Deliverable 4 - Global Environment Challenges Competency Create solutions for organizational and leadership challenges in a global environment. Scenario You are the HR Training and Development Manager at Lots of Stuff International, a global company. The company has offices around the globe, which requires employees to work with peers in multiple countries in cross-functional and cross-global teams. The company has recently conducted an employee engagement survey across all areas of the company. The results indicate a lack of engagement and satisfaction of employees who work in these global-cross functional teams. Upon investigation, you discover that employees indicate dissatisfaction with a lack of community and social interaction in their teams. They indicate this may be a function of culture and religious differences, time zone differences, or work ethic differences. This has led employees to be less invested in working together. The CEO, Ms. Amelia Rienhardt, has tasked you with creating a plan to develop community within these teams across the global workforce, with the end goal of enhancing engagement and satisfaction. This plan will be unveiled to all teams in a company-wide presentation. Instructions Create a presentation, including speaker notes, presenting your global employee engagement plan. The presentation should: Assess factors that may lead to a lack of employee engagement and satisfaction in working in global cross-functional teams. Address each identified factor from your assessment: Cultural differences Religious differences Time zone differences Work ethic differences Recommend a process to develop communication channels in diverse teams. Provide counsel on dealing with cross-cultural conflict. Develop a strategy for ongoing cross-cultural team building. Identify ideas for enhancing social interactions between cross-cultural work teams. Include a plan for the use of technology for employee engagement and social interaction.

Definition of Ethos and How to Use it 1. Trustworthiness Does your audience believe you are a good person who can be trusted to tell the truth? 2. Similarity Does the writer try to get the reader to identify with him or her? This can be done through language 3. Authority Does the writer have formal or informal authority? Does the writer try to relate to the reader? 4. Reputation What are the expertise the writer uses? How many does he use? What are their areas of authority? Logos: Logical reasoning, which has two bases: Deductive reasoning, and Inductive reasoning Deductive Reasoning Deductive reasoning generally start with one or more premises, and then comes to a conclusion from them. Premises can be facts, claims, evidence, or a previously proven conclusion. The key is that in a deductive argument, if the writer’s premises are true, then the conclusion must be true. 1. Education determines one’s class base. 2. One’s class base will shape one’s employment. 3. Therefore, education will determine one’s employment. Inductive Reasoning Inductive reasoning is similar in that it consists of premises, which lead to a conclusion. The difference is that the conclusion is not guaranteed to be true — we can only state it with some degree of confidence. For example, consider the following inductive argument: 5. All Six Minutes articles you have read in the past were insightful. (premise) 6. This is a Six Minutes article. (premise) Therefore, this article is insightful. (conclusion) How to Identify Logos Make it Understandable: Does the writer make the argument understandable? What tools does he or she use to do this? Make it Logical: Does the arguments make sense? Or does the writer require the reader to make an extreme leap of faith? How easy is it for the writer to make a connection to the argument? Make it Real: Does the writer make the argument real? Is the argument concrete or abstract? The language plain language: Does the writer use technical jargon or is a portion of language used for a specific reader that isn’t familiar with the reader? Does the writer use short words and phrases over long and convoluted counterparts? The language is explicit: Does the writer make his or her argument plain? What techniques does he or she use to establish explicit argument? The writer uses a couple premises, to establish his or her position? Are they relatable? Do they show relationship between them? “And these five advantages — capital costs, scheduling, inventory control, marketing, and employee satisfaction — together make this a winning proposal.” Trace sequences or processes in order. Does the writer jump around to different places or is there an order to his or her steps that create clarity or confusion for the reader? Use comparisons, analogies, and metaphors. Does the writer introduce new concepts, with an appropriate analogy which helps the audience understand the new concept in terms of how they already understand the old one?.

Definition Argument Essay Assignment Goal Write a 1,500-1,750-word essay using five to seven academic resources in which you argue that a contested “case” involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs fits (or does not fit) within a given category. A case may include a specific news article, story, or incident illustrating a dilemma or controversy relating to the exchange of human organs. The case does not need to be a court case. Directions Follow these steps when composing your essay: 1. Start by selecting a controversial case found in the media involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. For example, an appropriate case might include a story in the news about an organ broker, and the term to define might be “criminal.” 2. Decide what category you think your case belongs in, with the understanding that others may disagree with you about the definition of your category, and/or whether your chosen case matches your category. 3. In the opening of your essay, introduce the case you will examine and pose your definition question. Do not simply summarize here. Instead, introduce the issue and offer context. 4. To support your argument, define the boundaries of your category (criteria) by using a commonly used definition or by developing your own extended definition. Defining your boundaries simply means naming the criteria by which you will discuss your chosen case involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. If you determine, for example, that an organ broker is a criminal, what criteria constitute this? A criminal may intentionally harm others, which could be one of your criteria. 5. In the second part of your argument (the match), show how your case meets (or does not meet) your definition criteria. Perhaps by comparing or sizing up your controversial case to other cases can help you to develop your argument. This essay is NOT simply a persuasive essay on the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. It is an argumentative essay where the writer explains what a term means and uses a specific case to explore the meaning of that term in depth. First Draft Grading · You will receive completion points for the first draft based upon the successful submission of a complete draft. · Because your first draft is a completion grade, do not assume that this grade reflects or predicts the final grade. If you do not consider your instructor’s comments, you may be deducted points on your final draft. Final Draft Grading The essay will be graded using a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations. Sources · Include in-text citations and a references page in GCU Style for FIVE to SEVEN scholarly sources outside of class texts. · These sources should be used to support any claims you make and should be present in the text of the essay. · Use the GCU Library to help you find sources. · Include this research in the paper i.

Defining Privacy in Employee Health Screening Cases: Ethical Ramifications Concerning the Employee/Employer Relationship V Michele Simms ABSTRACT. Issues of privacy and employee health screening rank as two of the most important ethical concerns organizations will face in the next five years. Despite the increasing numbers of social scientists researching personal privacy and the current focus on workplace privacy rights as one of the most dynamic areas of employment law, the concept of privacy remains relatively ahstract. Understand- ing how the courts defme privacy and use the expectation of privacy standards is paramount given the strategic importance of the law as a legal socializing agent. This article reports on two federal court decisions involving employer drug and HIV testing whose determinations relied on assumptions about the psychological dimensions of privacy. How the courts define privacy, the outcome of this definition and the ethical ramifications as it affects the employee/ employer relationship are discussed. Introduction Each year American companies require employees to submit to millions of blood and urine tests, x-rays, and other medical and laboratory procedures. "In fact, with the exception of typing and similar skills tests for office and clerical employees, medical screening is the most widely used pre-employment test in all major employment categories" (BNA, 1987). It is predicted that in the next five years testing will become a standard requirement when applying for employment and/or health and life insurance (Rothstein, 1989). Michele Simms, as an adjunct professor of business communication and organizational behavior, has taught at the University of Michigan, Wayne State University and Oakland University schools of business in Michigan. In addition to teaching, she consults in the areas of worksite wellness, alternative dispute resolution, transition management and change. One factor contributing to the increase in employee health screening is the development of drug abuse and AIDS as socially compelling public health concerns (Falco and Cikins, 1989) that are costly to employers, thus leading to an increase and/or initia- tion of drug and HIV testing in both private and public sector employment. One concern associated with health screening is the issue of privacy and the parallel communication activity of self-disclosure that is used to express and maintain privacy states. The issues of privacy and testing involve the fundamental conflict of ethical principles between individual rights and public safety needs and are the subject today of increasing legislative and judicial activity. A peripheral ethical concern that has not been addressed but of equal importance is whether the psychological dimensions of privacy are ac- knowledged in court decisions involving employer health screening practices. Traditionally lawyers and judges Htigate and decide cases based upon principles of legal positivi.
