Assignment 3: culturally diverse individuals are effective workers

+++ +++

Suppose you work as a human resource (HR) executive at Total  Solutions, Inc., a culturally and geographically diverse organization. A  recent government study on human statistics indicates that colleagues  who share culturally similar backgrounds perform more efficiently and  effectively on the job. These study findings, however, appear contrary  to the basic research on the value of diverse workforces. John, the vice  president of HR has read extensively about this study. He meets with  senior management to discuss if the concept can be implemented at Total  Solutions, Inc. The senior management reviews the study and decides to  execute the process in one office before a policy decision is made.

John decides that the process should be piloted in the new HR office  being set up in Atlanta. He receives the board’s permission to apply the  concept in the new office. He needs to relocate five employees from the  headquarters in New York to the Atlanta office. John obtains the list  of employees based in the New York office. The list has a brief profile  of the employees. John asks you to help him analyze the profiles and  present your recommendations as to who are the best five employees for  the Atlanta assignment.

Present your analysis to John in the form of a two- to three page  report in Microsoft Word following APA format. Make sure you provide a  clear recommendation of which five employees should be selected for the  Atlanta assignment and that you apply the basic concepts of diversity in  your selection process.  Provide rationale for your selection based on  your examination of the evidence and references to at least three  authoritative sources from the Argosy library or the Internet.

Use the following file naming convention:  LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith,  your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3. doc.

By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.
