In order for an organization to increase employee engagement, the company may use various methods. Discuss the influences and learning in the workplace that contribute to training and development. In addition, address your personal experience with employee engagement.

It can be said that the most important talent management challenge that managerial positions face is identifying employees with managerial ability and training and developing those skills. Identify the factors related to identifying employees with managerial ability and training and developing those skills, and summarize what is needed to successfully manage an organization globally.

Topic 1:

 Discuss what talent management is and why it is a consideration addressed by a growing number of employers.
 

Topic 2:

 Based on your experiences, as well as the research online, what are some good “rules of thumb” for conducting successful performance appraisal interviews?

Case Study: Understanding Process Measurement Variation

Introduction

For this assignment, you will conduct an experiment then create supporting visuals to be placed in a PowerPoint presentation of your findings. Your presentation should be easy to read and have a consistent design theme throughout. Please complete the first four chapters in the following LinkedIn Learning course on PowerPoint essentials before creating your presentation:

• PowerPoint2019 Essential Training.

To help you learn about measurement variation, try this experiential learning exercise. (We are indebted to Alan Goodman, DuPont Company, Wilmington, Delaware, for bringing this exercise to our attention.)

Scenario

UPDATE: Due to COVID-19, students will NOT be collecting their own data for this assignment. Instead, your instructor will share the data sets with you.

You have started a new business providing height measurements of humans. Your customers expect accurate and precise measurements. You offer two methods of measurement: a yardstick or meterstick, and a tape measure. You must test the two methods to evaluate their performance and provide the results to your customers.

For this experiment, you will need the following:

• A yardstick or meterstick.
• A tape measure.
• Access to a single entrance door that is six feet or taller.
• Twenty or more individual participants.

Instructions

Method 1

You will test Method 1 in this way:

1. Ask each participant to measure the height of the entrance door using the yardstick or the meterstick.
2. The participant will report the measurement to you or someone you have designated as the data collector. If the participants are together, make sure that they don’t reveal their answers to anyone but the data collector.
3. Tabulate the data and plot each measurement on a run or sequence chart. No deviation from the prescribed method is allowed.

Method 2

For Method 2, you may use the same or a different set of participants and the same entrance door or another door.

1. This time, the participants will use the tape measure in any way they desire.
2. Again, each person silently reports the measurement of the door to you or a designated data collector.
3. Tabulate and plot each data point as in Method 1.

PowerPoint Presentation

Create a PowerPoint presentation in which you complete the following:

1. Compare the accuracy and precision of the two methods using graphical and analytical methods.     
   • Develop a flow chart for each method in which you specify the key problems that might be present.
   • Develop the supplier, input, process steps, output, and customer (SIPOC) model to analyze the process of both methods.       
     • This may also be done in the flow chart. (Please reference these instructions on how to create a flow chart in Microsoft Word.)
2. Identify the method that was most accurate. Provide a rationale for your response.
3. Analyze the flow chart and SIPOC model to identify opportunity for improvement (OFI).     
   • Next, categorize whether the OFIs are caused by special causes or common causes variations. Provide a rationale for your response.
   • Identify which method of measurement you would recommend. Explain why.
   • Discuss whether different methods should be used under different circumstances. Consider the role of different customer segments.
4. Discuss the feelings the participants experienced when using the two methods.     
   • Describe the differences between the two sets of feelings.
   • Assess whether these differences are important. Provide a rationale.
5. Use Basic Search: Strayer University Online Library to identify at least two quality references to support your discussion.

Additional Requirements

Your assignment must meet these requirements:

• PowerPoint presentation of at least eight content slides with responses to numbers 1 through 4 above.
• Presentation includes a reference slide and a cover slide with the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.     
  • Note: The cover and the reference slides are not included in the required minimum number of slides.
• Formatting of the slides should be consistent and easy to read.

URL: www.salary.com

Site Description: Salary.com offers compensation information by providing industry specific-links to a variety of salary surveys and sources. In addition to being a valuable source for competitive job pricing information, it is an excellent resource for individuals to find out the market value for their job, search for job opportunities, and educate themselves about how to become more marketable. The site also does a fine job of explaining the importance of identifying and understanding the components, other than base salary, which comprise total compensation.

Directions for exploring the site: Enter your job title or keyword into the search field (you can also add a location). If you are currently unemployed, use your previous job or a job you hope to have after graduation. The site will provide a list of different jobs that meet your title/keyword. Brief descriptions are also provided to help you figure out which one matches the best. You can select up to 3 jobs to compare salaries. You’ll have to click the job title (or if comparing multiple jobs, the “free salary data”) to see the results.

Questions:

How does your current salary compare to the national averages? What is the closest percentile (10, 25, 50, 75, or 90)? If currently, unemployed, what are the salary levels at the 25, 50, and 75 quartiles?

Has this research changed your level of satisfaction with your salary? If yes, how? If no, why not?

Much of the information presented at this site is targeted toward job seekers or employees. In what ways is this information specifically relevant for organizations and managers?

What did you think of the information/resources presented under the “Articles” section (under Personal menu tab)? Which recommendations/resources did you like most and least? Was the information sound? Was it useful? What additional topics do you think they should add?

Analyze the information presented in this case study, present your communication plan, and answer the questions below. Your case study paper should be at least three pages in length and should follow APA guidelines. 

Your communication plan should address the following questions: 

What are your concerns? For example, how will you motivate the employees to stay throughout the 60 days if they have other job offers? How will you motivate all employees to maintain their productivity levels? 

1. From a letter to the editor: “the idea of a free press in America today is joke. A small group of people, the nation’s advertisers, control the media more effectively than if they can dictate everything from programming to news report content. Politicians as well as editors shiver in their boots at the thought of such a boycott. This situation is intolerable and ought to be changed. I suggest we all listen to National Public Radio and public television”. Is there an argument in this phrase, if yes what is the premise and conclusion

Discussion 02.2: Health Care Structure

.Review the structure of your health care insurance plan.

.From your readings, discuss what organizational structure appears to form the basis for your plan. Is it an IPA, a PPO, a staff model or group model, and so forth?

.Include speculation on how physicians are likely paid. Is it a pure traditional indemnity plan?

If you currently do not have a work health care plan, you can review one from a past work environment, your current student plan and/or the plan of a friend or relative.
