The manager of the Marketing Department in Hilton Group noted that in recent years, absenteeism has been steadily increasing, as has staff turnover. There have been instances of dysfunctional behaviour such as unauthorised sale of customer lists. Marketing Department employees who are directly involved with promotion campaigns are offered bonuses on the basis of the sales that are generated from their specific campaigns. This scheme has not been well-received by staff, since they feel that the sales generated from marketing campaigns are not a true measure of the value of the campaigns. They argue that the sales are dependent on many other factors outside the control of the Marketing Department and typically, bonuses payments are rarely paid to the Marketing employees. They feel that this is unfair, since many of the other departments receive regular bonuses. Marketing Department employees are also not satisfied with the opportunities for training and advancement, compared to other…

BJ'S SUPERMARKET CUSTOMER CONFRONTATION: Recently, Jenna, Supervisor in the Customer Services department, witnessed a squabble between a customer and one of the customer service representatives Tina who is Caucasian American. The customer Maria who is of Latin American ancestry, was attempting to return what she claimed was a defective belt sander. Maria claimed the sander caused a serious abrasion to her husband's arm, resulting in a trip to the emergency room. Tina was rude to Maria in her response and not only refused to honor the return because she claimed it was beyond the 30 day 'no questions asked' return policy, but she suggested that Maria's husband had not followed the product directions appropriately. Tina went on to ask whether Maria's husband could read English. Maria angrily responded that although she and her husband are Latino, they are US citizens and fluent in English. When Jenna overheard the conversation she walked up to the returns counter and asked Tina to assist…

The HR department at Clearwater Electronics, in conjunction with the company’s safety and health office, is developing a new safety training program that will be required for all production personnel. A pilot program was tested on a group of employees from one of the lines, and the trainers believed everything went well. After the training, line managers were asked to conduct safety observations four times a shift to gauge training success via increased safety behaviors. However, just a week after the training, one of the line managers reported that employees had left several tools out overnight instead of putting them away properly, something that was specifically covered in the training. The trainers reviewed the safety program and determined that an additional evaluation element, a contract plan, would help the employees remember and practice the safety techniques they learned in the training. Why would a contract plan be an effective way to ensure increased compliance with the…

You are the judge hearing a case where an employee has been terminated and has filed a wrongful termination complaint. The employee was the sole African-American customer service representative at the firm, who had a lengthy record of good evaluations. However, she received more negative evaluations over a period of three years after a new supervisor was hired, though the more stringent requirements that were applied to her were not applied to white employees.

Adrian Duane had worked for IXL, a Silicon Valley educational technology company, for about a year when he got into a dispute with his supervisor over Duane's ability to work flexible hours after he returned from medical leave following transgender surgery. Duane posted a critical comment on Glassdoor.com after he said his supervisor refused to accommodate a scheduling request. Duane's critique said, in part: "If you're not a family-oriented white or Asian straight or mainstream gay person with 1.7 kids who really likes softball-then you're likely to find yourself on the outside. . . .
