  1. Will you please number your questions when you turn in the interview? Also, your questions are generally good, but need some rephrasing to make sure you don't get short answers.


    Does Unical have a company goal that adheres to the overall functionality of the warehouse? If yes, please explain how that company goal could be used in your team (departments). What if the answer is no on this one. Maybe rephrase.

    Would you say these types of ‘tests’ promote positive behavior or change anything in an employee? Yes/no

    For my essential question, my second answer is that an operations manager can best motivate their employees through communication. How can communication be used to address motivation? Who is your advisor again? I know that I said you'd need to be a lot more specific. What does your advisor say. Start using more specific language now rather than later.


    I’ve come across a number of articles stating that relationships between employee and manager is an important part of motivation. Why do you think communication heavily emphasized in motivation? This last part is a bit confusing.

    How many reviews do you typically go through in a day? Short answer.

    Which evaluations (the good ones or the bad ones) have the most attention? add...why?

    Are employees on probation (meaning they’ve done poorly in a certain area) more at risk and have extensive reviews? If yes, what can a manager do to ensure these employees are addressed appropriately (in terms of motivating them and assessing the issue)? What if they say no?

    Are employees with generally good performances devoted as much attention as those with issues? If yes, what should a manager do in order to ensure they maintain their dependability? What if they say no?

    Would you say team building creates motivation between a manager and their employees? If so, please provide an example from the warehouse and how an effective team is important. What if they say no?

    Is motivation clearly visible in an employee? What alerts the manager when they know their leadership is working? What if they say no?
