Exhibit 1: Medx Organization Chart Sharon (CEO) James (Director) Felicity (Manager) Lucy (Manager) Gabe (Manager) Tasha (Associate) Please read the caselette material and then answer the questions by accessing the link within the Assignments folder on Blackboard. Sharon has always wanted to start her own medical device business. As an entrepreneur and the founder of Medx, she knows how important finding good talent and creating an energizing culture is for any company's success. She currently has five employees (Exhibit 1) but no formal executive team (i.e. Chief Operating Officer, Chief Human Resource Officer, etc.). As a result, Sharon personally executes and has the final say in all human resource responsibilities including hiring, firing, and annual reviews. Annual performance reviews are completed 12 months after an employee begins at a company. Felicity joined the company just six months ago after working at a large healthcare technology company. She was introduced to MedX by another employee named Lucy.Lucy and Felicity were roomates in college and are from the same hometown. Lucy passed along Felicity's resume directly to Sharon for review and she was hired soon after. Recently, Sharon's most senior employee, James, shared concerns about Felicity. Felicity met with James for her 90 day meeting, which is a manager/direct-report check-in 90 days after an employee begins in a new position at the company. During this discussion, Felicity shared her concern about the volume of work at the company and the poor compensation. Felicity was visibly frustrated during the discussion and she voiced that she believed she had been "duped into taking the role without full transparency into the amount of work she would have to do. She also shared that her position should have much higher compensation. In the weeks and months that followed, James noticed that Felicity appeared disengaged during team meetings and other interactions. She also seemed irritated when asked to take on any additional work which was in fact a common request of all MedX employees given the booming success of the business. While members of the team have independent roles and responsibilities, a small and quickly growing company requires frequent collaboration. One such task that requires collaboration is the personal progress reports. Every week, each Manager is expected to submit their personal progress report which highlights key numbers and updates for their respective business unit. Sharon, the CEO then combines all of the data from the personal progress reports to form a comprehensive company-wide report. This company-wide report is then sent to company investors, clients, and other key stakeholders. Felicity has repeatedly failed to submit her personal progress reports to Sharon. As a result, other Managers have had to stay late unexpectedly until 9pm on a Friday evening to make up for her portion to ensure that the company-wide report can still be produced in its entirety by Sharon. During one specific week, Lucy also missed the submission deadline for her personal progress report but she did eventually submit it. When Lucy was asked why she submitted her report late, she admitted to departing work early with Felicity without permission. There were plans to hire a new Associate soon to work under Felicity. Medx is now becoming concerned about whether a toxic employee may negatively impact their future company culture. To that end, James recommends and decides to begin an investigation now that Felicity has been in her role for seven months. Exhibit 2: Personal Progress Report Submission Status By Employee.
