HRD Case Study:
Harsha and Franklin both of them are post graduates in management under different streams from same B-School. Both of them are close to each other from the college days itself and the same friendship is continuing in the organisation too as they are placed in the same company, Hy-tech technology solutions. Harsha placed in HR department as employee counselor and Franklin in finance department as key finance executive. As per the grade is concerned both are at same level but when responsibility is concerned Franklin is holding more responsibility being in core finance.
By nature Harsha is friendly in nature and ready to help the needy. Franklin is silent in nature ready to help if approached personally and always a bit egoistic in nature. They have successfully completed 4 years in the organization. And management is very much satisfied with both of them as they are equally talented and constant performers.
Harsha felt that now a day’s Franklin is not like as he use to be in past. She noticed some behavioral changes with him. During general conversations she feels that Franklin is taunting her that she is famous among the employees in the organisation in the other hand he is not even recognised by fellow employees.
One morning Mr. Mehta General Manager Hy-tech technology solutions shocked while go through the mail received from Franklin about his resignation. Mr. Mehta called Harsha immediately and discussed about the same as she is close to Franklin. By hearing the news Harsha got stunned and said that she do not know this before she also reveled here current experience with him. Mr. Mehta who do not want to loose both of them promised her that he will handle this and he won’t allow Franklin to resign.
In the afternoon Mr. Metha took Franklin to Canteen to make him comfortable after some general discussion he starts on the issue. Franklin, after some hesitations opened his thinking in front of Mr. Mehta. The problem of Franklin is 1) when he comes alone to canteen the people from other don’t even recognize him but if he accompanied by Harsha he get well treated by others. 2) one day Both of them entered the company together the security in the gate wished them but the next day when he came alone the same security did not do so. 3) Even in meetings held in the office the points raised by Harsha will get more value so many a times he keeps silent in the meeting.
It happens to Franklin that he has to face such degradation in each day of work which totally disturbs him. Franklin also questioned that ” Harsha and myself have same qualification, from same institute, passed out in the same year both with first class. We have same number of experience in this organisation. More over the responsibilities with me are more valuable than that of Harsha. After all this things if I am been ignored or unrecognized by the fellow employees my ego does not allow me to continue here”.
By listening this statement Mr.Metha felt that it is not going to be very difficult to stop his resignation. Mr. Mehta explained Franklin the reasons for such partial behavior of the employees.
After listening to Mr. Mehta Franklin said sorry for his reaction and ready to take back his resignation. And he called Harsha and spoke with like before.

As it is stated that the girl is empoyee counceler so she's do more interaction with people and hence people knows her more and have better relations with her. On the other hand Franklin is in department which doesn't need much interaction with people.

secondly , Harsha has a friendly behavior and Franklin is a quiet guy...this also is the one of the causes of the behavior he's facing.
