Throughout this course, we are going to draft a company policy that encourages managers to empower their employees. Several topics will be analyzed in preparing this policy to ensure that it will be successful upon implementation.

Topics that will be addressed include company culture, motivation, economics, managerial accounting, decision making, and risk management. We will work through these issues as they relate to your idea for a new policy and end with a final proposal to the executives.

Assignment :

Throughout the first two weeks, you have read about the importance of motivating employees within a company as well as how this is an economically wise decision.

The first step in this project is to come up with your idea as to how you are going to motivate the employees within the company.

I want you to explain the idea, and present research to support the importance of motivation (how it benefits both the company and the employee) as well as support for your idea specifically.

This does not need to be written as a formal research paper, but all research provided does need to be cited in APA format.

You may write in the first person because you are presenting your own ideas.

You do not need to provide an abstract, but you do need an APA formatted title page and reference page.

Your paper should be a minimum of 2 pages (approx. 700 words) not including the title and reference.
