Question

Grace is a manager in a medical office. It seems that every year when she evaluates employees for wage increases, Kevin and Taneesha always receive raises, while most other employees do not. The other employees accuse Grace of having favorites, and believe Kevin and Trisha are unfairly rewarded. Grace feels Kevin and Taneesha deserve their raises, and that she makes that determination based on facts, not on whom she favors. How can Grace best convince her other employees that she is being fair in her determinations?A) pick a different person at random each year to receive a raiseB) post the criteria she will use to determine raise recipients at the beginning of each yearC) explain that raises will be determined by a new process that will be kept secret from everyoneD) disqualify Kevin and Taneesha from receiving raises for the next three yearsE) post the criteria she used to determine raises after recipients are announced

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) post the criteria she will use to determine raise recipients at the beginning of each year

Explanation:

Based on the story, Grace has to be fair with the assessment of her team. She should let her workers know her criteria, so that they would understand what type of performance is expected from the company, and how only those that can achieve it will receive wage increases. This would create a better atmosphere between her employees and foster healthy competition rather than the current suspicion that permeates now.
