Mail Packaging and Supply Company
Deliverable Length: 5-6 slides with notes
In the last section, you outlined your goals/strategies for
your new business. In this project, your group, acting as management
consultants, will develop a PowerPoint presentation about motivation and
leading of human resources in the business.
You will be preparing a presentation as a business
consultant for the ownership team of the Mail Packaging & Supply Company.
The business owner needs help in identifying ways to motivate and lead
employees. Currently, the employees are being treated as if they were members
of a big family. Unfortunately, this family is going broke because too few
members are working hard enough to make money for it. They are happy,
comfortable, complacent, and lazy.
With sales dropping, the Mail Packaging & Supplies
Company owner brought in your group of management consultants. You immediately
notice that employees are being paid a good salary and that they receive
year-end bonuses regardless of performance. Every Friday, the business owner
brings in bagels for the employees, and he treats employees to group birthday
lunches once per month. Employees feel satisfied, but have little motivation to
work very hard. Job satisfaction and morale are important in maintaining good
employees.
The goal of the presentation is to outline the plans for
motivating and leading the human resources component of the business. Your
presentation should be 5-6 body slides, a title slide, and a reference slide.
Your slides should be limited to bullet points and visuals, but your group
should include complete talking points (what would be said during the
presentation) in the notes section of the PowerPoint presentation.
Research is required for this assignment. Do not use your
own undocumented opinions. Rather, your plans and recommendations should be
based upon materials written by experts in the field. These materials will
become your references and should also be cited on the slide or in the talking
points.
YOUR OBJECTIVE for this assignment is to outline the
following items in your group’s presentation:
Brief introduction of the business.
An example of job satisfaction or employee morale concerns
facing the business.
An outline of your plans to motivate and lead employees to
solve the concerns facing the business.
Make recommendations to the business owner. The goal of the
recommendations is to change the working environment in ways that will motivate
greater effort and generate greater productivity.
The slides are quick bullet points of information where the
speaker’s notes is the full explanation of each bullet point on the slide as
well as any other information needed in order to justly present the
information.
Be sure to document the research sources you used as the
last slide should be your reference list.
