In order to improve morale and encourage employees to return to the workplace, we decided to let employees bring their pets into the office with them. However, this has been a disaster. Employees are paying more attention to their pets than working, pets are fighting, some dogs are chewing up desks and electronics, and morale and productivity are diminished. We need to figure out how to modify this policy as employees have threatened to work remotely if they aren’t able to bring in their pets anymore. Please discuss and define what an pitfall is. Please also indicate some examples of pitfalls in regards to this scenario. How concerned should we be about pitfalls when planning interventions? Why?
