- A Have Kathy post a hello on the company's intranet web page.

- C Do nothing and introduce Kathy at the next team meeting.
- D Ask a team member to buddy up with Kathy and introduce her to the team.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Having another team member buddy up and introduce Kathy will help build a solid connection between Kathy and the team. It will also provide her a point of contact in case she has questions or concerns. Doing nothing will alienate Kathy and make it more challenging to integrate her with the team. Having Kathy introduce herself is not a good option as she does not know the team and may feel uncomfortable in this situation. Having Kathy post to the company's intranet web page is not a good option as many team members may not see the information, and it is not a formal introduction.Discussion
