A project mission is the main purpose of the project. What have you set out to accomplish every day?

A vision statement is something you hope to achieve. What can you hope to accomplish one day?

Goals are non-specific ideas about what you want your company to succeed at. (Like bringing fun and happiness to your town)

Objectives are concrete milestones that help you meet those goals. (Live music, Good food, and exciting events could help you bring fun)

 Explain how balancing the interests of global and local, occupational and functional perspectives may play out in a compensation decision scenario? 

For this project, imagine you have been asked to develop a training  program for several project groups within your organization. The project  groups have been experiencing difficulties in meeting objectives.  Specifically, the problems observed include accurate decision-making and  cohesiveness, power struggles, and even some potential bias against  members. 

You must develop a training program you will facilitate with each of the groups. Your program must

1. Draw attention and help create awareness for these issues observed
2. Suggest solutions and facilitate the groups to help resolve these issues

You must use the material you have learned in Weeks 4-7. You will be  submitting a Powerpoint file. While there is no maximum number of  slides, it should be comprehensive enough to cover the material, while  also not being extremely boring (imagine a 90 minute workshop). It  should also be dynamic, looking to engage employees in the discussion.  Create all workshop materials as well. If you decide to ask for  pre-workshop work to be completed, develop the Powerpoint as if they  have already completed the work, but put in notes that the slide is  referencing work already completed. 

Submit both the Powerpoint and the additional materials as Word documents below

question-

Read the following hypothetical. Using your issue-spotting skills, analyze the potential exposure to liability of the Accounting Firm based on the actions of the Partnership Review Committee.

Anne is an accountant at a large Accounting Firm. She applied for Partner, but was denied. In their report, the all-male Partnership Review Committee stated that Anne would have a better chance at making Partner if she wore makeup, jewelry, and acted more femininely. Over the past 10 years with the Firm, Anne has received excellent performance evaluations and recently secured a $10M client for the Firm.

Instructions: Please write in essay format.  Include the guidance below in your analysis:

a) Set forth the federal statute and/or theories of law that are applicable.

b) Identify the legal issue(s) that exist and claims that may be brought based on the facts of the case.

c) Apply the facts of the case to the elements of the law/theories of law.

d) Cite a case in the text which is on point with the scenario, or compare and contrast with a case in the text.

e) Provide an action item agenda of specific objectives you would recommend implementing in order to prevent future exposure to liability. Be specific (e.g., if training is a recommendation, describe the type of training in detail).

Students response

Based on the information that was provided the Accounting Firms potential exposure to a liability claim with Anne is for Disparate Treatment (Prmia Facie Case) and Disparate Impact.  Discrimination of the facially neutral policy under the Title VII guidelines protects Anne because she falls within a protected class.  Under the Title VII Provisions “An employer cannot discriminate based on Gender.”  This would apply to promote equal opportunity in the fundamentals of employment relationship: Hiring/firing/promotions.  The fact that Anne is a female applying for a position with an all-male Partnership review committee, who decided to not hire her based on her gender.  Facially neutral policy states that a specific workplace policy that applies to all employees. In reference to case: 42 U.S.C Section 1981. – Equal Rights under the Law “Patterson v. McLean Credit Union”.

The fact that Anne was qualified for the position based on her tenure with the company for 10 years and in her performance reviews received excellent ratings and the fact that she was an asset by securing a $10M client makes her eligible to apply for the position as partner.

Compensatory damages should be awarded to Anne for her hardship. – Money awarded to compensate the injured party of direct losses
