Overview In Part 2 of the TM Modernization Project, you will create a presentation using PowerPoint for an internal HR group addressing the Hiring Maturity Curve, recognizing employee value, and the importance of employee motivation, engagement, and culture. Instructions Use your insight from an expanding organization you are familiar with or wish to learn more about, as your basis for evaluation. Consider this a major presentation that will call upon HR professionals to make practical and procedural changes. Your goal is to change the recruiting and hiring culture for lasting organizational impact. Evaluate the following and include your findings in a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation. Discuss where the organization is currently regarding the Hiring Maturity Curve. List several indicators leading you to this conclusion. Describe how the organization might improve their hiring processes to advance within the Higher Maturity Curve. Recommend a minimum of four reasonable and logical actions. Explain why innovative changes to the current Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and Employee Lifetime Value approaches may lead to higher employee loyalty. Include insight into what positive and negative trends should TM and organizational management look for, over time, as employees move up within the organization. Recommend at least five radical (drastic) or incremental (process-driven) changes to current onboarding procedures that you believe will lead to lower initial turnover, higher employee engagement, and lasting organizational impact. Prescribe at least four real-life examples of what contemporary employee engagement opportunities might look like for both new employees and existing employees. Suggest programs to improve overall employee engagement across all employees (for example, [mentorship] might assigning an experienced employee to become a mentor to a new employee offer engagement opportunity for both employees?). Recommend five points of emphasis an internal group of HR professionals could implement that would effectively encourage better hiring practices, instill a better sense of employee value, and improve overall employee onboarding experience and engagement. The five points of emphasis can reiterate points you have made previously in the presentation and/or can be philosophical in nature. Present five points you would like your presentation audience to implement for overall recruiting and hiring that will cause a positive lasting organizational impact. Develop the PowerPoint presentation with a minimum of 10 slides. Include the speaker’s notes for each slide. Speaker’s notes should adequately explain, expand, and express your main points for each slide. Include correct in-text citations and any other supporting or SWS formatting protocols. Include a cover page slide and a source page slide, they will not count toward the minimum 10 slides of content. Provide a minimum of 3 quality academic resources.
Identify a change that you implemented or was implemented at an organization with which you are familiar. Based on the article you read in the discussion preparation, discuss if the organization survived or thrived during the change and what impact it had on the organization's corporate culture. If the organization is surviving, what course of action would you implement to revitalize the organization to ensure a thriving change in culture? Prepare Read the article, Is Your Organization Surviving Change - or Thriving in It?

How are women stigmatized if they can’t or choose not to have children? How do gender roles and norms contribute to this stigmatization? How can society better support these women?
Q2 (40 pts): Consider the water distribution network shown in the figure below and the different water demands assigned to each node given in the accompanying table. Assume all nodes have the same elevation. Part A: Use the Darcy-Weisbach method to determine the discharge in each PVC ("smooth") pipe and the pressure head at each node. An example calculation for each step is required, but you can show the convergence of your solutions by presenting only the tables (from Excel) for each iteration. Please ensure your tables are legible, easy to follow, and organized. Submit the Excel file as part of your .zip folder. Part B: Solve the problem using EPANET. How do the results compare to your hand calculations? Please include a screenshot of your final results in the EPANET (i.e., showing flows and pressures) model to accompany your discussion. Submit the EPANET model as part of your .zip folder. Part C: Assume the total demand at node E is now 0.6 cfs and that the required minimum nodal pressure is 75 psi. Use EPANET to redesign the system by changing the diameter of one pipe and provide a brief justification for your choice. Note: only replace one pipe at a time. Do not replace multiple segments. Please include a screenshot of your final results in the EPANET (i.e., showing flows and pressures) model to accompany your discussion. Submit the EPANET model as part of your .zip folder. 1000 ft 12 in Water Users C Industrial Commercial Commercial Residential Residential Residential Commercial Fire flow demand 1250 ft 12 in. 1000 ft 8 in 1050 ft 8 in. 1100 ft 8 in.
