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

The most demotivating part of Harper’s job is not being able to get the recognition that she fully deserves from the amount of work she is putting in for the company. As for that, losing the main person who was able to give her the same amount of work that she was putting in had to let go and became something that Harper had to get use to the situation despite the work relationship they must’ve built together. With her new boss David, she loses that connection she once had with Jose and now lacks that ability to cooperate at a good level to ensure that work is being kept up a good pace. With that, it brings down the motivation to continue working under her new boss David due to the lack of communication and ability to keep up with the work balance since Harper is doing more than what she has been doing.

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

I would do my best to set up a meeting with David to reassure everything that’s not working out in the company, coming up with positives and negatives to seek out a plan to re-engage Harper. Make sure that the boss is fully aware of how employees need to checked out on a daily basis and be kept a level where there is a good balance of work and happiness. If both those don’t present themselves, it can bring such a decrease of happiness at the workplace which makes the employees feel unstable to continue working at any place that they don’t feel wanted or appreciated at. I would also make sure that David is showing good communication to not just Harper but throughout all the workers to make sure they are all on the same direction to reaching the company’s goal.

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

The downside of losing Harper as an employee is losing someone with passion and dedication towards her company no matter what. Loyalty as well due to her being at the same company ever since she had finished college after 22. She’s been there for 4 years. Having a person that brings good energy along with a good work ethic needs to be appreciated and looked at as an important figure to the workplace. Not much workers at any workplace bring that sort of style compared to Harper where she even stayed dedicated when the work was piling up on her even though eventually it had gotten to a limit where she couldn’t handle it any longer. At any cost, keeping an employee like Harper is something that needs to assured 100%.
