Project Examples
  • Guidelines for effective performance reviews: This could include ways to motivate good performance in your particular work context, why it's important to give accurate and helpful information during the review, how to communicate difficult information (e.g. not meeting performance standards), how to ensure employees take positive information away from the review, biases and discrimination that can creep into reviews.
  • Recruitment tools: : This could include developing job advertisements, outlining key information your organization should include in job ads to attract and recruit great workers, places to advertise the job, and so on.
  • Employee complaint procedure: Drafting a policy for employee or volunteer complaints (e.g. complaints about coworkers or a manger, etc) that promote fairness and good employee relations.
  • Developing best practice guidelines covering biases and blindspots in job interviews/performance reviews: e.g. how can managers make informed decisions based on actual data and overcome common pitfalls (e.g. giving someone a good rating because they are similar to the manager), biases, and discrimination.
  • Developing best practice guidelines for people working at home: Covering issues such as communication, teamwork, performance, work-life balance, etc.
  • Anything else that would fit within the class, meet the needs of your organization, and be a good experience for students.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Particularly at the start of the project, be available for quick e-mail/phone call to determine your needs. I am very happy to draft the project once I have a sense of what you're looking for!

If needed, provide a contact who can answer the odd e-mail to address unanticipated issues or students' questions.
