Application Question No 1.
What
is the major problem in this case?
Can the rift between Allison and Penny be mended?
The major problem which is considered as the big problem in
this case that is related to the communication gap among the managers and employees. As after receiving the emails of the Allison Scher and
Penny Ryan the mangers of the HR Craig Bedell got worried due to the breakdown
in communication irrevocable, and he did not notice before email, but after receiving
the email he started for the patch up for the short term problem, and he wants
to make it successful for the long term problem. Than the Craig Bedell
arranged the meeting to in the form of the Penelope for discussing the
performance of the Allison for knowing about more thing about this trouble and taking
quick decision.
When
the Allison heard his managers had arranged Penelope for discussing his performance
in the meeting that he sends the email to his manager, I was disappointed
to understanding that you have met to the
Penelope to discussing my return and you
don’t even inform me about this. I have
told you about the situation which occurs
between Penelope and me. The Allison
wrote all the position which he has faced
during the meeting with the Penelope and discussed his conversation with the Penny
Ryan which is conducted in front of the
clients, and he told him he has embraced just because of the mismanagement
of the Penny Ryan and her unplanned discussion and decision.
Allison
also said to his manager “At first, I
attributed her behavior to the fact that she was
not used to communicating from an offsite location.” I am not
satisfied with her offsite working, and
her attitude is totally against the manners of the off-site operation. This
all situation is leading towards the communication gap among the employees and
HR managers, and the case is discussed
about the conflicts which occur due to this
communication gap (Capozzi, 2019).
According
to the theory the management rules cannot be changed for supervising the people
even you don’t see you employees face to face. This theory is discussing that communicating electronically
cannot be useful as speaking with the person
face to face. There are several concepts which can be skipped during electronic communication.
Even the body language of the person cannot be
observed during electronic communication.
No doubt it is considered as the quicker way of shame,
but it cannot be adequate for resolving the complex issue. There should be proper
communication among the leader and employees. In practice, at off-site locations
to managing the peoples means that it required more rigorous management
approach.
Application
Question No 2.
How
Maggie Pinto, will be fair in handling the case of the Allison to which theory
he will be followed?
The
Maggie Pinto who is the head of the HR manager
now take the case of these both person in her own hands, and she wants to
solve the problems of the employees in effective manners. The Maggie Pinto must
be followed by Maslow’s theory which is explaining that an individual must be motivated according to his need and his
levels needs. It means that the individual must be
driven at their levels of the requirements.
The progress of the individual is depending on
how his needs are addressing at each level of his activities (White, 2018).
At
the basic level, the needs include social
needs, favorable working
conditions, security, and psychological
needs. By ensuring the employees about the safety
of the workplace the needs of the individual can be addressed. The individuals must be
directed for friendly and respectful
environments. It also includes the needs of the higher level as self-esteem and
self-actualization must be addressed in this case. To recommend the Maggie Pinto firstly, she shouldn’t abandon
her plan for rolling out the companywide flextime strategy.
Therefore the individuals of the company must learn from their formal institutional training and current difficulties to their managers for teaching them about the communication on
the environment of the telecommunication. Maggie must
understand the missteps of Craig, and
he must be trained for managing the
various world and preparing the matters
of the different environment. Few of the responsibilities must oversee by her
and her departments for not observing the kind of multiple difficulties, and
these responsibilities must be crop in the new
system. Maggie must be suggested several ways to Craig for taking actions for his employees in solving their difficulties
in effective manners (Maruca, 2019).
Recommendation
It
is recommended that managers of the company must take part in the extensive training process. It
must be included in training that how the
realistic objectives can be achieved, how to communicate clearly and hoe to establish.
To defining that what work is due and
when it will be completed. Hoe the
ongoing specific feedback can be provided to the employees of the organization.
How loyalty and openness can be demonstrated. Hoe the work can be a mentor as a self-starter.
The employees of the Off-site require similar training for communicating the
work effectively far away from the offices. In the new environment for working efficiently
and effectively, the employees of the company
also require practice. If the company
will provide guidelines and transparent policies, intense training program for their employees at their workplace and the results of the off-site
worker will be increased as well (Maruca, 2019).
