CASE

*You are working individually due to COVID19, the wording team should be replaced with individual.

You are to assume the role of human resources manager at UNLIMITED, a large advertising firm. The president of the company (judge) has asked you to prepare a presentation for team managers that will address a unique staffing situation. UNLIMITED operates in one of the largest cities in the country and boasts close to 200 clients. The company has been in business since the 1920s and has a reputation of prestige and sophistication. UNLIMITED’S staff grows each year, with the current total reaching 500 employees. Staff at UNLIMITED work in teams, with a team manager directing work loads, administrative needs, managing each project and team member relationships. In the past, team managers have typically been senior members of the staff, older than the other members of the team. Times have now changed and team managers may be younger than other members of the team. Due to changes in the economy, many older people who were close to retirement or at retirement age have put off those plans and have chosen to stay in the workforce. This has led to a very unique work environment. Employees at UNLIMITED make up several generations; there are currently employees in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s.

Teams are commonly made up of multiple generations and UNLIMITED has team managers from all generations. Because of this unique work environment, the company president (judge) has asked you to put together a presentation for team managers. The presentation must detail the diverse work environment, how to recognize and reconcile differences, how to make the diversity more valuable to the team and how to prepare themselves and their team members. You will present the information for the presentation to the company president (judge) in a roleplay to take place in the president’s (judge’s) office. The president (judge) will begin the roleplay by welcoming you and asking to hear your ideas. After you have presented the information and have answered the president (judge’s) questions, the president (judge) will conclude the roleplay by thanking you for your work.
