Assignment: For this assignment, you will write about 3 examples of one problem that real companies have had that could've been prevented with a diversity and inclusion plan. To get you started, here are some recent examples that you can use:

Sexual harassment and sexual misconduct:

• Vice Media

• American Apparel

• Signet Jewelers (parent company of Kay and Jared Jewelers)

• Uber

Racism:

• H&M

• The Los Angeles Clippers

• Tesla

You are not limited to these cases, and you are free to use a broader definition of diversity and inclusion. You are not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sex, or sexual orientation. Feel free to incorporate cases that could've been prevented by blending different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to achieve cognitive diversity as well.

Your audience is the CEO of your company. In the introduction, you will complete a SWOT analysis to determine the current status of your company. In the body of your paper, you will analyze these cases. In the conclusion, you will make a list of recommendations to your CEO to prevent these issues from happening at your company.

You paper will include the following elements:

• A memo of transmittal ( ½ a page to 1 page)

• A cover page (see template)

• An executive summary (no more than ½ a page)

• The formal report (no more than 4 pages from the introduction to conclusion)

• References (as long as they need to be)

The memo of transmittal will be a separate document from the rest of the report, and due to the limitations of Canvas will be placed in a separate dropbox. We will discuss what a transmittal memo must contain closer to the due date. MAKE SURE YOU'RE IN CLASS FOR THAT.

The cover page will follow the template posted below.

The executive summary is a short summary of the report itself. Because it is a summary, it cannot be written until you have finished your report.

The formal report will contain an introduction, a body that contains an analysis of the three problems, and a conclusion that also includes recommendations to the CEO. The body must also contain one visual element, such as a graph or chart.

Your references must contain at least 8 sources.

This paper must be single-spaced, in Times New Roman, font size 12. Any deviation from this will result in significant point deductions.
