You are the HR Manager of a privately owned company. Your head office is in Ontario, and you have satellite offices across the country. In total, the company employs approximately 3,000 workers (both hourly and salaried; all employees are non-union). Increased competition has forced you to reduce sales and income projections for the next year, and you have decided it will be necessary to reduce employment across the company by 10 percent. You intend to make an announcement about this in one week from now. It is your intent to implement this move in a way that will be as fair as possible and, to the extent possible, minimize impact on the people involved.

You are going to email the president of the company (Ed Lewis) with a communication plan including:

  1. A list of the key audiences for this announcement. (Hint: There are several, both internal and external.) Explain who they are and how they might react to this news.
  2. The potential key messages for each of these audiences. What are the two/three most important points each audience group will need to hear?
  3. Whether the message should be delivered directly or indirectly to each audience and why.
  4. The best communication channel(s), for example email, letter, phone, face-to-face, etc., to use for each audiences. How are you going to deliver this news?

Note: You are not to include the actual full message or “scripts” for each audience. This email is simply the first step in the process, and it is going to be read and evaluated by the president of the company.

SAMOUEL’S GREEK CUISINE

A business consultant with experience in the restaurant industry was hired to assist Phil

and his brother. After an initial consultation, the business consultant recommended a

comprehensive assessment of the restaurant. The assessment would focus on three

areas. The first area was the actual operations of the restaurant, and the proposed variables

to be investigated in this first project included:

• prices

• menu items

• interior decorations and atmosphere

• customer counts at lunch and dinner

• average amount spent per customer

The second area of study involved better understanding Phil’s employees. To do

so, the consultant recommended a research project to obtain information regarding

the work environment at the restaurant and how employees felt about working there.

Variables to be examined on the employee project included:

• relationship with supervisor

• relationship with coworkers

• compensation

• training

job satisfaction
• classification characteristics for employees

The third area focused on learning more about Samouel’s and Gino’s customers.

Variables to be examined on the customer project included:

• food quality

• customer contact employees

• pricing

• atmosphere

• dining out habits

• customer characteristics

Results from examining these three areas are to be used to prepare a business plan

to compete with Gino’s Italian Ristorante.

1. Do the three research projects proposed by the consultant include all the areas

that need to be researched? If not, which others need to be studied?

2. Is there other information that needs to be collected in the project on restaurant

operations?

3. Should other variables be examined in the employee and customer projects? If

yes, what specifically are these variables?

4. What kind of research design would be most appropriate for the three projects,

exploratory, descriptive, causal, or more than one type of research design? Justify

your choice.
