- Identify and Describe a Workplace Problem
Identify and describe a workplace problem with which you are familiar, perhaps drawing upon experiences from your current or previous places of employment. Make sure that the problem is broadly defined because you will likely be approaching this problem from multiple I/O perspectives. For this we will talk about the recruiting and selection process.
- Identify Three Past Assignments to Convert into Work-Sample Poster Presentations
Use the 3 attached assignments. Drawing upon these three past assignments, you will create an individual poster presentation for each one that illustrates your competence in the three course content areas that you have chosen. Provide a rationale for why the three course content areas you have highlighted in your posters are relevant for addressing the workplace problem scenario that you have chosen. You may choose to convey this rationale in either written, video, or audio presentation format.
o The purpose of this step is to help you begin to build a professional portfolio that you can use throughout your I/O career to showcase your knowledge, skills, and abilities. You want to make sure that the work you choose to include in this portfolio reflects positively on your professional competence.
o The inclusion of these poster presentations converted from your previous assignments is serving to build your credibility as a competent I/O expert from the potential employer/client point of view.
o Remember, the purpose of this assignment is to showcase your strengths as an I/O professional. If that requires polishing, enhancing, or modifying your three chosen previous assignments, then that is completely acceptable, and encouraged, within the parameters of this assignment.
- Create a Power Point Presentation
Next, you are to create a presentation that:
a. Describes the workplace problem scenario that you have developed for this assignment
b. Explains why you are a qualified professional to help improve the workplace problem
c. Provides your professional diagnosis regarding the workplace problem
d. Describes your proposed intervention plan for the described workplace problem
e. Summarizes the theoretical framework that supports your plan
f. Explains how you will measure the impact of your intervention and explains the importance of evaluation as a part of any organizational intervention plan
g. Describes any ethical, legal, or diversity-related issues with regards to the workplace problem scenario and/or your intervention plan
Your multimedia presentation should be of professional quality for your Microsoft PowerPoint portfolio presentation. Approach this assignment as if you would actually present this to a potential client or future employer.
Your final deliverable will consist of your portfolio that includes your three work-sample posters and your multimedia presentation. Your intended audience for this assignment is either a prospective future client or employer; whichever is more appropriate for your career goals.
You are to utilize a minimum of 9 scholarly references from professional literature in your presentation. Professional literature may include relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, and .gov). Your communication (written, oral, video, or other illustrative media) needs to be developed in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA); and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
