Many back office employees were forced to work from home. The problem was that many back office employees did not have the equipment to work from home. The bank's policies did not discuss telework prior to the beginning of the pandemic.]]> 2021-12-07 01:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bgraber1/go9k8ge0cvb857x1/wish/1932493215 bgraber1 https://padlet.com/bgraber1/go9k8ge0cvb857x1/wish/1932497548 The bank realized these issue quickly.

Merging of the many departments also forced upper management to take a closer look and to decide if some departments had an excess of employees. This analysis caused work insecurity. Specifically employment security, which involves employees’ protection against arbitrary dismissal regarding hiring and firing of workers. The lack of communication within Premier with regard to the announcement of changes to upper management lead to a heightened sense of insecurity for many employees. ]]> 2021-12-07 02:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bgraber1/go9k8ge0cvb857x1/wish/1932517478 bgraber1 https://padlet.com/bgraber1/go9k8ge0cvb857x1/wish/1932529604 Premier Bank showed a couple strengths while analyzing these incidents.
