The following assignment will be one of a series of reports which will need to relate to allowing formulation of a “Final Project”. Please review the summary below so you may inject appropriate titles and environmental grouping in an effort to streamline the many assignments so they relate with one another;
This assignment order will need to loosely relate to the following information since ALL of the course assignments will need to be a part of the final project. Please read the following note before reviewing the assignment instructions:
Final Project Information……
Throughout this course, you will complete assignments that lead up to a final project. The project, titled “Consultant to the Client Organization,” is based on a scenario presented below. It may be helpful to refer back to this scenario as you complete each assignment.
Consultant to the Client Organization
Fig Technologies is a global technology solutions firm with offices around the globe. Fig Technologies’ corporate headquarters is just outside Mobile, Alabama. Fig recently acquired several smaller firms in different regions to expand its products and service lines. Assimilating the processes, systems, and human capital has presented a significant challenge. The leadership has chosen to bring in an outside firm to address concerns. You are the consultant from that firm, The Solution Group.
In each of the assignments in this course, you will be given a scenario to address the concern that is presented. You will be expected to develop assessment, analysis, and research in order to support your proposed solution. Often, you will be asked to present the top three solutions for the concern and support your answer. Use of course materials (textbook and required readings) and external credible materials is strongly encouraged. The scenario is not intended to have a set answer but to develop critical thinking on what can often be very emotional and opinion-based topics. Consider carefully your position and how you will support the proposed solutions.
Grading will not require simply meeting format standards and word count. It will require substantive content, research, and critical thinking. Each assignment will be a section of a comprehensive report that will be submitted to the Fig Technologies Executive Leadership Council (ELC) in written form in Unit VII. The presentation will be made in Unit VIII. Consider as you work on each assignment how it will fit into the final report that will be sent to the ELC for review. The final report will include recommendations for continued improvement regarding managing diversity in the organization.
Thank you for reviewing all that! The following assignment for this order will require three referenced sources – one of which will be the course textbook as follows;
Bell, M. P. (2017). Diversity in organizations (3rd ed.). Boston, MA: Cengage Learning.
I will attach the Unit VII Study Guide which will direct you to the appropriate coursebook reading. I will also attach the Grading Rubric.
The Assignment is as follows;
Age Demographics and Executive Summary.
The Fig Technologies Executive Leadership Council (ELC) has asked you to compile a report regarding the age demographics within the organization. Your findings are that employees between the ages of 18 to 25 comprise 11% of the workforce, employees 26 to 39 comprise 31%, employees 35 to 55 comprise 34%, employees 56 to 69 compose 18%, and the remainder are age 69 and above. You have been asked to compile a report regarding the advantages and disadvantages of developing a younger workforce in both professional and nonprofessional positions as well as for older employees 65 and above. Be sure to discuss age legislation and how this will affect any decisions the company may face. You must include a minimum of one outside resource for this component. This component of the report should be one and a half pages.
The second part of this assignment is to submit an executive summary of the comprehensive research that you have compiled throughout your consulting contract over the past seven units. Please include in your executive summary the steps for improving organizational diversity to be submitted to the ELC. The executive summary should be approximately half of a page.
** Your Half-Page Executive Summary will include the information referenced in the following assignments completed earlier (ATTACHED) including the referenced information from the paper that you just completed (Age Demographics.)***
1)Fair Treatment of Ethnicities,
2)Benefits of Organizational Diversity,
3)Improving Organizational Culture,
4)Gender and Work-Life Balance,
