    Purpose

    This assignment gives you an opportunity to analyze a tool used to assess the performance of a team.  You must complete this assignment individually, without contacting other students or copying a paper from any online sources, and you may not use a paper or any part of a paper from a previous class or from another person.  If you have any questions about this assignment, please post them in the Ask the Professor discussion forum so that everyone can benefit from the answers.  The assignment addresses Course Objectives 3, 4 and 5.  This assignment is worth 20% of your final grade.

    Task

    Organizations often use surveys or questionnaires to obtain information regarding employee satisfaction, organizational issues impacting staff performance, and perceptions of pay and benefits, organizational culture, etc.  Sometimes, questionnaires are used in classes for staff development and focus on behavioral styles, conflict styles, or team behaviors.  Additionally, surveys may be used to help intact teams or departments focus on and resolve team differences or performance issues.  Many times, the questions themselves provide people with insight into what the organization expects from its employees.

    **The Scenario**

    You are the leader of a cross-functional team that has not been performing well.  You are not sure what’s causing the problems, but you know that the team cannot continue this way.  You have contacted the Human Resources (HR) department for help, and they suggested using the
    _High Performing Work Teams Survey_ as a tool to diagnose problems within the team.  Every team member will complete the survey anonymously.  The HR department will analyze the results and will work with you to develop a plan to address issues.

    **Your Task**

    Read the questions in the
    _High Performing Work Teams Survey_ (see below). The survey follows these instructions.  You will analyze the questions, identify trends you see in the questions, and discuss what you and the members of your team could learn by taking this survey.

    Write 4-7 pages (
    **not counting the cover or reference pages**), summarizing the trends you identified, describing what you and your team members could learn from taking the survey, and discussing your conclusions about what is required of team members in order to create a high performing work team.  Support your opinions and statements with a minimum of five references from sources published within the last ten years.

    You can cite scholarly and practitioner-oriented journals, newspaper articles, YouTube videos, (but not Wikipedia, vendor websites, or other non-academic sources.)  Please use the UMUC library to search for appropriate sources rather than Google or other search engines.  Librarians are available by phone, email, and chat; they are excellent at their jobs and they love to help students.  See the Library link in the Resources section (on the ribbon at the top of our classroom) or go directly to
    [https://libguides.umgc.edu/home](https://libguides.umgc.edu/home) for more information and to begin searching for sources.  You can also consult a graduate writing tutor for help with organizing your ideas, presenting them clearly, and complying with APA style requirements.  You can access tutors through the Writing Tutoring module in our classroom.

    Use APA format for citations, references, and quotations.  This means your list of references should start on a separate page, and should be double spaced, with a hanging indent and no spaces between entries.  Your analysis should be 4-7 pages (not counting the cover or reference pages), double spaced with one-inch margins and a font size of at least 11 points.  The rubric for Grading High Performing Work Team Analysis is provided along with this document (it follows the
    _High Performing Work Teams Survey_).  The rubric gives details on how your analysis will be graded.  Keep in mind that most organizations value efficient communication; busy managers don’t have time – and most don’t have the desire – to read long reports.  Keep your writing clear and concise.

    Mini Case Study 1

    The employees of the Giant 78 Foods chain elect the Food Workers Union as their exclusive bargaining agent. Negotiations for an initial collective bargaining agreement begin, but after six months, no agreement has been reached. The company finds excess damage to merchandise in its warehouse and believes that this was intentional sabotage by dissident employees. The company notifies the union representative that any employees doing such acts will be terminated, and the union, in turn, notifies the employees. Soon thereafter, a manager notices an employee in the bakery section—where he has no right to be—making quick motions with his hands. The manager then finds several racks of bakery goods that have been cut. The employee is fired, whereupon a fellow employee and union member leads more than two dozen employees in an immediate walkout. The company discharges these employees and refuses to rehire them. The employees file a grievance with the NLRB. Are they entitled to get their jobs back? Why or why not?

    Mini Case Study 2

    The Dutchboy Shipbuilding Company has a shipyard in Baltimore, Maryland. During winter months, it repairs ships operating in both here and Norfolk, Virginia, and the workers at the shipyard are represented by several different unions. In 1961, the unions notified the company of their intention to seek a modification of the current collective bargaining agreement. On five previous occasions, agreements had been preceded by strikes (including illegal strikes) that were called just after ships arrived in the shipyard for repairs. In this way, the unions had greatly increased their leverage in bargaining with the company. Because of this history, the company was anxious about the unions’ strike plans. In August 1961, after extended negotiations, the company and the unions reached an impasse. The company then decided to lay off most of the workers and sent the following notice: “Because of the labor dispute which has been unresolved since August of 1961, you are laid off until further notice.” The unions filed unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB. Did the company engage in an unfair labor practice? Why or why not?

The manager then finds several racks of bakery goods that have been cut. The employee is fired, whereupon a fellow employee and union member leads more than two dozen employees in an immediate walkout. The company discharges these employees and refuses to rehire them. The employees file a grievance with the NLRB. Are they entitled to get their jobs back? Why or why not?

    Mini Case Study 2

    The Dutchboy Shipbuilding Company has a shipyard in Baltimore, Maryland. During winter months, it repairs ships operating in both here and Norfolk, Virginia, and the workers at the shipyard are represented by several different unions. In 1961, the unions notified the company of their intention to seek a modification of the current collective bargaining agreement. On five previous occasions, agreements had been preceded by strikes (including illegal strikes) that were called just after ships arrived in the shipyard for repairs. In this way, the unions had greatly increased their leverage in bargaining with the company. Because of this history, the company was anxious about the unions’ strike plans. In August 1961, after extended negotiations, the company and the unions reached an impasse. The company then decided to lay off most of the workers and sent the following notice: “Because of the labor dispute which has been unresolved since August of 1961, you are laid off until further notice.” The unions filed unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB. Did the company engage in an unfair labor practice? Why or why not?

    **## Case4.docx**

    **Module 4 – Case**

    **Total Rewards; Employee & Labor Relations; Global HR**

    **Case Assignment**

    Address the following in an essay format which includes an introduction and conclusion (not a Q & A format):

    · Companies often have several policies on time away from work. What are some examples of time away from work policies found in private-sector organizations today? Provide employer names from your research.

    · Watch this video from LinkedIn Learning,
    [_Flexibility and Unlimited Time Off._](https://www.linkedin.com/learning-login/share?account=70039330&forceAccount=false&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Flearning%2Fworking-as-a-contract-or-temporary-employee%2Fflexibility-and-unlimited-time-off%3Ftrk%3Dshare_video_url%26shareId%3D1fCtF3u3SiSNAsnZjkss2A%253D%253D) Note: Enrollment in this course includes access to LinkedIn Learning video resources. To access your account for the first time, please look for an invitation from LinkedIn Learning in your Trident University email and click on the activation button.

    · As you see in the video above, some employers have an "unlimited" vacation policy. Others have an "Employee Time-Off Policy" that allows employees a set number of paid days off regardless of the reason (instead of individual absenteeism, sick days, vacation, short-term leave, long-term leave, FMLA, and other policies). Would it be better for the King Company to have an Employee Time-Off Policy, something similar to the unlimited vacation policy discussed in the video above, or something else? Why? Support your response with research.

    Utilize information from
    **at least two Trident Online Library sources** to help strengthen and validate your discussion.

    Paper length:
    **3-4 pages** (not counting the cover and reference pages).

    Provide private-sector employer examples of HRM programs, systems, processes, and/or procedures as you address the assignment requirements. Provide names of the employers. Use different employer examples in this course than what have been used previously in your other papers and courses.

    Bring in related court case decisions to help augment your discussion, if applicable.

    Make reasonable, cost-effective assumptions in your paper. It is not an option, however, for you to hire additional help (temporary or otherwise). State your assumptions in the beginning of your discussion.

    **Assignment Expectations**

    _Your paper will be evaluated using the criteria as stated in the Case rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria:_

    ·
    **Assignment-Driven:** Does the paper fully address all aspects of the assignment? Is the assignment addressed accurately and precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length requirements?

    ·
    **Critical Thinking:** Does the paper demonstrate graduate-level analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions, and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized in the formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the topic with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?

    ·
    **Business Writing:** Is the essay logical, well organized and well written? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for graduate-level work? Are section headings included? Are paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding, or is justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct quotations?

    ·
    **Effective Use of Information:** Does the submission demonstrate that the student has read, understood, and can apply the background materials for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated effective research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality sources? Do additional sources used provide strong support for conclusions drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?

    ·
    **Citing Sources:** Does the student demonstrate understanding of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper citations (for paraphrased text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references used from the Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research) been included, and are these properly cited? Have all sources cited in the paper been included on the References page?

    ·
    **Timeliness:** Has the assignment been submitted to TLC (Trident’s learning management system) on or before the module’s due date?
