Question 1

If you were Jacqueline Tremblay or a more senior executive at Consolidated Inc., what would you do to improve employee attitudes?
Understanding organizational behavior is one of the keys to reach success in top levels of management and only sturdy leaders make it to the executive level.
The transition that Jaqueline will be facing from her Calgary office to Montreal will be a challenge. Coming into her new surroundings, she’s faced with multiple issues concerning unhappy employees, lack of communication/teamwork, prejudice behavior, and non-motivated workers, as well as other minor problems. Although Jaqueline may not be able to solve all the problems within her new office, she does have to resolve some of them and provide a better solution to fixing employee’s attitudes rather than a retreat. After speaking with 6 randomly selected members of the team who would be attending the retreat, it became clear that majority did not want to participate. Also, a few employees are so stress out and dissatisfied for their reward, but the organization seems to avoid or not considered enough and keep silence on some matters. In addition, physiological and psychological differences in people in the workforce that sometimes might impact ones’ performance then ones’ labour productiveness will decrease.

If I was Jaqueline Tremblay, firstly, I would suggest an alternative to my organization of doing something that is team building, but won’t take up an entire weekend. Instead have an event that may take place more frequently (once a week or month) that won’t have your employee’s leaving their families for an extended period of time. This would be beneficial to the employees who are concerned about spending too much time away from home, but also to the
