Case Study: Just a Modest Change in Records I.

Introduction Carla Banal a senior human resources executive reporting to the Vice President of Employee Relations was asked for a summary profile on each senior executive for succession planning purposes. Since the previous assessment was done by a consulting firm, she instructed the said consulting firm to do the assessment to prevent misinterpretation. When the consulting firm completed the summaries and forwarded them to the Vice President of Employee Relations for review and to Carla as well. But a week after Carla was dismayed to find out that several changes were done without her knowing and this violated her sense of ethics. Statement of the Problem Would Carla take the risk of asking her superior of the sudden changes in the summary because of ethical reasons even if her job and her future in jeopardy? Analysis of the Problem The problem tackles one of the important roles of a manager in decision making which influences employee morale. Alternative Course of Action a. Carla would just accept the Vice Presidents changes in the summary to save her job. b. Carla would have to talk to the Vice President not to confront him but to ask him the basis of his changes in the summary. Recommendation In situations like this Carla doesnt have to be afraid to ask his superior regarding the changes. Its just the way or manner of asking that would make or break her. Asking her superior in a right way and stating her reasons for asking such would not create any conflicts. As a manager she is responsible in making numerous decisions that influences the employee morale and should put into consideration their employees.
