Case discussionHarold is one of our strongest performers and in great demand from many other companies abroad. The Company has made significant investment in developing him over the past few years. He is now considered one of the most highly rated professionals in his field. This skill is considered to be scarce in country and in the Company.Gracie, Harold’s wife, works on contract in another country and will be there for another 2 years. This has taken a toll on their relationship.Harold considered options of resigning, accepting a job with another company or taking leave of absence. He approached his team leader with a request to consider a flexible working arrangement as he prefers to continue his career and development in the Company.
