You have a company that was hit hard by a recession. It had to lay off 25% of its 1,000 employees. And those that were left had to take a 15% pay reduction and also take on additional responsibilities of those who were laid off. Over the next 3 years, the economy got better, pay rates were restored, and hiring began again so that workload was reduced to previous levels. However, the company realized that morale had been more permanently negatively affected than they had first realized.
- How can the company best work with HR to strategically address increasing morale?
Create a new discussion topic by clicking the ‘**REPLY HERE**’ post. In your reply, you will post your answers to the Skill Building Activity questions. Your response to the activity questions should be a minimum of 250 words. Going over the minimum word length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for 1000+ words! It is suggested that you use MS Word or another word processing application that can check spelling/grammar and can show the word count.
Because this is a skill building activity, it is important that you do your best to evaluate and assess the discussion without bias or judgment. You are expected to properly cite (https://gmcga.libguides.com/citationmanagement/APA7th) and incorporate scholarly/peer reviewed sources (http://gmcga.libguides.com/periodicals) in your skill building activity topic/posts.
Be as thorough as possible when writing your activity topic/posts, and remember, this is an academic assignment, so no “text-talk,” no conversational tone, and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS… don’t plagiarize!! Lastly, spell-check and proofread your work! Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade.
