We are at the point where we must make a decision on the promotions of Margaret Adams and Beth Taylor, members of our administrative staff. They are both very competent employees, and I am convinced that they are capable of handling even more responsibility.

Margaret’s file indicates that she has history of chemical dependency but has had treatment and has been OK for a year. She is not currently enrolled in any treatment program. She believes that she should very rarely stay late at the office or participate in weekend meetings. She believes that her first duty is to her health and that she should manage her time accordingly.

In Beth’s case, I am not altogether certain that she is willing to subordinate time with her family to time on the job, to the extent that may be required. I have had the opportunity to explore with her the general problem of family vs. job, and she strongly believes that she should very rarely stay late at the office or participate in weekend meetings. She believes that her first duty is to her family and that she should manage her time accordingly. These viewpoints have not affected their performance in the past, but it could be a problem in a more demanding role.

Which option do you choose?

1. Promote Margaret only.

2. Promote Beth only.

3. Promote both Margaret and Beth.

4. Promote neither Margaret nor Beth.

Assignment Details

The human resource employee benefits and compensation programs are built upon the in-depth evaluation of each position and the determination of its value within the construct of the organization. Job analysis is a critical component in this process. Another major part is market pricing, which assumes that the pay set by the employers is an accurate reflection of a job’s worth. Both parts are important to ensuring that equity in pay and compensation exists. In the event that equity and fairness are not always met for compensation and benefits, this could lead to employee dissatisfaction and retention problems. It is therefore incumbent upon the organization to correct any inequities.
