This year, Chip Widgets, Inc. released its first employee survey. Theresults reflected that the organization’s employees were not engaged orhappy, and performance has been low across all teams. The newoperations manager has been asked to create an action plan to get thecompany back on track. When developing the incentives to motivateemployees, the goals of the incentives should be tied to goals of thecompany.

For this assignment, you will be creating an action plan to improvesatisfaction, engagement, and performance for the MBOs you createdpreviously. Consider bonus programs that would incentivize the employeeteams or other initiatives, yet keep the company profitable to preparefor growth and expansion. There must be a balance and the merits mightall need to be performance based. If they are not purely performancebased, provide a compelling argument as to why they are not.

To complete this assignment, prepare a PowerPoint presentation thatyou will present to the new operations manager. In your presentation,present an outline of how you expect the operations manager to enhanceemployee engagement, satisfaction, and business results. Please includethe following in your presentation:

• A cover slide
• At least 2 slides that assess your expectations for the followingmeasures: employee engagement, employee turnover, communityinvolvement, and profit margins
• At least 2 slides that analyze how you as the HR manager willassist the operations manager with enhancing employee engagement,satisfaction, and business results in the company
• At least 3 slides that illustrate the creation of an incentivepackage that would improve the areas outlined above; if any of theincentives are not performance-based, provide a compelling argument asto why they are not
• One slide discussing other initiatives that could be implemented to enhance performance and increase engagement
• A summary slide to reiterate the action plan
• A slide containing at least two references from credible sourcesthat you used in your research for this presentation, formattedaccording to APA standards.
• For all slides except the cover and reference slides,include a minimum of 200 words in the Notes section of each slide thatexplains your rationale and provides further details for theinformation included in your slides. This information would form thenarrative of your talking points in an actual verbal presentation.

Because the company manufactures artistic widgets, feel free to add alittle creative flair to the slides while still keeping yourpresentation professional. Unless created by you, images should becited; visit this FAQ for more information.
