Overview

In Week 7 you created a report to design an ethical audit. The next step, in this assignment, is to create and implement an ethical action plan.

Scenario

QuantumNet Innovations is a well-established tech firm that prides itself on innovation and diversity in the workplace. As an HR manager for the company, you recently submitted a report recommending the design of an ethical audit to gather data regarding alleged discrimination at the company. Now that the audit is over, leadership has tasked you with creating and implementing an ethical action plan for the company.

Instructions

Address the following in a 5-6 page report to company leadership:

1. Write a 4-5 sentence summary of the discriminatory issue the plan will address. (Note: Refer to the audit report you created in Week 7.)
2. Using the data from your Week 7 ethical audit report, identify at least 5 categories of data to address in your ethical action plan and explain why you selected this data. (Note: You can make all necessary assumptions or inferences to apply the data to the given scenario.)
3. Based on the data and presumed audit findings, develop a comprehensive ethical action plan with four specific recommendations to address the discrimination issue identified. Prioritize actionable steps that can be taken to mitigate bias, promote inclusivity, and create a more diverse and equitable work environment.
4. Determine three actions that organizational leadership can take to support the plan based on the following categories:
   • Leading by example to create a culture of respect and equality.
   • Holding individuals accountable for discriminatory behavior.
5. Determine three ways the proposed actions in this plan can improve stakeholder perspectives and trust in the company leadership. Support your response with specific evidence.
6. Recommend a policy or guideline to monitor progress, track key metrics, and follow up on the implementation of recommended actions.
7. Propose two ways the company can regularly review and evaluate the impact of interventions to ensure sustained progress in preventing discrimination.
