n this assignment you have the opportunity to look at employee voice and protections and restraints on that voice.
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation (10-12 slides, not counting the cover slide or the references slide). Your presentation should include at least two of the following: tables, charts, pictures, drawings, or other visuals. (For example, you may want to include two tables, or one table and a pie chart.) These visuals should provide important information to significantly enhance your presentation. Be sure to explain the visuals to your audience. The presentation is being conducted on the shop floor and is being specifically directed to first-line supervisors and must stipulate what employees can and cannot openly say about their coworkers, supervisors, and employer. Cover how the term “protected concerted activities” affects workplaces.
You may choose which is more effective for your presentation— provide speaker notes (at the bottom of each slide), or record your actual voice over the slides.
Include at least 4 additional sources to help strengthen your discussion.
Please upload your paper by the module due date.
