Scenario 1
Ben is a twenty-four-year-old employee at The Prince Group, a large engineering firm that specializes in civil engineering projects, such as roads, bridges and infrastructure. Ben has been with the company for eight months; prior to this, he worked as a retail sales clerk for a men's store, but joined The Prince Group because he wanted to have better career opportunities. He works in a team of six from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as an Accounts Receivable Representative, and his work includes calling customers regarding outstanding invoices, processing payments, and issuing invoices. While he is not a star at work, he is considered a steady employee who makes few errors. Ben has an easygoing and pleasant personality. In general, his coworkers like him, and he occasionally goes out for drinks after work with a group of guys from his office. He also just joined the company hockey team. However, Ben has come to work late four times in the past two weeks and his coworkers are starting to notice. Aside from this, there have been no performance or absenteeism issues. When his manager, Jeff, spoke with Ben about his lateness, Ben replied, "Well, I guess I'm just not a morning person." Jeff mentioned this to you, his Human Resources representative, in passing during a conversation you were having about other staffing issues on the team.
