Nadir Shah and Associates does not need to adopt the costly ‘family-friendly’ programs that have been proposed by an HR consultant engaged to research job satisfaction level of Nadir’s employees. These programs include part-time work, work at home, and job-sharing. When similar ideas were implemented at the Summit Company, the leader in its industry, only a small percentage of employees participated in them. Rather than spend money to offer expensive programs that few employees will thank the management for offering, the management at Nadir Shah and Associates should concentrate on offering extensive training that will enable employees to increase their productivity.
Which of the following is an assumption involved in the argument above?
A. Employee engagement schemes should be selected on the basis of how far popular they are likely to prove.
B. An engagement program can grow popular among employees only if they are happy with it.
C. An engagement program is redundant when there is a dearth of professional alternatives for the employees and that is the case all the time except when the economy really booms.
D. If you want to please some people and – thereby – persuade them to do your bidding, you should offer them what they want rather than what you think is good for them.
E. An employee is unlikely to continue for long on job that he or she does not like.

Suggestion of Mkt Rsrch : To improve job satisfaction , introduce family friendly prog, such as part-time work, work at home, and job-sharing.
Counter : Similar strategy adopted by an industry leader failed.
Conclusion : The firm must concentrate on offering extensive training to improve productivity rather than expensive programs which the employees don't value.
Pre Thinking 1 : The expenses of extensive training < Expenses of family friendly prog
Pre Thinking 2 : The employees will find the training program useful and will thank the Management.
Pre Thinking 3 : The program will substitute the desired effect sought after using the suggested method of the HR Analyst, and is equally beneficial to the Management as well.
(A) Undermines the value of the program to the Management.
(B) Happiness of the employees is ok, but what about the use of the training for the Management.
(C) Economic boom, dearth of professional ............. Out of scope and irrelevant to the discussion.
(D) Close to or Rethinking Assumptions (2) and (3)
(E) Continuing for a job..... Out of scope and irrelevant..
Hence Answer must be (D) .......

Hi Abhishek009 ,
Apologies for being naive but which part of the argument says that the employees want an extensive training as mentioned in option D statement ?
If you want to please some people and – thereby – persuade them to do your bidding, you should offer them what they want rather than what you think is good for them.
Second, how does it match with your prethinking 2 & 3?
