Milestone Three Presentation Analysis
Milestone One – Defeating performance issues in the workplace
Spend some time searching for ideas that will form the core of your project. Once you find a good topic, write a proposal of 250-400 words. In this proposal, explain your future job, the organization, and your presentation audience. (You get to choose the workplace, your job, and the audience for your presentation. The presentation will present some information and research that would help your future workplace improve.)
Then describe your topic and what type of data you might include in your presentation. Your instructor will provide you with some feedback to help set you up for success as you begin the data collection portion of this project.
What strategies can be practiced to enhance work performance? Creating a “separation of duties” strategy in the workplace can help promote overall work performance. Survivor Inc., located outdoors in Fort Bragg, NC, is implementing a new policy that would bi-annually rotate employee’s daily duties labeled “Separation of duties” to help promote overall work performance. The thought behind this new policy is creating a healthy diversity so employees don’t get complacent and or bored with their tasks. We have created a research department to gather data, mentor individuals, and compare it to past performance information. Our target demographic will be the board and CEO of Survivor Inc. This research could potentially help motivate, elevate overall work performance, and educate future employees and staff.

The data used in the study is qualitative. The information presented is in a non-numerical form. The information is based on the opinions and observations of the respondents concerning the study topic. The use of qualitative data is essential in making business decisions, especially those aiming at ensuring a high level of employee productivity. Qualitative information is also beneficial in that it provides an opportunity for the employees to contribute to the policy-making process in an organization based on their opinions regarding different strategies (McCurdy, 2018).
While collecting the data, employees from different organizations were asked to give their opinions regarding the level of satisfaction and morale they get whenever their employers uphold different drivers of employee morale. The main factors included employee recognition in the workplace, the inspiration they acquire at the workplace, salary increment, job promotions, autonomy in the workplace, training, and self-motivation, among other factors (Baskar, 2015). The employees were asked to rate the satisfaction rates on a scale of 1 to 5, where one represented “very unsatisfied,” two described “unsatisfied,” three represented “neutral,” four represented “satisfied,” and five served “very satisfied.” Finally, the data was consolidated to produce the above information.
