Which strategy is most effective in motivating individual employee performance?
An HR director is hired to address the executive team's concerns about negative workplace culture and its impact on financial performance. During an initial investigation the HR director discovers that the two division directors often fail to communicate with each other and their employees. Each division maintains separate workplace policies, and the workspaces for the divisions are spread out across multiple floors. For employee management, the director of the client services division is assisted by a small HR team. The director of operations does not work with the HR team and instead uses company funds to seek employee management advice from an executive coach, who has no official coaching training. The HR director suspects facilitating change at the company will be challenging because engagement data indicates many employees distrust the company’s leadership and HR.
The HR director discovers that many employees lost trust in HR after an HR manager read sensitive emails from employees out loud during a company meeting. How should the HR director address this?

A regional government office runs a media broadcasting station that is funded almost entirely by individual and corporate donations. An eight-person team is in charge of planning and coordinating the receipt of gifts including entertaining guests with the CEO and asking philanthropists for large contributions. The manager of the team is results-driven and has consistently led the team to achieve challenging goals for five years. The manager recently moved further away from the office to afford higher quality education. The manager sends an urgent email to the HR director indicating an immediate need to work remotely three days per week. The manager also wants to avoid commuting traffic and come into the office after 11 am. The office has a flexible schedule policy but it has not been reviewed in some time.
The office is composed of salaried employees who manage production and operations and hourly shift-work employees who carry out facility maintenance and food service. What should the HR director do to ensure policy revisions are fair for all employees?
