Analyse the following caselet and answer the question that follow:

Nicky, Manoj and Benita are graduates from a top ranked B-school. They joined ABC corporation a year ago. ABC is known for its performance oriented culture. This is the first time the organization recruited from a top ranked B-school. They are part of a five member team with two others from lower ranked B-schools. Nicky, Manoj and Benita draw 40 percent higher salaries than other team members. This team reports to Amelia Ganeshmurthi, a senior Executive.

Question 37

Recruiting Nicky, Manoj and Benita was part of a larger initiative to make the organization attractive to prospective employees. Recently Amelia’s boss informally told her that the trio’s perception of the organization might influence future recruitment from top B-schools. However, the trio had already expressed their unhappiness about the organization to Amelia. She suspected that her promotion due next year might depend on the trio!

Which of the following is the BEST way for Amelia to deal with this situation?

Solution

Options A, B and C would be unethical on the part of Amelia as a manager and hence, are rejected.

Option D is rejected as Amelia is responsible for the trio's behaviour as their reporting manager.

Since the organisation wants to attract more people from the top B-Schools, ensuring their current employees are happy and satisfied with the organisation is a must. Thus, the organisation should know about the trio's disappointment so that they can make the necessary changes.

Hence, option E would be the most suitable choice for the answer.
