It was a staff performance.
Company that I work for contracted a software company to develop an system for us. We

looks like the hasn’t slept for a week. This has been happening on and off for the last
month. Carmen has spoken with him a couple of times but now decides she needs to
deal with this problem by meeting with Olan formally.
Assume you are Carmen and prepare some notes for the meeting. These should cover:
- What you would say to Olan
- An explanation of how he is not meeting standards or following procedures
- How you might involve Olan in identifying the problem and suggesting a solution
- How you will monitor his performance to check for changes in improvement and
give him regular feedback
Olan in this company we care and we look after our employees, and I could noticed that
since last month you seem very tired and not interested in the work anymore.
As I said we care about our team and I would like if you are facing any problem. I know
that it is totally normal, but unfortunately we cannot let personal problems interfere in our
professional life.
You have been making mistakes with money, you are also not on top of new products
and their use. You are getting 5 or 10 minutes late every day.
It has been impacting company production and you. Would you like to share something
with us? Is there something I can do for you?

your role.
I will be monitoring your performance and giving you feedback.

day Felix became defensive and flustered when a customer complained that he gave
Felix a $50 note and only received change from $20. Felix gave the customer the correct
change out of $50 and later found that this till was out to that value. The next day Natalie
was furious with Felix and criticised him in front of other staff and customers. She said
that the procedure for handling cash was in the manual. Felix became angry and
decided on the spot to leave the job as soon as he could find another one.

Carla was asked to keep a tally of the number of customers who visited the store each
day and the number of people who purchased items. She was worried about losing her

other people feedback and check cameras if they do have it there.

Roles and Responsibilities
Please take notes on the lecture/discussion in this allocated area
Roles are generally defined as the positions that each person on a team
assumes — for example on a product team you might have a Product
Manager role, a Product Designer role, etc. Responsibilities are the
specific tasks or duties that team members are expected to carry out as
part of their role.
Who is responsible for conveying these changes and to whom do they need to advise?
Managers and team leaders are responsible for conveying these changes and they need
to advise the team.
Workbook activities
Find a recent change to a procedure or policy in your area or in the organisation you are
researching.
Work out how you will communicate this to staff in your team
I would organise a meeting with staff to explain about the changes and how it could
impact in the day by day. I would be totally transparent and ask for their feedback. I also
would let them know that online training would be provide to make sure it is clear,
information would be send by email as well and make sure they know my door is always
open for them.

Feedback
Please take notes on the lecture/discussion in this allocated area
Class activity
Consider the following two examples of feedback. Explain the differences between the
two approaches and the consequences of using this feedback. Which approach would
you respond best to? Why? Give reasons.
1. ‘We’ve received two customer complaints in the last week about poor service from
staff. It’s just not good enough. Pull your socks up and start doing what you are paid to
do.’
2. ‘My manager has sent details of two complaints from customers in the last week. I
know you will be as troubled as I am to hear that. I’d like to go through each one and get
your thoughts on what went wrong and how we can avoid that happening again.’
First one is a very aggressive way to talk to people and it can intimidate staff. Second one
is very polite and ask them to about the pass week and if they think they did something in
not a good way.
You would respond best the second one. I am very polite and I treat people with respect,
so it is what I expect back.
