getting promoted to fill her boss’ position. She has shown that she has the work ethic, the drive, and the passion to succeed in the company and these traits alone prove she is and will always be an asset. Imagine what she can do for this company if only they did not take her for granted. Imagine what she can do for this company if only they saw her potential and made it their mission to help her flourish.
Hi, Emily, I agree what Yaritza wrote, unfairness at work is frustrating . She was not getting the credit for her work. But at the same time , it’s hard to confront your boss about issue. Alter all, whatever your boss says goes, right? I don’t think so. This is why HR needed to step in. Shame on David for the lack of communication.
Thank you for Sharing.

I agree with you when you stress that Harper’s motivation, potential, and dedication come from her passion. Plus, as you mentioned, using that passion like a jack will help the business to exploit her full potential.
