Read the following scenario and answer the THREE questions that follow.
In Symbolis, an upcoming medium sized IT services organization, only 1% of the employees were awarded an annual performance bonus. This annual performance bonus was decided by a committee formed of different functional heads. When Ms. Nalini Kattakayam received the annual bonus for the first time in her five years at Symbolis, Ms. Shalini Sampath, a colleague with seven years of tenure at Symbolis, told Nalini that this annual bonus was less a reflection of Nalini’s performance and more a recognition of those who have fostered a strong rapport with the powers that be. Incidentally, Shalini had never received any performance bonus in her tenure at the company.
Since receiving the performance bonus, Nalini noticed a change in how her teammates behaved with her; they appeared indifferent towards her. Although there were no major issues, Nalini could not help but sense that her teammates began to perceive her as having a closer relationship with the top brass, following her recent accomplishment. Nalini assumed that her teammates might be influenced by Shalini; consequently, they seemed to be avoiding informal interactions with her.
As Nalini had to rely on the support of her teammates, what could Nalini BEST do to normalize her relationship with them?
Option E is the best thing she could do to normalize her relationship with her teammates.It is the most direct and constructive approach. By addressing the issue openly, Nalini can express her feelings, clarify any misunderstandings, and work towards a resolution. It’s important to maintain open lines of communication in a team, and this approach allows for that.
Option A: This is a passive approach, which might not resolve the issue and could even allow misunderstandings to persist.
Option B: This could lead to conflict and doesn’t address the issue with the rest of the team.
Option C: This could help improve relationships, but it might not be effective given the current circumstances. Since her teammates have been avoiding informal interactions with her, they might not be open to attending such a gathering.
Option D: This could create a negative environment, and it is unprofessional. It’s unlikely to improve her relationship with her teammates.
