Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the new HR manager, the first initiative should be to diagnose the cause of the health and safety problems and formulate a plan to deal with them. It is important to understand the root cause of the issues before taking any actions. Once the plan is formulated, it can be communicated to the CEO and other departments for implementation. Firing the HR staff without understanding the problems would not be a wise decision. Similarly, inviting the press for a tour of the facilities without addressing the problems could further harm the plant's reputation.
