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

I think that the most demotivating part of Harper’s job is that she doesn’t get any recognition for her work and she doesn’t get acknowledged or appreciated by her new manager. My reason for this statement is that when you don’t get recognition you tend to lose motivation and don’t want to keep moving forward in a company if you feel depreciated.

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

Advice that I would give David is to make more time to meet with Harper and communicate with her, acknowledge the work and reward her with attention and other things to make her feel like she is bringing value to the team, and to give her feedback so she knows what to improve on and she knows how well she is performing on a day to day basis.

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

The downside of losing Harper is that the team will be backed up on work and everything would be delays because other people have to help take care of her responsibilities while having to worry about theirs at the same time.
