Description and Message:
Scenario:
Most of the team like the idea of the BBQ and there are plenty of volunteers. Tasks are delegated and all is well until Norman asks if his own family can attend. Tim responds that he is not opposed to the idea and asks for comments from others. The response is mixed.
The younger staff are not keen to bring their partners – they think it will be boring.
Anan, Joan and Zennie think it‟s a great idea.
Adam is gay and worries that some parents may not be comfortable if he brings his partner.
Hui thinks it would be easier to interact with the families if their own family were not present – Hasna and Gigi agree.
David argues that if staff are expected to attend without being paid overtime or given time-in-lieu then their own family should be able to attend free of charge.
The staff begin to discuss the issues among themselves and Tim calls the meeting to order.
