Consider the following scenario:
Place yourself in Sean’s position and suppose that you are determined to implement a hybrid work model for the company. Some employees will remain in the office full-time, whether they’re in the field or in the corporate office building, and other employees can work remotely one or more days per week.
You—in Sean’s position—anticipate that some employees and senior leaders will still have reservations about your decision, so you decide to create a presentation for your senior leadership team that recommends a hybrid work model.
As you develop your presentation, consider balancing the needs and desires of the workforce with the desire to maintain company culture. Consider the commitment to digital transformation, reduced carbon footprint, and corporate social responsibility. Think about diversity of workforce and how the decisions around hybrid work impact diversity, equity, and inclusion within the community. Lastly, consider the financial impact of this decision, including the impact to the local community.
Propose your recommendations to the company’s senior leaders for implementing a company-wide hybrid work model. Be sure to address the following questions that your senior leaders may have:
What are the practical challenges and considerations involved in implementing a hybrid work model, including technological infrastructure, communication protocols, and managerial practices? (2–3 slides)
What is your stance on balancing the needs and desires of the workforce with the desire to maintain company culture? (1 slide)
What is the impact of a hybrid work model on the company’s commitment to digital transformation, reduced carbon footprint, and corporate social responsibility? (1–2 slides)
How does a hybrid work model affect the company’s ability to diversify its workforce? What are the potential impacts of this decision on diversity, equity, and inclusion within the community? (2 slides)
What are the financial considerations for the company? What role does the community play in relying on the company to be a financial contributor? (1–2 slides)
Cite and reference all sources using APA format and style guidelines and submit in a single document.
For your notes section on each slide, be sure to include either bulleted points or a few short paragraphs to serve as your “speaker notes” if you were to give this presentation in front of a live audience.
Refer to the Week 5 Assignment Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this rubric to assess and grade your Assignment. Please Note: For each slide of your presentation, you must include APA-formatted, peer-reviewed, scholarly citations
