Imagine you are the vice president of HR for a real or fictitious organization of more than 500 employees. To support the organization’s growth, you have been asked to create a comprehensive proposal plan to present to the board of directors that addresses staffing, performance appraisal, training and development, total rewards, and organizational behavior and processes.
Create the proposal plan, which has four parts. Each part is developed in a different week. When deciding on an organization, choose one you will stay with for the duration of the project.
Begin by designing the staffing component. In a no more than 1,050-word paper, address the following:
Provide a brief background on the organization and its objectives.

Identify best practices that will support the organization’s effort toward workforce diversity, including effective ways to implement diversity, formal staffing, employee relations, and employee retention plans.

Explain how these practices and your plan would support and link staffing to key organizational objectives.
Virtual Teams
Al-Ani, Horspool, and Bligh (2011) described qualitative aspects of working in virtual teams, often with virtual strangers (Here we sit in our virtual classroom!), ranging from the continued importance of face-to-face communication to an entirely “virtual presence.” As discussed in Week 6, a multigenerational workforce presents multiple levels of leadership challenges that have continued to evolve in parallel with the Internet age and the changing dynamics of the modern worker. A leader must still lead despite where teams may fall on the continuum. Does a virtual team benefit or stifle an organizational structure? What are the new leadership toolkits necessary for success?

Assignment 2: Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
In this assignment, you will begin to think about the effect that gender has on your general everyday conversations. Answer the following questions:
Have you ever had a conversation where you were left thinking that gender differences may have created a misunderstanding?
Have you ever thought to yourself that individuals of the opposite gender think differently than you do?
It is a common stereotype that men are more comfortable with stats, or so-called report talk, like a box score in a sporting event, whereas women are more comfortable with rapport talk, or conversations regarding feelings. This gender stereotype is one example of the potential effect of gender on general communication styles. It shows some gender differences that can affect all areas.
A 2007 study conducted at the University of Chicago showed how stereotypes can actually impact math performance. Even if a person doesn’t believe a stereotype is true, but does believe other people believe it to be true, performance can be impacted.
Answer the following questions:
Are these stereotypes even accurate?
Are gender differences in communication real or simply a result of theoretical fiction?
