Purpose of the Assessment

To write a “Senior Management” Report discussing, exploring and evaluating

some of the key opportunities, challenges and issues inherent in implementing
an “employee-engagement” strategy across several different regions of the
world.

Assessment Task

Imagine that you are promoted to be the head of the HR Division of an

organisation with subsidiaries in China, India and Germany. You can relate
this to a previous employer if this “fits”?

You have been tasked with producing an internal report to the Senior
Management Team, in which they have asked that you to discuss an
“employee engagement” strategy.
The Management Team wants to make sure that teamwork, motivation,
engagement and work performance is effective and functioning to a high level
across all of these locations.

In your report you need to clearly identify the opportunities such a strategy
offers the company but (more importantly) you also need to identify and
evaluate the different issues, problems and challenges which you would
associate with implementing this type of working across these different
cultures and also within these different countries. Please provide related
context information as you see fit.

You should examine and address any relevant issues around leading and
managing people in these countries. If you can see clear preferences for
certain communication styles, are those associated with cultural patterns (of all
underlying cultures) and if so, do those advance or hinder the development of
good co-operation within these dispersed cross-cultural teams? How do you
envision communication taking place and what issues might you associate with
these communication processes?

In essence, “what would you summarise as the commonalities which can be

introduced right across these different cultures when developing and
implementing the “employee-engagement” strategy and what would need to
be tailored for any specific country?” (China, India or Germany)

You need to make practical, specific and relevant recommendations that you
consider would help future co-operation and employee-engagement.

You are required to critically evaluate and academically substantiate your

proposed considerations and recommendations.
