what positive measures should organizations take to ensure that employees are prepared to take on the day-to-day human relations communication challenges associated with working as the member of a team?
Discussions: The days of working on an individual basis in the workplace are over. Positions that are not involved in a team, committee, or work group at some point during the year are extremely rare. Unless formal training is provided for a team, it is common to find dysfunction within a team.
Based on your readings this week (see Content – Week 6 – Reading and Resources), what positive measures should organizations take to ensure that employees are prepared to take on the day-to-day human relations communication challenges associated with working as the member of a team? Be creative in your answer!
You may find appropriate articles at the end of each chapter, and/or identify articles through the APUS online Library. Finally, be sure that all discussions are answered in full, in order to ensure the best possible grade based on the work submitted.

Describe how the Estée Lauder report uses data and other information.
Overview
Business reports often communicate an analysis of a scenario or aspect of a business in relation to a strategic goal or need. These types of reports can include the status of the organization, stakeholder summaries, market trends, and financial statements. The main goal of business reports is to help leaders in developing strategies and making decisions or recommendations for the improvement of business. Additionally, business reports may also provide analysis of potential worst-case scenarios, solutions to issues currently faced by an organization, and a review of best practices and analogous situations faced by similar organizations.
Prompt
For this assignment, you will take on the role of a business manager who is in the planning phase of building a stakeholder summary report. You need an example from an organization in the same industry to get ideas and structure your report in the best way possible. You have identified the following report as a potential model:
Review the report and think about what story it tells you based on the numbers and visualizations provided. Address the following questions in your post. Make sure to use evidence to support your responses.
Content
- How does the report use data?
- How does it use specific contexts, terms, and figures?
Presentation
- How does the overall look of the presentation appeal to readers?
- How does the report meet or not meet its objective?
Please answer the following questions in your response in order.
Describe how the Estée Lauder report uses data and other information. What data is used in the report? How does it use specific terms and figures? Your response should be 100–200 words.
What data visualizations are provided in the report? How do the data visualizations help convey information that is both useful and easy to understand? Your response should be 100–200 words.
Explain how the report is organized. Does it start with a general introductory paragraph? Does it pull the reader in with a surprising bit of news? How is the report divided up? What ideas about structure might you adopt for your report? Your response should be 50–100 words.
Explain how the report makes use of images that are unrelated to data. Do the images illustrate points effectively, or are they merely decorative? Why do you think the report does or does not use images effectively? What ideas about using images might you borrow for your own report? Your response should be 50–100 words.
Assess the effectiveness of the report. How does the overall presentation appeal to readers? How does the report meet (or not meet) its objective? What do you think are the report’s best qualities, and what aspects might you improve on in your own stakeholder report? Your response should be 100–200 words.
Identify who benefits from this product in both the company and the community.
Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
- Communicate professionally to diverse internal and external audiences
Scenario
Your presentation to stakeholders was wildly successful and the company has determined that it is in their best interest to move forward with the diversification strategy you recommended. Since you did so well with the presentation, you have been asked by company leadership to prepare a draft of the press release that will go out to announce this new strategy. Your press release is meant for the external audience that was not represented at the all-stakeholder meeting: a group that includes customers, vendors, suppliers, and the general community.
Directions

Using the template provided in the supporting materials section below, draft a press release that reflects your company’s new venture and how it affects the general external audience. Your press release should address the following rubric criteria:
- Address the key points appropriate for external audiences.
- Summarize the diversification decision.
- Explain why the decision was made.
- Explain where in the marketplace the new products are launching.
- Identify who benefits from this product in both the company and the community.
What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit your completed press release template of 1 to 2 pages using the provided templates, or the document you downloaded from Soomo. Sources should be cited according to APA style.
Supporting Materials
The following resources support your work on the project:
Identify some of the major issues facing the United States Correctional System today.
Utilizing the article you researched for this week, information from your textbook, class discussions throughout the semester, and any other information or resource you’d like to pull in, write a two-page on the following topic:
Identify some of the major issues facing the United States Correctional System today. You may cover anything we’ve discussed over the course of the semester that we have defined as a “problem” in our correctional system. Specifically discuss the factors that lead to widespread feelings of frustration and futility with the system, on the part of offenders, correctional employees and administrators, victims, families, or any other “group” whose association or relationship to the correctional system is affected by its present function in this country. Then articulate your vision for “correcting” or reforming some of the problems with the system.
Explain your choice of one general education interdisciplinary lens for analyzing your topic.
Overview
For your project, you will examine a specific topic, such as an issue or event in diversity, and how it impacts individuals and society. You will demonstrate your ability to think critically, investigate, and communicate clearly. Diversity influences society, and society influences diversity, creating a feedback loop between them. You will critically analyze a feedback loop in this project through social, historical, and theoretical approaches to diversity as well as the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social science.
For this assignment, you will select the topic you will be working on and begin to collect the required elements for your analysis. This assignment requires you to gather reliable evidence from varied sources and use them to introduce your topic effectively. All these elements will prepare you to complete the project, where you will need to use evidence to support your points.
Directions
Review the module resources and the instructor feedback you received on the previous activity. Then, visit the IDS 400 Library Guide for guidance on how to select and narrow a topic. You may use the topic that you worked with in the previous module or choose something different now that you have reflected further. Do some preliminary research on your topic to make sure you can address each of the required elements. Please remember that you will not be able to change your topic after the end of this module. You should begin to gather the sources you will integrate into your project, which must include two resources from course materials and two resources from the library.
You are not required to answer each question below the rubric criteria but may use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis.
It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work.
You will be evaluated on both criteria.
Describe your topic with effective details and contextual information.
What main points should you include about your topic? What other details are needed to ensure a thorough description?
Describe a population significant to your topic. Include information such as demographics, cultural practices, social identity, and key challenges.
Examples could include a population who is directly impacted by the topic, a group that works with those directly impacted, or a group that has strong feelings about the topic.
Articulate how the topic has shaped the lives and experiences of your chosen population.
What stories clearly illustrate how the topic has impacted the lives and experiences of your chosen population?
Explain your choice of one general education interdisciplinary lens for analyzing your topic.
What made you choose one lens over the others? Was it an easy decision? Why or why not?
Construct a thesis statement that combines your topic, population, cultural situation, and choice of general education interdisciplinary lens.
Your thesis statement should clearly and concisely state the relationships between your topic, population, cultural situation, and lens. It acts as a hypothesis proposing how these elements will work together during your critical analysis.
What to Submit
Submit your short paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

Capstone Component 2: Professional Reflection
For the second and final component of your capstone, you will compose a reflection in which you discuss the process and outcomes of this project, as well as how your coursework culminated in the capstone project. This may include discussions of unforeseen problems or obstacles, and any unexpected surprises. The reflection should also discuss your identified strengths and problems that you encountered while completing the capstone. Finally, the reflection will examine how the capstone project will be useful in the job market or in furthering your education.
You should envision this component as a personal reflection on the capstone and your experience in the business core program as a whole. For instance, relative to the capstone, you could discuss what you did (or intended to do), and then consider what worked well, what challenges you faced, and what you would change or do differently to make your experience better. In reflecting on your time in the business core program, you might discuss where you started, where you are, and where you see yourself going. Note that this component is not about evaluating the capstone itself but rather your experience within the capstone project.
Some of the issues that you could address in this final component of this capstone include the following:
- Overall, what was your capstone experience like?
- Reflect on your experience performing the Capsim simulation.
- Reflect on the significance of the capstone in relation to your own experience at SNHU.
- What connections do you see between your capstone and your academic program?
- How will you apply what you have learned to your future academic and/or professional life?
- How did you demonstrate effective business communication in both this capstone course and throughout the business core program?
- How will you utilize these business communication skills in your future classes here at SNHU and in the working world after graduation?
- Reflect on your experiences with peer-to-peer and peer-to-leader collaboration in this capstone course.
- How has peer-to-peer and peer-to-leader collaboration influenced your performance and decision making in this class?
- Reflect on establishing and maintaining a professional business etiquette in both this capstone course and throughout the business program.
