Activity 2 –Understand people behaviour (social skills)
1.
| An employee has come to you with an issue involving a co-worker. In general, the sales team is a pretty cohesive team, but now a relatively new member of the team is rubbing people the wrong way.
She never participates in drinks or other social occasions outside work. She never involves herself in normal, day-to-day conversations about family, popular movies or culture. The team is beginning to form the opinion that she is too aloof and doesn’t like the other team members and is quite upset about it. On the sales team, it’s really important to be able to feel a connection with other team members. When you feel this connection, you know you’re able to rely on them – to relieve you when you need some personal time, feed you information as you need it and help you serve customers.
You happen to know that the sales staff member in question is a valuable staff member with good customer skills and product knowledge; however, as a foreign-born, conservative, religious woman, she is having trouble relating to the other team members. Many team-bonding opportunities involve activities that she cannot participate in, such as out-of-hours parties, alcohol or confusing cultural references. She is in a bind because she would like to be accepted as a member of the team, but when all avenues to team-bonding are closed off, she feels stigmatised and perceived by others as an unfriendly person. |
In your written response to the above scenario:
- Provide at least two examples of possible misinterpretations of expressions or behaviour that may arise in the context of a diverse workforce.
- Describe how you would explain to the employee who came to you with the issue how cultural expressions may be misinterpreted – and have been in this case.
- Discuss how the team can raise their awareness of cultural expression and promote effective communication to avoid misunderstandings in order to resolve the differences.

It is the end of the financial year and sales revenue at the Wollongong store in the Timber and Plumbing & Electrical departments is down on targets. This issue is almost certainly due to increased competition from smaller competitors for trade contractors’ business; nevertheless some action should be taken by management to mitigate the effect of this issue on the store overall.
As a result of managerial discussions, it has been decided that some employee performance targets will be increased where capacity exists and some programs, such as training, will be delayed. These measures will have the effect of potentially increasing revenue and reducing costs to compensate for overall poorer-than-expected performance in the Wollongong store.
Each manager will have responsibility for implementing this group decision in their particular area of responsibility. It will be important to consider the emotional impact on staff and any consequential impact on health, safety and wellbeing as well as the impact on performance and the achievement of organisational goals. |
In your written response to the above scenario:
- Describe the relationship between emotionally effective people and the attainment of business objectives.
- Describe how considering the emotional impact of decision-making could lead to better decision-making (with respect to business objectives).
- Describe what a possible process of decision-making that takes into accountemotional impactcould look like. Decisions in this case include, for example, setting particular performance targets, or selecting what programs can be delayed.
- Identify policies, procedures, or legislation that will need to be adhered to in order to satisfy internal and external requirements related to managing emotions in the workplace.
