Assume one of the roles listed and address the related questions in your discussion response. Be sure to identify your role at the beginning of your post.

Role 1: Director of Human Resources

Multiple managers have come to you with concerns over their ability to adequately staff their programs during times of need. Managers described issues with staffing the 24-hour residential program due to employees wanting to come and go as they please stating they will “get their 40 hours in”. Mangers from your vocational skills program have stated that employees are now not available during hours they most need them. Discuss how you would handle this situation.
