BDM practice question.

Body

Read the following scenario and answer the TWO questions that follow.

The CEO of the Jamshedpur Tea Factory (JTF) was in a quandary over employees skipping work. It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to identify employees who faked illness to skip work. The work of the employees was complex and intricate, and they had to report to eight supervisors. “Faking illness” made it difficult for JTF to judiciously decide on “Promotion” and “Training” of employees. An employee could only be promoted on the completion of a multi-skilling training program. Further, to be nominated for the training program, an employee must be recommended by a minimum of six supervisors. JTF wanted to promote only sincere and deserving employees.

Q1) The CEO was thinking of changing the policy regarding leave, training & promotion. Which of the following will be the MOST efficient course of action for JTF and yet be fair to the employees?

  1. Let the CEO office decide on the leave as well as promotions.
  2. Let supervisors decide on the leave of an employee.
  3. Let the CEO office decide on promotion but each supervisor will decide on the leave.
  4. Let the CEO office decide on leave but supervisors will recommend promotions.
  5. Let status quo continue

Q2) Which of the following policies will be MOST prone to error while selecting deserving and sincere employees?

  1. Outsource all leave decisions to a doctor whose judgment will be final
  2. Outsource all leave decisions to a lawyer whose judgement will be final
  3. Let the CEO office decide on leave but supervisors will recommend the promotion.
  4. Let the CEO office decide on the leave as well as promotions.
  5. Let the CEO office decide on promotions but supervisors will decide on the leave.
