Question Answered step-by-step ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR | MANAGING EMPLOYEES Question 1 You have… ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR | MANAGING EMPLOYEES Question 1  You have been hired as an external consultant, and your client, Green Box Financial, is a large financial services employer with a performance-driven organizational culture. The organization has invested a significant amount of time and money in innovative recruitment practices to attract the brightest employees to their Canadian offices in Calgary, AB; Montreal, QC, Toronto, ON; and Victoria, BC. Their recruitment efforts have been successful; however, their retention has proven to be an issue.  You have met with many of the management team and have concluded that Green Box Financial does not provide a very good socialization program. Additionally, you received feedback from exit surveys from new hires who left the company that indicate that the job was not what they expected to be.  In addition, Green Box Financial has just hired a new Chief of Strategy, Marc, who has just begun the new job. As a result of a formal socialization program, Marc is not sure what he can do on his own to improve his chances of a successful socialization. Propose a socialization program for Green Box Financial and help them understand what a successful socialization program looks like. In relation to Marc, what would you tell him to do, and how effective would it be for his socialization? Question 2 In 2018, female employees at Nike spoke out about the male-dominated culture that fostered harassment and discrimination in the workplace. It started as an anonymous survey by a group of women at the company’s Beaverton, Oregon headquarters about their experiences. The disturbing results were delivered to CEO Mark Parker.Some examples of internal communication problems that went wrong here include:It took a renegade survey by a group of employees to reveal this toxic cultureLack of trust in HRA leader who says he was unaware of the problemsInefficient methods of bottom-up communication Propose an approach to provide voice to employees that engages middle managers and front line employees. Consider communication flow and who should participate, especially from the bottom-up.  Question 3  You are a Senior Manager at an Online Gaming Software Engineering firm located in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. You lead an Engineering Team: that consists of seven Software Engineersthree men and four womentwo team members are from Canada, one is from China, another from Germany, and two are from Japan. The Team is working to finalize a new online game “the Student’s Revenge” which is being launched globally on June 1, 2022. The game is marketed to kids ages 10-15, wherein the game player gets to create characters and their “Teacher” character must complete the series of complex challenges as assigned by the student characters in the game.  Over the past couple of months, you have observed that your Team is missing deadlines, the quality of the work is lacking, and the likelihood of you missing the launch deadline of June 1, 2022 is quite possible. You know there are issues that need to be addressed, and if you miss the launch date, there will be significant revenue losses and you may lose your job.  When you talk with the team, both as a group and individually, you receive mixed messages.  Sometimes team members will agree that there are issues, promising that the solution you requested will be implemented.  But when you check-in with the team, the solution hasn’t been implemented and Team members will shrug their shoulders, noting that they did everything they could to implement the solution.  Some members of your team have met with you 1:1 to express their frustration working on your Team.  Some of the concerns they have expressed include “members on the Team are rude and disrespectful”, “members want to spend a lot of time exchanging pleasantries and don’t want to focus on work”, and “members won’t give me a straight answer about if they can complete the tasks within their role”.  Through talking with your Team and observing their behaviours, you know there is conflict and misalignment of goals.  You know it is time for you to “step-up” as their leader to get them working together, focusing on completing “the Student’s Revenge” on-time, with high quality. What are you going to do?   Using the theories of leadership and diversity, discuss how you are going to flex your leadership style and behaviours to support your team to better work together to achieve the goals of launching a high-quality game on June 1, 2022.  Business Management MSCI 605 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
