Question - An oil company's management has decided to consolidate its three divisions into one single regional office in San Francisco. This move would mean that over 150 employees would be transferred to San Francisco (a very expensive city to live in) from their current location.

The company has decided to begin implementing the following in order to increase the driving forces for change and reduce the forces against change:

-increase the pay for those who accept the transfer

-pay the moving expenses for those who decided to make the move
