The Head of HR of each SBUs has significant authority to operate in a polycentric fashion and only interact with the Head of Corporate HR on a quarterly basis. <br \/>\r<br>Due to a significant reduction in revenue during the pandemic, the organization has made a decision to streamline its HR structure by adopting a more centralized HR structure that can provide HR services to corporate and the SBUs. The proposed centralization of the HR function is expected to result in cost reduction, consistency in HR operations, and increased HR proficiency. <br \/>\r<br>Corporate HR has created a team comprising of HR managers, HR business partners and HR admin personnel to originate and implement the new HR services model. Anna is a HR manager from a strategic business unit in California that has been drafted to join the team. Anna has 8 years of cognate HR experience working with various SBUs in the organization. Anna is the only team member who has worked with an SBU, the rest of the team have only corporate HR experience.

During and after the pandemic, the company has suffered a 45% loss of profit and revenue due to poor sales. In a bid to stay afloat, the sales manager has laid off the entire administrative team and 100 sales employees who were the least performers last quarter. The remaining 600 sales employees are required to take on administrative tasks, as well as a 20% reduction in base pay and a 20% increase in commissions from car sales. <br \/>\r<br>The HR manager has been told by an employee in the sales department that he is leaving because of the additional workload which has distracted him from making sales and has reduced his commission-based pay. The HR manager is concerned that employee satisfaction levels have fallen drastically due to the increased tasks and unfavorable compensation model. She believes several sales employees are planning to leave the organization which will further reduce the organization's revenue. <br \/>\r<br>The HR manager decides to share these apprehensions with the sales manager. The HR manager shares that there is a real possibility of high turnover amongst the sales employees which will result in loss of trained talent, corporate know-how and revenue. The sales manager refutes this claim and states that there is a necessity to weed out employees who do not pull their weight and have been relying on the certainty of their base pay as opposed to generating sales. The sales manager notes that the worst performing employees are those who complain and are welcome to leave. <br \/>\r<br>Furthermore, the sales manager shares that laying off the administrative employees and increasing <br \/>\r<br>commission-based percentage of pay has improved the company's financial condition and encouraged the sales employees to have a line of sight between their tasks and the company' productivity.

The remaining 600 sales employees are required to take on administrative tasks, as well as a 20% reduction in base pay and a 20% increase in commissions from car sales. <br \/>\r<br>The HR manager has been told by an employee in the sales department that he is leaving because of the additional workload which has distracted him from making sales and has reduced his commission-based pay. The HR manager is concerned that employee satisfaction levels have fallen drastically due to the increased tasks and unfavorable compensation model. She believes several sales employees are planning to leave the organization which will further reduce the organization's revenue. <br \/>\r<br>The HR manager decides to share these apprehensions with the sales manager. The HR manager shares that there is a real possibility of high turnover amongst the sales employees which will result in loss of trained talent, corporate know-how and revenue. The sales manager refutes this claim and states that there is a necessity to weed out employees who do not pull their weight and have been relying on the certainty of their base pay as opposed to generating sales. The sales manager notes that the worst performing employees are those who complain and are welcome to leave. <br \/>\r<br>Furthermore, the sales manager shares that laying off the administrative employees and increasing commission-based percentage of pay has improved the company's financial condition and encouraged the sales employees to have a line of sight between their tasks and the company' productivity. The sales manager states that the HR manager should not bother about baseless complaints but revise the job descriptions of the sales position to include the administrative tasks so as to recruit new employees who are comfortable with the workload of the role. <br \/>\r<br>Which approach is most effective for the HR manager to use to resolve her difference of opinion with the sales manager?<\/div><input type='hidden' name='question_id[]' id='qID_29' value='302750' \/><input type='hidden' id='answerType302750' value='radio'><!-- end question-content--><\/div><div class='question-choices watupro-choices-columns '><div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-302750[]' id='answer-id-1186556' class='answer   answerof-302750 ' value='1186556'   \/><label for='answer-id-1186556' id='answer-label-1186556' class=' answer'><span>agree with the new commission-based pay but advise that low cost and low skilled temporary staff be hired to carry out the administrative tasks which will enable the sales employees focus exclusively on sales and increase company revenue.<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-302750[]' id='answer-id-1186557' class='answer   answerof-302750 ' value='1186557'   \/><label for='answer-id-1186557' id='answer-label-1186557' class=' answer'><span>inform the employees that the sales manager has the final say over the department and suggest they create an employee resource group for a collective concerted avenue to share their issues with management.<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-302750[]' id='answer-id-1186558' class='answer   answerof-302750 ' value='1186558'   \/><label for='answer-id-1186558' id='answer-label-1186558' class=' answer'><span>propose that focus groups and exit interviews be conducted by HR to determine if and why the sales employees are dissatisfied with new work and compensation model.<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-302750[]' id='answer-id-1186559' class='answer   answerof-302750 ' value='1186559'   \/><label for='answer-id-1186559' id='answer-label-1186559' class=' answer'><span>Utilize a business case to inform senior management of her concerns over the increased turnover \r\nrate in the sales department and its impact on company revenue.<\/span><\/label><\/div><!-- end question-choices--><\/div><!-- end questionWrap--><\/div><\/div><div class='watu-question ' id='question-30' style=';'><div id='questionWrap-30'  class='   watupro-question-id-302751'>\n\t\t\t<div class='question-content'><div><span class='watupro_num'>30. <\/span>The HR director and the CEO of an e-commerce company with 330 employees each receive a similar email from an unrecognizable address.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) speaks to the Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) about receiving anonymous emails of dysfunction in the customer service department. The CEO asks the CHRO to determine why the department is performing poorly, and if the Head of Customer Service (HCS) is able to lead the team effectively. The CEO states that the rising levels of customer complaints of poor service must be handled urgently and decisively. <br \/>\r<br>The CHRO schedules a meeting with the HCS. The HCS was a top performer as an employee for 4 years and was recently promoted to lead the department. During the meeting, the HCS admits that he is facing significant employee relations problems. He states that certain employees are given preferential treatment by the CEO based on familial ties and these employees cannot be controlled. He is at a loss on what to do about these &quot;problem&quot; employees because they have access to the CEO based on family ties. <br \/>\r<br>Staff in the department respond to an average of 3 calls per hour while the industry standard average is 7 calls per hour.

The report claims that the employee stated that the deteriorating levels of customer service is due to the company's apathetical attitude to its employees. The report also states that the employee may have divulged certain trade secrets of the company. <br \/>\r<br>How should the CHRO handle this situation?<\/div><input type='hidden' name='question_id[]' id='qID_37' value='302758' \/><input type='hidden' id='answerType302758' value='radio'><!-- end question-content--><\/div><div class='question-choices watupro-choices-columns '><div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-302758[]' id='answer-id-1186588' class='answer   answerof-302758 ' value='1186588'   \/><label for='answer-id-1186588' id='answer-label-1186588' class=' answer'><span>Get the employee's side of the story.<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-302758[]' id='answer-id-1186589' class='answer   answerof-302758 ' value='1186589'   \/><label for='answer-id-1186589' id='answer-label-1186589' class=' answer'><span>Communicate to the HCS that the employee has engaged in a breach of confidentiality; allow the HCS determine the appropriate discipline to mete out.<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-302758[]' id='answer-id-1186590' class='answer   answerof-302758 ' value='1186590'   \/><label for='answer-id-1186590' id='answer-label-1186590' class=' answer'><span>Determine if the employee is protected by Weingarten rights; document the report in the employee's file; proceed with the corporate disciplinary policy.<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class='watupro-question-choice  ' dir='auto' ><input type='radio' name='answer-302758[]' id='answer-id-1186591' class='answer   answerof-302758 ' value='1186591'   \/><label for='answer-id-1186591' id='answer-label-1186591' class=' answer'><span>Terminate the employee based on the employment at will doctrine.<\/span><\/label><\/div><!-- end question-choices--><\/div><!-- end questionWrap--><\/div><\/div><div class='watu-question ' id='question-38' style=';'><div id='questionWrap-38'  class='   watupro-question-id-302759'>\n\t\t\t<div class='question-content'><div><span class='watupro_num'>38. <\/span>The Crop multinational company operates in over 7 countries in 3 continents.
