The Impact of Happier Employees

Envision yourself as the middle manager in your organization. You will create a PowerPoint presentation for upper-level leadership in an effort to initiate an organizational contribution to employees who are interested in outside professional certification.

In your presentation, address the following:

• Summarize any connections between professional certifications and employee motivation.
• List examples of professional certifications.
• Calculate any cost associated with the professional certification.
• Explain to your superiors how you will use the 4 Functions Approach to plan, organize, lead, and control this effort.
• Describe the impact of a happy employee.
• Show any benefit(s) to the customers/stakeholders.

Your well-written PowerPoint should meet the following requirements:

• 8-10 slides (minimum) including title slide and reference slide(s)
• Cite a minimum of two scholarly sources, at least one of which is not provided in, or linked from, the course. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to find scholarly sources!
