Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Offering Andrew a job equivalent to his current one will increase the likelihood of Marcie accepting the job offer because it addresses the potential issue of uprooting both their careers. This option also shows that the new organization values the professional growth and development of both individuals, which may be a key factor in their decision to relocate. The other options do not directly address the potential concerns or incentives for Marcie and Andrew.
