“It is still a good idea for Karl to hold the weekly meetings, however he must start them with an
Agenda which explains the objectives of the meeting. Furthermore, he should tightly control the flow
of the meeting so that each person is given a chance to speak. The meeting should end by Karl
explaining the outcomes and then allowing each employee to talk about any other issues but in a
controlled manner, so that everyone has a chance to say what they need to. Finally, those who cannot
attend the meeting should be given the option to attend through Zoom or emailed the outcomes.”
, - Alternatives - Summarise a couple of alternative solutions that the business could use and
why you don’t think they are as effective/appropriate as the ones that you have recommended.
- Finally, if you can suggest any tools that the business can use to help them manage the
solutions, that's even better. For instance:
- “To help manage the rota Karl could use software such as Find My Shift, which is free for
businesses with up to 5 employees and will save him time so he can concentrate on creating
new flavours and generating more Revenue for Sweet Treats.”
