COMMUNICATION
Design and deliver a 20-slide PowerPoint presentation that examines the components of the communication process model and summarizes how the model relates to diversity issues, conflict resolution, delegation, and coaching for effective employer/employee relationships. Include presenter notes within the slides; 3-4 paragraphs per slide to describe the content within the slide.APA conventions are to be followed, incorporating a minimum of five references and utilizing proper citations.
You may propose an alternative project of your own design that shows attainment of the corresponding course outcome. The mentor must approve the alternative project.
Outcome #5
The Power Point Presentations will need to be created by each student, there is not a template created for this outcome.
Notes:
Try to follow the 7×7 rule when creating PPTs. This rule says to not use more than 7 words across and 7 down per slide (this isn’t a requirement; however, it is a good rule of thumb to remember). Just keep in mind when creating a PPT you want to engage your audience.
Use a design for your PPT and only include 1 graphic (picture, graph, etc.) per slide. More than 1 graphic can be overwhelming to an audience. Additionally, the grader may take off points for using more than one.
Cite your source(s) at the bottom of each slide (author name, year) in addition to citing in the presenter notes.
This assignment requires 3-4 paragraphs of author’s notes per slide.

The characteristics of the employees determine message interpretation effectiveness and the quality of interpretation made. A diverse workforce has employees with different levels of skills. Assessment of the employee’s skills may not be accurate, and hence the channels chosen to pass the message may attract different understanding to certain persons.

Highly skilled employees may not take simple graphics seriously. Incorrect choice of the communication channels may hinder the effectiveness of decoding the message by the receiver. The environment within which the message is sent could determine employee’s interpretations. The preference for the environment that facilitates effective decoding is different for various employees. The employer has a responsibility to promote the employee to interpret the message right. Using simple words that accommodate all employees would enhance this approach.
Some employees are sensitive to message content and volume. Some may consider a message too detailed while others may find the message not detailed enough. For the latter decoding, a message is simple while the former may not perceive the intended message right. For some employees, there is a need to relate to the message discouraging heavily forwarded messages. Understanding this diversity is advantageous to the employer. When all the employees understand the message right, and in a standard way the employer can expect a converged response from all. The employer needs to understand the interests of the employees against its value to the organization…
