Refer to the following scenario for the next 3 questions.A company is building a new sawmill facility with advanced processing technology in a medium-sized community to replace an older sawmill. The older sawmill employs over 500 people in a small community and will close once the new sawmill is complete. Approximately 100 employees at the older sawmill will be transferred to the new sawmill facility, with the other positions eliminated due to process and technology improvements. The companys leadership has drafted a plan to communicate the impending layoffs to all employees. According to the HR department, uncertainty is high throughout this transition. Several weeks ago, tension escalated significantly at the old sawmill when a maintenance department worker, a long-term employee with the company, initiated a verbal dispute over the company radio system with a forklift operator who recently joined the company’s shipping department. A physical altercation resulted when the operator drove a forklift from the shipping department to the maintenance department to confront the maintenance employee.With the new technology and culture, there is some concern as to whether current employees are qualified to work in the new sawmill. Which most effectively addresses this concern?
Answers
Generate a questionnaire for employees at the old sawmill that asks them to document their current capabilities.
Require employees to go through a validated hiring process to ensure that they are a good fit for the new sawmill.
Review employees’ performance history to assess their potential success with the new technology and culture.
Administer a test to current employees to measure their potential to learn the technology at the new sawmill.
