You’re in your everyday work environment, doing your daily tasks. When the time comes for a break, you head towards the lunch area to enjoy your meal.

A colleague approaches you and starts a normal conversation, but leads it towards inappropriate behaviour, using profanity while reaching beneath the table. Even though rejected by you with a clear statement, the colleague keeps on insisting with this behaviour in the next few days to the point of following you to your home transport after the work shift.

It is up to you whether you will stay quiet and see what happens next, or report the colleague’s behaviour to HR and file a complaint. Either choice may lead to unpleasant consequences.

You are a flight attendant and at the moment, you’re preparing the flight cabins for the next flight with your colleagues. After checking whether all is in order, the doors are opened and passengers start boarding. Once you make sure all passengers are seated and have the seatbelts fastened, the plane takes off.

Later, while serving snacks and drinks, one of the passengers complains that they smell smoke in the cabin. You reassure them that everything is well and that you’ll make sure to double check the status of the plane. When going back to grab more utensils, you notice a small smoke coming out of the toilet cabin. It is strictly forbidden to smoke during the flight and the passenger will need to deal with consequences.

It is up to you how you will handle the situation and the smoking passengers anger, as well as explaining to a supervisor why this violation wasn’t noticed earlier rather than later when already complained about by other passengers.

You are an employee at a corporation and at the moment, you’re in a conference room for an important meeting with your manager and other colleagues. It is about one of your clients and the next project you’ll be working on, therefore your manager shares some important insights useful for this collaboration.

After the meeting, you go about your daily tasks and finish a few more things before heading home. Before going out, you get a reminder on your phone to pick up a few groceries from the local store.

When in the store, you come across an ex-colleague, who gives you a hug and is very happy to see you. He shares that his new workplace is very nice but it’s not the same without your daily chats and laughs because you were work besties. He asks how’s the company now and what you’ve been up to. He also asks what happened to one of the clients and their status, the same client you had a meeting about earlier today.

How will you respond? Do you let him push you into sharing all the details because he already knows the company and you can trust him? Or do you keep things to yourself? It’s up to you whether the inside information will spread out which is illegal due to company policy, and risk losing your job, or if you’ll stay safe but possibly damage the relationship with your ex-colleague.

You are an employee (nurse or doctor) at a hospital and it’s a regular, busy working day. You work in cardiology on the fifth floor and at the moment, you’re taking care of a few patients. A colleague walks in and lets you know that you’re needed on the second floor as soon as possible, to help out with the condition of a certain patient that just arrived.

Once done with the current patient, you head towards the second floor. While helping out with the patient on the second floor, a code blue is announced and all cardiology employees are summoned to a patient with a cardiac arrest on the fifth floor, the patient you just took care of a few minutes ago.

If you remember your code blue training, you also know that you need to be at the patient’s side in less than a minute to help save her life. How will you get to the fifth floor and will you make it on time? If you arrive quickly, what do you do first according to your role?

The patient’s life is at stake depending on whether you get there on time and if you do, whether you block and don’t know how to help, or you know what to do and fight for their life.

You are an HR manager and at the moment, you are looking at the CV from one of two people you need to interview for the new Project Manager position. Both candidates have their interviews scheduled for today.

The first CV shows a candidate that has more years of experience in the field, whereas the second candidate has education that fits the role more.

During the interviews, you will need to pay attention to each candidate’s attitude, their degree of adaptability, level of honesty, professionalism, as well as willingness to commit to their work and whether they fulfil the main requirements for the job. It is up to you to ask the right questions and make a decision on who will fit the position and the company culture better.

Will it be the candidate with less experience but a lot of enthusiasm and will for team work, or the candidate with more experience but less talkative and more likely harder to adapt? Your choice will show whether you’ve made the right decision by the reactions of the candidate’s colleagues and the work done.

It is your first day as a deckhand on a ship and you’re welcomed by a senior colleague who leads you through your daily duties and maintenance process.

From cleaning the deck, to loading cargo onto the ship, assisting with docking procedures and maintaining equipment by conducting inspections, there are daily obligations that you need to make sure are done by procedure in order everything to run smoothly.

After the walk through, you will be given your first task to assist your colleagues with the docking procedure and getting ready for unloading. What should be done first, where should you be at given moments, what is your role? It is up to you whether you’ve paid attention before and know how to handle the situation.

You are an environmental manager at an electricity plant and at the moment you’re in a meeting with the rest of the managers and the board of directors. The CEO informs all of you that the regulations inspection will visit your plant in a week, so all of you need to make sure everything is in the best condition otherwise the plant can be easily shut down forever or for a period of time, which will cost money and people’s jobs.

Being responsible for minimizing the impact of your company on the environment, you will need to check and regulate electricity and water usage, availability of renewable energy, general waste consumption and pollution or carbon emissions according to environment laws.

Do you know the environment regulations? And can you find a solution for certain issues before the regulations inspection arrives? If you manage to resolve some challenges with wrong information in the operations system about carbon release, the regulations inspection will pass without a remark. If you fail to do so, the inspection will check the numbers and release a statement to close the plant for a certain period due to polluting nearby waters.

It is your first day as a delivery carrier at a big mail facility and a senior carrier welcomes you in the building. He explains the work culture, the average number of packages and deliveries per day, and other important information you’ll need to know as an employee.

Today, he takes you along and show you how a delivery day goes by, pointing out the main responsibilities you should pay attention to. The next day, you’re on your own and have plenty of packages to deliver. It is up to you to pay attention to road regulations for safety and parking, while using navigation tools to arrive at the right destination. Will you break some of those regulations to meet delivery deadlines? Do you know how to handle the situation if a package has the wrong address? Are all the packages in one piece or some are broken due to bad loading and driving?

After this training, you should be prepared for the everyday challenges a carrier may face.

You are an HR manager and at the moment, you are in a management meeting. Different discussion points pass and towards the end of the meeting, the CEO addresses you for the last point of the day. He’s noticed that the company doesn’t have a particular culture that would feel inclusive to everyone, therefore it is your job to develop one.

It’s your choice whether you’ll involve employees before creating a culture plan, or create it based on your own feelings and experiences. If you interview employees, it is also your choice whether and how much of their feedback you’ll take into consideration, as well as whether the culture will be inclusive or beneficial for all groups of employees, ethnicities, etc.

Depending on your choices, you can either be praised for the developed culture principles, or you may offend employees causing dissatisfaction and losing your job.

You are an HR manager and at the moment, you are behind your desk at the office. An employee walks in and lets you know they’re quitting their job. They also say they’ve already let their manager know, who is one of your closest co-workers. You ask the employee to sit down for a goodbye feedback interview and all you receive is short and clear answers, with nothing indicating that something’s wrong.

A week later, another employee walks into your office requesting to quit their job. When asking for their work details, you notice the employee is from the same department as the one that quit last week. Will you question this employee more or will you let it go?

If you let them go and ask nothing more than regular, 2 weeks later another employee leaves the same department. Aside from this, the ones that still work in the department start complaining about the workload that fell on their shoulders.

Will you investigate what’s happening within the department and try to fix it, or you won’t mix into their ways? It is up to you whether you’ll protect the employees’ rights or stand by, watch it evolve and get to the CEO, and maybe even lose your job.

You are the new facility manager of a building and at the moment you’re in a small office with the soon-to-be former facility manager, whose place you’ll take. Aside from responsibilities such as overseeing the building, placing security procedures and following building maintenance policy, he points out that having the building prepared for a power outage is one of the most important tasks. This is the main goal of today’s training.

He walks you through the main steps of being prepared, while explaining the importance of each step. Firstly, he shares that you need to inspect the backup and auxiliary power supply sources. Secondly, you need to ensure that the building’s equipment is protected against surges, which can occur during power outages. Thirdly, ensure that all emergency lighting is operational, such as exit signs and escape lighting in stairwells, that will enable occupants to leave the building safely during an outage. And finally, review standard operating procedures to make sure they include power outage instructions and have a shelter.

Since power outages can happen due to different circumstances, like electrical overload, natural disaster or human causes, it is up to you to remember the procedures and apply them accordingly to the next power outage. Is it a business or residence building? Is the backup capacity sufficient for your building’s operations today? Has it been properly maintained and tested? Would switches or motherboards be fried with the current protection? Are there fire extinguishers? Do people know who to contact in case of power emergency? The consequences depend on your choices.

You are a nurse in a hospital and this is your first week of training. Today, you’re working a night shift and you’re under the supervision of the head nurse. At the moment, you’re doing the regular routine by checking all patients and their medical status, as well as the daily dose of medications and any assigned changes by their doctors.

When arriving to the bed of patient #62, you see the head nurse providing the prescribed medication. She joyfully greets you and asks how your night has been so far. While having a short chat, you notice on the patient’s board that the prescribed dose of the medication is higher than what the head nurse just inserted. You try to point it out, but she cuts you off by saying that she knows what she’s doing.

Being new at your job, it’s up to you what decision you’ll make next. Do you wait for the head nurse to leave the room and give the patient the rest of the dose, although you’re not authorized to give medications yet. Do you share this information with higher management or a doctor, risking to lose your job? Or do you do nothing and risk the patient’s health?

You are a teacher at a high school. At the moment, you’re in a meeting with the rest of the teachers and the school principal, discussing changes that should be made within curriculums. The principal shares that a new program has been developed which promotes inclusivity and diversity. She claims it is engaging and educational for students from all backgrounds, promoting a culture of respect and understanding. It is required that every teacher inserts parts of this program into their curriculum as they see fit. You are also warned that it may trigger certain negative behavior among some students.

You’ve decided to make use of the program by asking your students to write an essay about the beauty of a culture different from their own. At the moment, you’re in class and you’re sharing this information with your students, when one of them makes a racist joke that is offensive to individuals in the room and in general.

You try to point out to the student that this kind of behavior is not accepted in your class or in society, but the student gets angry and starts shouting and points out that certain cultures are not worthy to learn and waste their time on.

It is up to you whether and how you will calm down the situation, without being offensive to the angry student or anyone else. It is up to you whether you will change the situation by replying to hatred with anger, or with education and proper measurements.

You are a PR officer for a clothing brand in the retail industry. It is a normal working day and you’re behind your desk, doing your daily obligations. Suddenly, your phone shows multiple notifications, one after the other.

You unlock the phone and notice that all notifications come from the company’s Instagram profile. More than 50 clients have written public complaints about receiving different items than what they ordered. New comments keep coming in and if you don’t act fast, the reputation of the brand may be in jeopardy.

If you don’t figure out the core of the problem and start replying to each comment separately that the issue will be fixed, you may lose a lot of time and not resolve anything. If you take some time to find out what went wrong with the deliveries, and create publicly available content where the CEO of the brand apologizes to clients with compensation, the brand may be saved.

You’ve been hired as an architect in a construction company and have already been working together with one of the senior architects on a few projects. At the moment, you’re behind your desk finishing some administrative work, when your manager walks in.

She shares a new project request from investors that plan to build an environment-friendly building in a prestigious, eco-oriented neighborhood. Only the budget may not be enough to pull this off. Your manager stresses the fact that the company hasn’t been doing well on the financial side lately, so any new project is more than welcome. Therefore, she accepted the request of the investors and assigns you as the project architect for this challenge.

If you are faithful to the environment and ensure that the building is energy-efficient, with solar panels, plenty of natural light, and ventilation to reduce the need for air conditioning and heating, you will make it easy for the neighborhood to accept the project and possibly attract plenty of new residents. On the other hand, this would almost double the required investment and possibly anger the investors.

If you pay more attention to the available budget, the project may be completely rejected by the neighborhood and the investors may do more damage than just withdrawing their investment.

After this training, you should be prepared to make the right construction decisions and compromise when put in a difficult situation between two important options.
