Jacob, Margaret, and Sharon all work on the same team and have all been overworked. A new employee has been hired to join their team. This new employee should really help reduce the amount of work each employee has to complete. Jacob and Margaret are sitting at a table in the break room having a conversation when Sharon approaches. If you were in Jacob's position, what would be the most and least effective course of action to take from the choices below? Most Least Tell your coworkers that it is not appropriate to comment on the new employee's appearance or start rumors and that it is important to include the new employee as part of the team. Walk over to the new employee, introduce yourself, and ask her to join you for lunch. Volunteer to meet with the new employee to discuss the concerns about her professionalism. Meet with her and describe the typical dress code and ask if she has questions about other office policies. If she does not change her behavior, share the group's concerns with the supervisor. 

Explain to your coworkers that it might be too soon to judge her based on the information you currently have.
