    Changes, Changes

    Jennifer, the owner and manager of a company with ten employees, has hired you to take over the
    HRM function so she can focus on other areas of her business. During your first two weeks, you
    find out that the company has been greatly affected by the up economy and is expected to
    experience overall revenue growth by 10 percent over the next three years, with some quarters
    seeing growth as high as 30 percent. However, five of the ten workers are expected to retire within
    three years. These workers have been with the organization since the beginning and provide a
    unique historical perspective of the company. The other five workers are of diverse ages.

    In addition to these changes, Jennifer believes they may be able to save costs by allowing
    employees to telecommute one to two days per week. She has some concerns about productivity
    if she allows employees to work from home. Despite these concerns, Jennifer has even considered
    closing down the physical office and making her company a virtual organization, but she wonders
    how such a major change will affect the ability to communicate and worker motivation.
    Jennifer shares with you her thoughts about the costs of health care on the organization. She has
    considered cutting benefits entirely and having her employees work for her on a contract basis,
    instead of being full-time employees. She isn’t sure if this would be a good choice.

    Jennifer schedules a meeting with you to discuss some of her thoughts. To prepare for the meeting,
    you perform research so you can impress your new boss with recommendations on the challenges
    presented.
