Employees who are highly engaged are committed to their work and see themselves as helping “build a cathedral.” Disengaged employees have essentially checked out—they are merely “laying bricks” for a paycheck, not building a cathedral. According to the Gallup report of 2013, only about 30% of the American workforce was “engaged”, and international data showed essentially the same results. In 2019, Gallup found that engagement had risen somewhat (about 2%) since 2013. (Both reports are posted in Module 7.)
This paper will be the completion of the work that you have done in EEs 1 and 2, in which you identified a problem in your organization (in EE 1) and dug deeper to find the root causes of it (EE 2). In this assignment, you will imagine yourself to be the person in charge of “fixing” the problem. To do this, you will design a process that will achieve the deliverables below:
Deliverables
Paper Deliverables:
- For purposes of this assignment, treat “engaged” as if it means “inwardly committed to the good of the business." To solve the problem that you characterized in EEs 1 and 2, which employees (or levels within the organization) will you need to “engage” in order to fix that problem?
- Who would be involved? Would the team be cross-functional?
- Using Lewin’s 3-Stage Model, how would you engage the team to get their commitment to the development and implementation of a solution to the problem? (See Lessons 7 and 8.)
- What steps would you take to resolve the problem? How would you assure “buy in”?
- Incorporate paper requirements as shared below in "Paper Specifics."
This paper should not exceed 7-9 pages, excluding the title page and references.
- Papers need to be formatted in proper APA style. (Among other things, that means it should be divided into sections, and the section headings should be in bold font, left flush) and also be objective in nature, meaning you are showing backing for your thoughts from the literature (citing throughout your text).
- The cover page and reference page/s are not included in the above-stated page requirement. These should be in addition to page requirements.
- This paper requires a minimum of at least five credible (less than 5 years old unless you are citing theoretical work) sources for your references.
- Acceptable/credible sources include: Academic journals and books, industry journals, the class textbook, the lectures, and sources cited in the lectures. You may use credible business website sources in addition to these but avoid Wikipedia and “shortcuts” such as Mindtools. Wikipedia and Mindtools are not considered valid academic sources (even though they are sometimes good.) This is an academic paper that needs to include scholarly research.
- Using your textbook is highly recommended to demonstrate that you have read the required material.
