Role-Play Script (Taglish, 3 Scenes)
Scenario: Alex is feeling overworked (poor work-life balance) and
underappreciated (lack of recognition).
Characters (7):
Alex (Employee) – overworked and feels unrecognized.
Jordan (Manager) – Alex’s immediate manager.
Taylor (HR Specialist) – helps with HR solutions.
Sam (Team Lead) – knows team workload.
Riley (Colleague) – peer support.
Morgan (Senior Manager) – higher leadership.
Casey (Facilitator/Observer) – keeps things on track.
Scene 1: Alex Raises Concerns
Casey (Facilitator):
“Good morning, team. Nandito tayo ngayon kasi may concerns si
Alex about workload and recognition. Alex, please share.”
Alex (Employee):
“Salamat, Casey. Honestly, sobrang napapagod na ako. Almost
every night overtime, tapos parang hindi rin napapansin yung extra
effort ko. Gusto ko pa rin mag-perform, pero ramdam ko na parang
hindi sustainable.”
Jordan (Manager):
“Thanks for being honest, Alex. Hindi ko alam na ganun kalala yung
late nights mo. Ano usually yung nagpapapuyat sayo?”
Alex:
“Mostly reports and client follow-ups. Even weekends, minsan
nadadala ko pa.”
Sam (Team Lead):
“Tama ka, Alex. Nakikita ko na ikaw yung madalas nauuntog sa
deadlines. Pwede nating i-distribute yung reports para hindi lahat
sayo.”
Riley (Colleague):
“Totoo yan. Alex has been working super hard. Nakaka-apekto na sa
kanya personally. We should help out more as a team.”
Scene 2: Exploring Solutions
Taylor (HR Specialist):
“From HR’s perspective, hindi pwedeng lagi kang OT, Alex. Pwede
tayong gumawa ng rotation para sa client work. Also, baka
kailangan din natin ng recognition program—like weekly shoutouts
or appreciation posts.”
Morgan (Senior Manager):
“I agree. Recognition is important. Hindi pwedeng tahimik lang yung
effort ng tao. If hindi nabibigyan ng pansin, morale ng buong team
apektado.”
Jordan (Manager):
“So here’s an idea: 1) redistribute reports among team members, 2)
assign rotation for after-hours work, and 3) every Friday meeting,
magbibigay tayo ng recognition sa top contributions. What do you
all think?”
Sam (Team Lead):
“Sounds good. I can help oversee task distribution.”
Riley (Colleague):
“I like the Friday recognition. Mas motivating kung alam mong may
nakakapansin ng work mo.”
Alex (Employee):
“That would help a lot. Ang importante sa’kin is makita na valued
yung ginagawa ko.”
Scene 3: Agreement and Commitment
Casey (Facilitator):
“Okay, to summarize: tasks will be shared, may rotation system,
and may regular recognition. Let’s confirm commitments.”
Morgan (Senior Manager):
“As Senior Manager, I’ll make sure this system isn’t just for Alex but
for the whole department. Gusto ko makita ang kultura ng balance
and recognition.”
Taylor (HR Specialist):
“I’ll draft a simple recognition framework and circulate it. Pati
feedback system para employees can express workload concerns
earlier.”
Jordan (Manager):
“I’ll monitor Alex’s workload personally, at sisiguraduhin kong hindi
na siya lagi sa overtime.”
Sam (Team Lead):
“I’ll coordinate sa team para pantay ang tasks. No one should feel
isolated.”
Riley (Colleague):
“I’ll support Alex and the rest of the team. Kung kailangan mag-step
up, I’m here.”
Alex (Employee):
“Thank you, everyone. This means a lot. I feel heard, and now I’m
motivated again.”
Casey (Facilitator):
“Great teamwork, everyone. We’ll reconvene in two weeks to
review. Meeting adjourned.”
