HR Case Study

As far as Radha is concerned, I would say that both business and personal life are two different Extremes and one should not mix up the business with the personal life. If Avinash is so much worried about the happenings, It clearly shows that he doesnt have any work - Life balance. He need to be made understood about the situation clearly and Radha is promoted only for the reason that she is performing. Avinash should be happy instead of being worried to share that radha is a performer.

As far as john is concerned, Organizational politics would surely evolve in any organizational setup. It is the responsibility of each individual in the organization, to direct the organizational politics to a productive way.

Aslam, as mentioned, is a superior guy who would really would have worries in reporting to a person who is younger then him. This is where the issue of experience/ performance based appraisal system takes place. Aslam and every other person in the organization should be clearly explained about the metrics through which radha is promoted. There should be a transparent appraisal system. This would make aslam to actually realize the gap between his and radha's performance. He should also be motivated in a manner that he would also perform in order to get his promotion.

If Radha could carry out all these suggestions, I hope the situtation would turn out into a productive environment.


Looking forward for the others to comment and make corrections in the solution....

Indeed the condition of Radha is very pathetic. But Iam more unhappy with the attitude of Avinash. Its a regular trend men don't like women to be more successful than them. Radha should not mix work and personal life and should say the same thing to Avinash. If he cannot cope up with this situation, there is no need to pull this relation further as it shows Avinash will dominate her for the entire life and would never give her freedom.

As far as Jhon and Aslam (old fashioned) are concerned, if they have problem with Radha's success, they should perform better than her. If they can't, then silently should obey Radha and blame themselves not her. Radha shouldn't be disturbed with all this as in an organisation, always there are people who will try to be against your success. Even best friends. So, rather than worrying, she should say all these things to these three and if something happens to their friendly relations because of this, still there is nothing to worry since its better not to have this kind of friends who can't see a friend's success...
