After reading the case, what course should Vallia Energy take related to remote work? Describe why you think this decision is correct in the situation and create a basic policy that explains how any telecommuting allowed will work (or why it will not be allowed at all). What is the policy for when workers dont follow the policy? Based on the case study, what resistance to change do you expect and from what parties for your policy? How will you help reduce this resistance and get people to follow the new policy?
Question 2: For this question assume at least some telecommuting is allowed. What digital tools discussed in class would be helpful for Vallia Energy in particular to support the telecommuting aspects of jobs? How would you help training and development elements to be done effectively for telecommuting workers?
Question 3: As the case notes, Vallia Energy is looking to prepare for the great crew change, where due to retirements a next generation of workers is needed for the organization to continue to succeed. Based on what you know from the case, discuss sustainability types at Vallia Energy. Using concepts of organization as organism and sustainability offer suggestions for how Vallia Energy can help build an environment and HR support structures that helps attract and support the next generation of workers.
