Jennifer calls every day almost in panic because she is not sure what to do about the situation in Australia. Diego, on the other hand sounds confident in his bi-weekly reports. Gary recognizes those both are valuable additions to his organization, but also recognizes how different they are and thus require customized________ even though they are basically doing the same job.
◦ job descriptions
◦ places in the organizational hierarchy
◦ pay and benefits
◦ motivational techniques
◦ alternative technologies
