Reasons for choice

Staff Lunch

Reasons for selection:

Ivan Petrovski

Ivan is from Russia and came to Australia three years ago. He is 40 and has two teenage

children. He can read and write English, but has trouble understanding people who

speak quickly. Ivan is formal, punctual and hates uncertainty. He believes there is one

right way to perform each task. He respects authority and believes that it is the Boss's

job to tell everyone what to do. He is competitive and possessive - don't borrow his pen

without asking. Don't stand too close, either: it makes him uncomfortable. Ivan is a

vegetarian, though he will eat eggs and milk.

Mary Jones

Mary is a 70-year old Australian with a hearing-impairment. She is a devout Christian

who expects to attend services on Easter Sunday and the Friday before Easter. She is

informal, egalitarian and comfortable devising solutions to problems. She has no

problem making suggestions to the boss, and she expects to be recognised for her

achievements. She always speaks up in meetings. She is punctual and doesn't gossip. If

you share private information, it stays private. Mary is happy to lend you office supplies,

but you must ask first and return them when you have finished. Like Ivan, she gets

uncomfortable if you stand too close.

Nour Al Nasri

Nour is a 35-year-old Muslim Arab who has been in Australia for 25 years. She has two

children at primary school and two at secondary school. She is not competitive and likes

working as part of a team. She works hard to help all the team meet their objectives.

However, she never speaks up in a meeting unless someone asks for her opinion. Like

Ivan, Nour dislikes uncertainty, believes there is one right way to do things, and prefers

the Boss to tell her what to do. Unlike Ivan, she is likely to turn up five or ten minutes

late for meetings. Nour is happy for people to borrow her things without asking and

expects to do the same in return. As a Muslim, she only eats Halal food. Unlike Ivan and

Mary, Nour doesn't mind people standing close.

Rajeesh Kahn

Rajeesh is a 25-year old Indian who has been in Australia two years. He has two small

children and his wife also works. Although he speaks with an accent, English is his first

language. Like Mary, Rajeesh is informal, comfortable devising solutions to problems

and happy to make suggestions to the Boss. Also like Mary, he always turns up to

meetings on time and shares his opinions. Like Nour, he is happy for people to borrow

his things without asking and expects to do the same in return. Also, like Nour, he is

comfortable with people standing close, but he doesn't like to be touched. For religious

reasons, Rajeesh refuses to eat beef.
