Scenario

After completing the training mentioned in the Module Two email, the start-up organization that hired you as human resources (HR) director has experienced significant growth. What was initially a few hundred employees has grown into 1,200 employees spread out in multiple locations across the United States. It’s an exciting time for the organization, and more growth is planned for the next 12 months. This growth will double the company’s size.

As an HR professional, you have contributed to helping the business grow by creating a firm foundation through policies and training. The HR department has grown to include specialist roles in recruitment, compensation, benefits, and other areas. Your chief human resources officer (CHRO) has asked you to shift your focus to establishing a foundation for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to build upon. She commented that as the company has grown with the addition of new leaders, she feels the company needs to more adequately represent the communities served. She has noticed limited diversity being hired in leadership, with fewer female employees promoted than male employees. She has realized that DEI policies and practices must be understood at the leadership level for the company to have the best chance for sustainability and to create an environment where employees will grow and do their best.

The CHRO has asked you to write an email that will be shared with all leadership employees to initiate the conversation around DEI and its impact on business. The email should also focus on the importance of the company, reflecting the communities served while creating opportunities for all employees.

Directions

Prepare an email to send to leaders across the organization. In this email, you will explain why DEI is essential to the company ethically and legally and recommend ways leaders can ensure that DEI policies and practices are reflected in their teams and business practices.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Email Considerations: Prepare an email that includes an appropriate      subject line, recipients, date and time, and signature.
   1. It       is important to consider precisely what group the email will be sent to.       Will it be sent as a company communication in which employees can “reply       all” or as a “BCC” in which employees will not be able to respond? Why is       it important that this group receive this email?
2. Ethical Implications: Describe the ethical implications that should be      considered in the situation provided.
3. Legal Implications: Describe legal implications that should be      considered in the situation, including specific laws applicable.
