Chakri’s recommendation should be made as soon as possible, to the Hotel chain’s senior management team. After a thorough evaluation, Chakri found that the hotel was dealing with major organizational behaviour issues. The employees had been very resistant to change. There were also many cross-cultural differences that were hindering operations. Furthermore, stress, absenteeism, and employee turnover were at an all-time high. Using her knowledge of OB theory, Chakri made a recommendation to the senior management team. This recommendation involved additional training for employees, adding an advisor for Becker, and implementing stress management strategies. Chakri recommends that these changes be made immediately, in order to maintain the long-term success of the Regency Grand Hotel.
