Human Resources Discussion
Topic: Employment Discrimination and SafetyIn this Discussion, you will apply three major employment-related laws.A major law in the United States (U.S.) related to providing equal employment opportunity is the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The act prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals because of their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Employers may not discriminate in any employment action, such as hiring, firing, or the terms of employment such as pay, working conditions, or privileges of employment.Protection from discrimination based on disability was not covered by the Civil Rights Act. Instead, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 protects workers and applicants with disabilities.The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) makes sure the workplace is safe for the public and employees. To help you with your Discussion responses, consult the OSHA Learning Activity.Two-thirds of accommodations for workers with disabilities cost employers less than $500.

BUS 322 Purdue University Global Diversity and Job Satisfaction Discussion
Topic: Diversity and Job Satisfaction Scenario (fictional): Silvan Container Works is a mid-sized organization that is also global. They sell most of their containers internationally although they are based in the U.S. The company’s containers are made with natural raw materials such as clay, stone, and natural woven fibers to create containers that are safe for a multitude of personal and industrial uses. They have a customer service department call center that is located in Germany where the customer service representatives (CSRs) are quadrilingual. The CSRs’ first language is German because management required they be native born German citizens with at least 15 years customer service experience when they were hired. The CSRs are a close knit group, and share stories with each other regarding their customers between their shifts and during their scheduled breaks in the employee break room. Their biggest complaint has been their lack of control over affecting results or problem resolution for their customers on the job. Lately there have been excessive complaints logged into the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System to which all the managers have access. There are customer complaints that the CSRs misunderstand the customer’s concerns and that they demonstrate a lack of empathy. Discuss the potential problems and opportunities based on the limited information in the scenario and based on your Chapter 2 Reading concerning diversity.200-300 words

TU Travis Kalanicks Leadership Style Research Paper
Travis Kalanick was the founding CEO of the ride-sharing giant Uber. Under his leadership, Uber has become a globally successful firm with a valuation of over $60 billion. Kalanick is in his early forties, but Uber is the third firm that he started. Earlier in his career, he founded the file-sharing company Scour which ended up going bankrupt due to lawsuits. He had more success with another file-sharing company called Red Swoosh, which he later sold for $19 million.
In spite of all of his accomplishments and success, he has always been a controversial CEO. Recently he was caught on video berating an Uber driver, a video that went viral. He has also faced allegations of fostering a toxic corporate culture. After facing a continuing wave of negative publicity, Kalanick had to step aside as CEO but remains as a powerful member of Uber’s Board of Directors. He is also still one of their major shareholders, so even though another CEO will be managing the day-to-day, affairs he is likely to remain as a major leader within Uber.
For this paper, you should first thoroughly review the background readings and make sure you are clear on the distinction between charismatic, transformational, and transactional leadership. Then do some research on Travis Kalanick’s leadership style. There is no shortage of articles about Travis Kalanick and Uber. But harder to find are articles on what kind of leader he is and how he leads his employees. Here are a few articles to get you started, but if you can find articles that are more recent or have more information about his leadership style, feel free to use them in your paper instead:
Chafkin, M. (2015). Travis Kalanick, the fall and spectacular rise of the man behind Uber. Retrieved from http://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/1860723/travis-kalanick-fall-and-spectacular-rise-man-behind-uber
