Subject: Purpose and Benefit of Organizational Change
Good evening, Omar,
Recently you reached out to our HR Inbox asking why we are experiencing weekly changes here at IMF Plastics. We thank you for reaching out to us with your question. It is important to state we understand change within an organization can be challenging, especially for a team member who has been with the organization for several years. However, challenging or even unsettling it may be change within an organization is purposeful and beneficial. “Organizational change is important for the growth or transformation of a business” (Indeed Editorial Team, 2023). Our HR department along with organization leadership believes for IMF Plastics, change is necessary to remain competitive as well as relevant within our industry. Lastly, we want you to understand “change can be an exciting time for companies to re-evaluate their processes, improve corporate culture and maintain long-term viability” (Indeed Editorial Team, 2023). You have worked for this organization for 25 years and we are grateful for your years of service and for sticking with us through the various changes during that time. Our stakeholders, team members, customers, vendors/contractors, and our business itself, have continues to grow and to ensure we are meeting the needs of everyone impacted by this growth,
it is important that we pay attention to and make the right decisions which could lead to additional changes to ensure the impact felt by our stakeholders is positive. Thank you again for reaching out to us and should you have any additional questions or concerns feel free to contact us again. You are also more than welcome to come into the department and speak to any of our HR team members one-on-one. Regards, Corine M. Williams

Subject: Communication and Support Methods to Coach Employees
Good evening, Devon,
Thank you for reaching out to our HR Inbox. We received your concerns as the department manager for one of our team members who is having trouble with mentoring our younger employees. We believe coaching and mentoring our employees is a role for all organizational leaders. We also believe using team members to coach and mentor younger employees can be beneficial but understand there may be challenges in attempting to do so. Regarding Omar’s feelings that the younger employees don’t listen to him or value his advice, we have a few suggestions which may be useful. Omar could steer away from providing advice or even constructive feedback first and instead begin with “congratulating the employee on their previous successes and highlighting their strengths” (Herrity, 2023). By recognizing an
employee’s strengths and successes, Omar is developing their trust. This creates a space for him to encourage the employee to continue building on those strengths and discuss skills which require further strengthening. Omar could also begin by asking “the employee for their perspective” (Herrity, 2023). Involving the employees by getting them to discuss areas they would like to grow or work on creates an open dialogue, which in turn “improves the employees’
engagement” (Herrity, 2023) in the time Omar is spending with them. Lastly, once the employee has discussed areas, they’d like to work on improving, Omar can “collaborate on solutions” (Herrity, 2023) with the employee. For example, if the employee struggles with putting together presentations, a good solution could be additional training on using software like Power Point, Canva, or Google Slides. Hopefully these suggestions are of some help for Omar and his coaching and mentoring our younger employees. By providing effective coaching, Omar could be setting himself or one of those he’s mentoring up for a potential leadership role. Please do not hesitate to follow up with us regarding Omar’s improvement in coaching and mentoring. We would love to hear how things turn out. Also, if you need additional suggestions or help do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you again for contacting us in our HR Inbox.
Regards,
Corine M. Williams

Q2. A- In Adobe company, Ms. Tia was transferred from another function into an important HR role. It was not long before complaints were coming in, which set the stage for an unpleasant mid-year performance review.“What is your future plan?” asked her boss, trying to build some perspective on the situation rather than jumping into a series of criticisms. The employee had no answers. “Tell me what you would like to achieve in this job?” her boss persisted. After avoiding a direct answer she eventually blurted out, “Why are you asking me this? I love this job.” Then she burst into tears. Her boss knew there was a problem but could not put his finger on why she was doing so poorly. Neither did he have the time to devote to a lot of coaching. He knew she was motivated and had a good track record in her previous job. Despite the complaints from her internal clients he wanted to give her a chance. Now suggest to the boss that what chance should be given to Ms. Tia to improve her performance…

Part 1: Case Analysis
Read the discussion forum below, which shows several employees' posts about how to develop a better performance review system. Then, answer the questions that follow.
Jackson: Hi team, this week we’ll use this forum to discuss our performance review system. Specifically, we want to explore the benefits and drawbacks about the timing of our reviews. Currently, our reviews are conducted annually. The HR team wants to know what we think about quarterly reviews. The HR team wants us to share our views with them by September 10.
Cynthia: I’ve never experienced quarterly reviews before, so it’s hard for me to say if that’s better. My hunch is quarterly reviews would be more fair and helpful. But, I also assume they take a lot of extra time for our managers. @Erin I think your last company held quarterly reviews. What are your experiences with more frequent reviews? Has anyone else worked at a company with more frequent reviews? Tell us what it was like.
