QUESTION

Which of the following, if true, might justify the relocation as a prudent move from the human resource point of view?

A) Developing a Facebook page made the business known to a large group of potential customers living in a much wider regional area.
B) Federal crime reports show that the greater metro area has seen an increase in car thefts.
C) The new location is located near a major freeway interchange.
D) Fantasy action figures are often remaindered for below wholesale cost because their popularity is short-lived.
E) Anonymous notes in the firm’s suggestion box repeatedly cited cramped conditions and lack of privacy as the most annoying factors in working conditions at the present site.

ANSWER

Answer: E
Explanation: E) While the potential for crime is troublesome, employees might consider the trade-off acceptable if the move results in a significant improvement in working conditions. Thus, Choice E is the strongest argument in favor of the move. Choice A doesn’t address the human resource impact of relocating to a marginal neighborhood. Choices B and D have no relevance to the proposed move. Choice C might support the move by suggesting that the location would be an easier commute for employees, but it’s also possible that the interchange area would be a traffic bottleneck.
