Instructions for Section 1: Each team
member will select one of the books listed (a student may choose a book title not on the
suggested list with the approval of the instructor). The student will write a brief (10-12 pages)
summary of their book. This book summary does not require outside references or additional
citations; rather, it is simply a synopsis of the major themes of the book. It does not require your
reaction to or interpretation of the content of the book; please, do not include your reaction,
interpretation, evaluation or opinion of the book. Simply relate, briefly and succinctly, what the
author is attempting to tell the reader.
You may organize the summary as you see fit. For example, your summary may reflect the
actual chapters of the book, or the summary may be organized by themes that emerge as you read
the text. If appropriate, you may reproduce figures or tables from the book and use them in
your summary. If necessary, you may also quote the author directly (citing page numbers from
the book). However, please limit your use of direct quotes… I want to read your own words.
The book summary
should be between 10 and 12 pages in length (excluding cover page); remember to number the
pages

Please make sure you answer all of the questions. Here is some information about me to help with the assignment below
As for my culture: I’m an African American woman. I’m a Christian woman. You can just go off of that. My influences are GOD and my parents because they are very much so invested in the church. We had to go to church 3 times a week (sometimes 4). We listened to gospel music growing up in my parents house but the older I got, I went my own way and started listening to R&B (Rhythm & Blues) music. We celebrate Juneteenth because it’s a holiday that celebrates African Americans being free.
Make sure all of these are answered. (You can use some of the answers I provided above about myself for this and you can improvise as well). You can find the definitions of ethnocentrism and cultural relativism in the text book (the link to the text book is included)

Overview
The Covid-19 pandemic put a spotlight on a problem that had already plagued organizations. A lack
of work-life balance, isolation, and increased workloads have led to record levels of employee
burnout. Companies without systems to support the well-being of their employees have higher turnover, lower productivity, and higher healthcare costs.” In this assignment, you’ll investigate the causes and effects of employee burnout and recommend strategies for preventing it.
Imagine that you are the director of HR for a company. Write a paper for leadership to explain the
cost of employee burnout and to recommend proactive steps to prevent it. Set your paper in an
the industry you are familiar with. Feel free to make up details as needed.
Complete all assigned readings for this module before you begin. Conduct additional research about the role that HR plays in reducing employee burnout as needed.
Write a paper to propose ways to prevent burnout. Include the following:
· Summarize the extent and nature of the problem clearly and specifically.
· Explain why it’s important for your organization to manage burnout, including the short-term
and long-term costs.
· Propose a strategy to proactively address the problem. Describe specific actions that you recommend. Make sure that they are a good fit for your company’s culture and business demands. Include how you plan to measure the level of burnout being experienced
by your employees before and after the implementation of the strategy.
Please include an introduction and conclusion

1. A Sample Segment of the
Training Program (35 Marks)
The part of the
presentation consists of a short component or sample from your proposed
training (SEE DOCUMENT ATTACHED). In this presentation, imagine that your instructor is part of the
managerial group in the organization and you’re trying to encourage managers to
send employees to attend. This is almost a “proof of concept” to support the
proposal you’ve identified in your pitch. It is meant to give an idea of what
your training will look like and demonstrate how you might teach a portion of
the content. Ideally it is an interactive component (even if you don’t have a
class in front of you) however you may choose to describe the segment if it’s
not possible to demonstrate it well over this platform. The interactive
component should demonstrate a sample of intended course content and
demonstrate how your course will engage an audience and result in either
knowledge or behavioural change. Remember to include an evaluative component to
demonstrate how or what participants have learned. As with Part A, your
group will need to consider options presentation formats outside of the usual
face-to-face formats such as narrated PowerPoint slides, URL of a video, etc.
or combinations of technology e.g. imbedded in a recorded webinar. The
sample segment should be engaging enough to make one feel the training will be
valuable and have a listener either want to attend the full training themselves
or send their staff.
Please submit your PPT
(including speakers notes) with your written portion.

Auditors have come into a department as part of a company-wide audit prior to issuing an audit opinion for the company’s financial reports.
