Written scenario · Equity, Problem solving
One set menu
You are on the committee planning your company's annual sales conference dinner.
The plan is one set menu for all two hundred staff. Tanvi, a colleague on the committee, says that leaves out employees whose faith restricts what they may eat, and that a side salad is not a dinner. The events coordinator replies that certified religious meals come from separate caterers, would stretch a budget that was already cut this year, and need exact headcounts weeks ahead, when half the staff have not yet confirmed. The committee asks you to recommend whether to change the catering plan and, if so, how.
The two questions
- 1What would you recommend, and why?
- 2How should a group decide how much extra cost or effort is reasonable in order to include everyone?
What raters look for
- Equity
- Notices unequal access or treatment and acts fairly, especially for people with less power.
- Problem solving
- Gathers facts before acting, considers options and consequences, and chooses a workable next step.
