Step 1: Read the case study "Netflix - The Firing Machine?"

The case discusses continuously evolving human resource management (HRM) practices at Netflix Inc. (Netflix). Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, implemented certain unique HRM practices such as not hiring fresh graduates from college or having any formal leave policy. He paid employees above the market rate salary but when performance and skills went below standard, fired employees. In 2018, he introduced a transparent pay policy and, in 2019, introduced weekly employee surveys. As Netflix internationalized to Asian countries such as Japan, Hastings continued with the same HRM policy of hiring and firing. It was to be seen if such policies would work in international markets and if employees would be motivated by the transparent pay policy of Netflix.

Step 2: Case Study Questions The following questions are based on the above case study.

Answer the following questions referencing only the content from the case study, course textbook.

Be sure to support your answers using the concepts and theories from the textbook and case study only!

1. Does pay transparency work? Explain in the context of Netflix using the theories discussed in this course. Would pay transparency work in all organizations? Why or why not?

2. Analyze why Netflix did not implement a live-at-a-distance policy or a telework policy (remember this is pre-pandemic).
