Submit your work as an MS PowerPoint ATTACHMENT. No other
file format can be accepted (i.e., no .pdf, read-only formats, etc.).
The final project requires you to
develop a PowerPoint slide presentation for use as a training tool with line
managers and supervisors on how to resolve conflict, as well as deal with
difficult people, in the workplace.
Instructions:
The presentation should briefly outline
(i.e., no more than 2-3 slides) the negative issues associated with allowing
conflict in the workplace to go unchecked, and focus most of your presentation
(i.e., 8-10 slides) on the positive measures, programs, and processes that
organizations can/do adopt to mitigate conflict and negative employee behavior
in the workplace. Many organizations have extended conflict resolution programs
beyond Human Resource Development (HRD) programs and processes by changing
human resource management (HRM) policies and programs to meet the special needs
of the new workforce. A growing number of organizations are holding managers
formally accountable for resolving employee concerns and/or grievances
internally, within their departments. For example, incorporating such goals and
objectives into their performance evaluation process. As the HRD manager for
your organization, what new training programs and processes would you propose
to senior management to develop effective training and conflict resolution
methods that will ultimately lead to a climate in which all employees can
thrive within the organization and contribute to its success?
Submission Instructions: Submit your work as an MS PowerPoint
(.ppt) presentation. The body of your
presentation should include at least 10-12 presentation slides, in
addition to a title slide, introduction slide(s), and references at
the end of your presentation for a total of no more than 15 slides. PowerPoint presentations longer than
15 slides will not be read after the 15th slide. As such, please ensure that
all assignment questions are answered within the first 15 slides, as your grade
will be based on the first 15 slides received.
Your grade will be based on your
ability to follow assignment instructions, research conducted, the
effectiveness of the training proposed, critical thinking and analysis, and APA
format.
Please support your ideas, arguments, and
opinions with independent research, include at least three (3)
supporting references or sources (do NOT use encyclopedias, Wikipedia,
unknown, undated, or anonymous sources, such as brief articles from websites), and include a reference section (i.e., 1-2 slides), and cite all sources properly
in the text of each slide, in accordance with the 6th edition of the APA
manual, Chapters 6 & 7.
Students are encouraged to use the Notes section of
the slides in formulating the presentation as a way to minimize lengthy
narrative on the slides. This approach will allow the use of bullet points on
the slides but demonstrate the depth and scope of the research conducted in the
Notes section.
