Question

"Isabella, welcome to the company! I’m so happy to have you on board." "Thank you, Sebastian. I’m excited to be here, too." "Great. So, I had my assistant set up your office with all the basics—laptop, office supplies, and such. He also put the personnel files that we have in your filing cabinet. I think you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the company and employees. There isn’t a lot in the way of personnel files—my mom, Linda, didn’t document much. Unfortunately, she kept a lot of the information in her head. It was always such a small operation, she knew everyone personally and didn’t really need to write anything down. Sorry about that. Anyway, later today, you have a meeting with one of the warehouse managers, Charlie Perez. He can walk you through the warehouse and give you a crash course on our operations." "Ok. I’ll look through what your mom has in the files, even if it isn’t much. We probably need to discuss the positions that you are looking to hire for with your planned expansion. Can we set up a meeting this week?" "Yes, definitely. We recently signed a deal with Kings Hardware as their new distributor. Charlie will also be able to provide some input on what we need to hire for. This deal with Kings has already increased our workload, so we will need additional warehouse staff, for sure. Ok, well I’ll stop in later to see how everything is going." "Sounds good. Oh—wait! Do we have an employee handbook I can look through? Or something that lists the organizational rules?" "Uh, no…unfortunately. We never really had a need for one." "Oh, ok…would you like me to get started on creating an employee handbook?" "Actually, can you work on the job descriptions for warehouse employees? We’ll need to get those job openings posted as soon as possible?

Question:
What should isabella tell sabastian?
A. Write warehouse staff job descriptions in order to get the warehouse jobs posted quickly? the employee handbook can wait.
B. Create a handbook first, before writing job descriptions

Answer 1

Isabella should tell Sebastian: A. Write warehouse staff job descriptions first, then post the jobs quickly.

New warehouse hands are top priority! Skip the handbook for now, Isabella. Focus on writing those job descriptions and getting those openings posted ASAP. Kings Hardware won't wait! Handbooks can wait, but boxes can't pile up forever!

Urgency: Filling the warehouse positions is the immediate need due to increased workload and the Kings Hardware deal. Delaying hiring could impact operations.

Information: The job descriptions will clarify the specific roles and qualifications needed, leading to better hiring decisions.

Handbooks can wait: While helpful, an employee handbook isn't essential for starting new employees. It can be created later once Isabella has a better understanding of the company's structure and policies.

Therefore, prioritizing the job descriptions and quickly filling the critical warehouse positions makes the most sense in this situation. The employee handbook can be tackled later once the immediate needs are addressed.
