Question

The provider says to the assistant in the hall, "I'm tired of telling you how to do things and having you mess it up during an exam. Pick up your check at the end of the week and don't come back." How could this situation be prevented by using wise employment practices? What are the implications of how this was handled?

Answer 1

A wise employment practices for this case are:

- the first and foremost is that the selection of the employee is improperly done or poorly executed.

- if an employee is been selected he or she should be thoroughly be explained about his or her description

- employee should be well trained for atleast 2 weeks before he can be officially entrusted to his position

- a weekly reporting and recording of the employee should be taken from the employee himself to identify the progress or the lack of the employee

- the employer should entrust someone reliable to guide the employee rather than himself as the employee could be at ease a little and ask and clarify about his doubts

About the situation at present, prevention can made by'

- the employer should enquire with the employee of the problem he is facing to dulfulfthe task

- try to identify if he has any kind of difficulty to understand or to implet the tasks given to him

- the employer should try to solve it before firing the person itself

- he should give more training and proper guidance to the employee

- he should give the employee with a small task at a time without being ride or demanding of the employee

- the verbal instructions should be avoided and a proper written format of tasks to be done should be made up

- identify the need of any guidance required by the employee from other seniors

The implications provided of the handling of this situation are:

- the employee was only instructed verbally

- the employee was not provided with proper guidance

- an immediate and irrelevant action was taken against the employee

- it also shows that the employer is not showing the professionalism while handling his employees
