Create a 5-7 PowerPoint presentation. Include a cover page and reference section (these are not included in the length requirement) and write a two- to three-page memo to the CEO and President of Robert Half that highlights the main points of your project’s findings. Include your notes for each slide in the note section of your presentation for each slide. The presentation and memo must both include proper in-text citations and a references section in APA format.
Consider the following among the key things your presentation will need to address:
• Define concepts—Define organizational culture, climate, and ethical decisions and practices. Use the academic sources or other resources of like quality, written by authoritative sources.
• Identify consequences—Describe the likely consequences of these concepts for an organization’s operations.
• Describe culture and climate—Describe and differentiate between the current organizational culture and climate of your organization.
• Describe approach to ethical decisions and practices—Think about the meaning of ethics and how they are applied at Robert Half. Does your leadership model them? Are employees placed in uncomfortable situations? How are ethics communicated?
• Assess implications for organization—Assess the implications of the above issues for your organization. For example, what does it mean to your organization’s practices that the organization has the type of culture, climate, and ethics you identified?
• Recommend actions—Recommend actions the CEO should consider implementing to facilitate a shift in the organization’s culture, climate, and ethics to ensure desired or improved outcomes for your organization such as meeting its mission and values. If you do not see a need for any changes, why?
Use these sample questions to guide your work:
• What is organizational culture? How do authorities on culture define it? How does it relate to my organization? How would I describe the culture of the organization? Does the culture need to be changed? How can that be accomplished? If not, why not?
• What is organizational climate? How do authorities define climate? Do people enjoy working there? If so, why? If not, why not? Are the motivation, evaluation and reward system perceived as fair and equitable? What effect do such measures have on climate? Do they do climate surveys? What do they indicate as key concerns? Should they measure climate? How?
• What are organizational ethics? How do authorities define ethics? How does the organization enforce ethics? Do they have fair employment practices? Are employees provided clear ethical guidelines? Do they receive ethics training? How do they measure compliance? Do the leaders shape ethical decision making or not? Do they ask or imply certain marginal practices are okay? Any past scandals? How were they dealt with? What steps have been or need to be taken to eliminate recurrences?
