Question:

Mr. Rastogi, HR head of LSP, is contemplating of transferring MR. Jose, from India to their Luxembourg office. Mr. Jose’s wife is also with the HR department of LSP. The couple is expecting their first child within next four months and hence they want to be together. Mr. Rastogi is wondering whether Mr.Jose would accept the transfer. If he doesn’t, Mr. Rastogi would have to send a less competent person for this job as early as possible. The office in Luxembourg is very important for the company’s future. It is at its nascent stage and does not yet have an HR department. Hence, it is not possible to transfer Mrs. Jose to Luxembourg.

Which of the following options would be most appropriate, from the organization’s perspective, to resolve the issue?

Explanation:

Option 1 sidetracks the issue of the couple's desire to be together, considering the fact that they are expecting their first child.
Option 3 does not work in the favour of the organization. Since company needs a more competent person for the job in Luxembourg immediately, it might put the company's future at stake.
Eliminate 3. Same explanation applies to option 5. Hence, eliminate option 5.
Although option 4 looks compelling, it is not reasonable, as pay was never an issue for the couple. It will be unethical on the part of the company to compromise Mrs. Jose's job with a hike in Mr. Jose's salary. Eliminate option 4.
Option 2 comes forth as the most appropriate solution taking into account all the issues.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
