Question

West Coast Architects (WCA) has been operating for the last ten years now. No longer the new kid on the block, the organization has steadily become more professional during your time here. Five years ago, the company had 50 employees and now has grown to 100 staff in Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto. You have been successful in your career as a people manager practicing what you learned in your class many years ago. You are managing an HR Department that is based out of Vancouver and has a mixture of recruiters, HR consultants, and payroll staff. You silently take stock of your situation and marvel at how lucky it has been to grow with a company that has really appreciated your contributions. That brass name plaque on your office door could use some polishing as its developing some patina!
