Case Study Analysis

*****:

ABC, Inc. did not provide adequate training and supervision for its new campus recruiter, Carl Robins, who had only been with the company ***** six months. As a result, C*****rl has exhibited poor planning and execution of his responsibilities.

*****:

Carl Robins has completed one job function successfully, the recruitment of 15 ***** trainees hired in early April. However, he is failing in his assignment to conduct orientation on June ***** for t***** new hires although he has assured ***** supervisor, Monica Carrolls, that meeting this deadline would not be a problem. Carl ***** just realized the scope of the ***** around ***** end of May when he discovered missing paper work on the ***** employees, failure to schedule required drug tests, an insufficient number of training manuals that were not complete, and unavailable training facilities.

Possible Courses ***** Action:

Option 1: Carl could proceed with ***** June 15 schedule.

He ***** also ***** to locate offsite training facilities since the company's room has already ***** scheduled. The ********** of this proposal is that ***** only two weeks of preparation time, some students may not be able to respond to the requests for paper work and drug test scheduling. In ***** instance, appropriate background screening wouldn't begin until after ***** employee starts *****. If negative results are discovered after the employee start date, dismissal ***** lead to legal issues for ABC. Further, ABC would incur costs for the ***** training facilities.

He could easily obtain ***** copies of training manuals. And, he could conduct training at ABC. However, Carl has promised his supervisor th***** *****e training will take place ***** ***** 15, so informing her of the need to change the date would highlight his mistakes as a new employee. Further, his supervisor m*****y ***** be willing to agree to the date *****.

If she does, Carl will ***** to explain to the various supervisors ***** the new hires that they ***** be starting later than originally planned. ***** may cause various issues for these supervisors. The company will ***** have ***** notify the employees of ***** ***** start ***** and may be responsible for providing compensation to the employees while they ***** not working because of the change in ***** promised start date.

Short-Term Recommendation:

Carl should move the tra*****ing schedule back ***** month to give the company the time to follow its established procedures. Despite the shortcomings of this recommendation just discussed, the legal implications ***** not following ABC's policies could be significant. Carl
