Assignment 2: Organizational Metrics Presentation
Using metrics in the workplace is one of the functions that differentiate the industrial/organizational (I/O) field from other similar fields of study. Rather than only using best practices industrial/organizational (I/O) professionals also rely heavily on measurements and research using data and theory to effect change.
Scenario
For this assignment you have been asked to select an instrument to measure a workplace issue and present your recommendation to the board of directors. You will have only about 57 minutes to present your case for an instrument as an introduction to services you may provide later. To get ready you are first going to present to your classmates.
Prework: Choose a Workplace Issue and a Metric
Identify a metric (or instrument) that could be used to assess the workplace issue. The metric or instrument should be specific. For example if the situation was using personality testing to form teams you would select a specific instrument such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
