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 two reference sources – one of which will be the course textbook as follows; Bell, M. P. (2017). Diversity in organizations (3rd ed.). Boston, MA: Cengage Learning. You may access the course Ebook through the following access site: https: The Chapter content will require referencing from Chapters 9 and 10. I also will attach the Unit III Study Guide which will assist you. The other source will be one of your choosing, please. The Assignment Instructions; Gender and Work-Life Balance Fig Technologies wants industry research on gender and work-life attitudes to present an overview of the position of project managers in two geographic areas. You will present this report in a two-page (excluding the title and reference pages) assessment of the position based on information available. In your report, be sure to address the issues below.
Analyze the demographics of gender in the workplace with regard to position, pay, and expectations. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of flexible schedules and work responsibilities. Determine the potential human resources benefits of offering child and elder care in the organization. Explain work-life balances regarding achieving greater results for the organization. Support your recommendation through the use of at least two sources, one of which can be the textbook. Content should be two to three pages in length. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. All references and citations used must be in APA style. Have some fun with the assignment. Use your creative thinking along with your critical thinking to include your perspective of the findings and how to address the issues.
