Explain the diversity Training Manual.

You have just been hired as the human resources (HR) manager by your company’s chief executive officer (CEO). During your interview process, the CEO indicated that in the last 2 decades, the workforce demographics of her company have changed dramatically. Although this had been occurring, both the previous HR manager as well as all of the company’s front-line supervisors have remained as they had been for years: primarily white males, now in their 50s and early 60s, from a Judeo-Christian background. The CEO indicated that at a frequent rate, workplace strife had been increasing, and it seemed to be related to the changing demographics of the workforce itself. The CEO asked you to compile a training manual that consists of sections targeted at the training of the existing front-line supervisors. Later on, there will be sensitivity training as well as to help all employees understand the changing workforce and what it might mean for them.

To complete the CEO’s request for a comprehensive training manual, she has asked you to first create a table of contents for the manual and to complete at least 20% of the manual itself.

 

Diversity Training Manual: Overview

The content of the final complete manual will be developed throughout the course and will need to cover diversity issues, specifically the following forms of discrimination:

 

  • Religious
  • Ethnic
  • Gender
  • Age

There also must be information regarding the following information:

  • Recent trends
  • Forecasts about the changing general population
  • Legislation covering these type issues

There will need to be subsections that deal with the following information:

  • Customs and values of each group
  • The need for sensitivity to differing values and customs
  • Legislation affecting supervisor regulations

Diversity Training Manual: Part I

Given that the training manual will be dealing with several diversity issues, prepare the table of contents and write the first part of the manual, which should deal with some useful background for the company’s supervisors and managers.

The first parts that the CEO wants completed are as follows:

  • A preliminary outline of the entire manual (this may change as you work on the project)
  • The table of contents
  • The following sections regarding the demographics of the U.S. population should be included:
    • Current statistics
    • Recent trends
    • Forecasted trends
  • Using the Web sites listed, present information about trends in the U.S. populations regarding the following information:
    • Immigrant versus native *Must Include – Current Statistics, Recent Trends, Forecasted Trends
    • Religion *Must Include – Current Statistics, Recent Trends, Forecasted Trends
    • Age *Must Include – Current Statistics, Recent Trends, Forecasted Trends
    • Race *Must Include – Current Statistics, Recent Trends, Forecasted Trends

Review the information available to you in the case and write a response to Mr. Antle’s questions:

  • Should PS2 enter the Chinese market?
  • Which opportunity should PS2 pursue?
  • Could PS2 pursue both opportunities? Should they?
  • Did PS2 possess the required resources and capabilities to pursue an equity-based entry?
  • What ownership levels should PS2 assume for each option?

As you respond to each question, be sure that you explain the major issues that need to be considered. For example, what should be considered when thinking about entering the Chinese market?

Support your responses with examples.

Determine relevance of all the data and how to create value from data that is relevant.

In thinking about Big Data, organizations must consider that there is a(n):
• increase in the amount data generated ie..social media
• need for organizations to drill into massive amounts of data
• lack of resources to address analytical initiatives

As we discussed in the last module, Big Data consists of :

Volume – so much data from so many different sources. In the past, excessive data volume created a storage issue. But that is not the case any longer because storage is much cheaper now. However, other issues emerge, including how to determine relevance of all the data and how to create value from data that is relevant.

Variety -so many different formats like a tweet vs. a facebook post or a credit card purchase vs. a product search. Even non numerical data needs to be analyzed!

Velocity – data is being produced so fast these days it creates challenges for organizations on how quickly they need to react to this data and use it strategically.

So not only will there be jobs in IT, there will be jobs in all functional areas for those who know how to analyze data gathered from many sources like “the cloud”. Having this knowledge will give you a competitive advantage.

How do you get this knowledge and skill? Start by understanding how to use EXCEL to analyze data. The Pivot Table concepts is a great start. So that is what you will do in this last EXCEL assignment
A Pivot Table is a spreadsheet tool that allows you to reorganize and summarize selected columns and rows of data in a spreadsheet or database table to obtain specific information and report on it. The pivot table does not change the actual data it just provides a way and a place for you to query (ask questions of), organize and summarize specific data based on your criteria.
