It operates in a number of industries, but most heavily in<br \/>\nbuilding technologies, information systems, and infrastructure<br \/>\ndevelopment. The company was founded in the early 20th century as a<br \/>\nmanufacturer of heavy equipment. Using mostly mergers and acquisitions,<br \/>\nit grew in size and complexity until it gained a spot on the DOW Jones<br \/>\nIndustrial Average in 1979. Dravities Industries remained on the DOW<br \/>\nJones until 2001, when company performance declined following a series<br \/>\nof poor investments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Dravities remains a global economic powerhouse but has a severely<br \/>\ndiminished capacity. Though it still draws hundreds of millions in<br \/>\nprofit every year, the company seems to lack a clear vision or the<br \/>\nability to make strategic moves in the evolving marketplace. The company<br \/>\n has gone through three CEOs in the last eight years. None of them have<br \/>\nbeen able to hit the three-year mark or affect any change in the<br \/>\ncompany\u2019s culture or performance. Productivity of work teams and<br \/>\nindividuals in the company appears stagnate and perhaps in decline. With<br \/>\n no notable innovations in the last ten years, the company appears to be<br \/>\n coasting on past successes. Overall, Dravities employs 87,000 workers<br \/>\nacross the globe with roughly a third of those being in the state of<br \/>\nVirginia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Your Role &amp;&nbsp; Organizational Issues:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Your are the VP &amp; Head of Compensation at Dravities Industries.&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn your role, you have access to sensitive information, that even your<br \/>\ndirect boss, the EVP of Human Resources, cannot access as in contains<br \/>\nsensitive, compensation-related information of her executive peers.&nbsp; You<br \/>\n also engage in periodic meetings with the CEO and a small subsection of<br \/>\n top Dravities executives, who comprise the company&#8217;s compensation<br \/>\ncommittee.&nbsp; Although it can be intimidating, engaging with this group of<br \/>\n executives tends to foster a sense of privilege and insider-ship with<br \/>\nthis influential group.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Recently you noticed data trends that are deeply concerning.&nbsp; Some summary headings of these trends are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">23% of the workforce are from non-white racial demographics, but<br \/>\nless than 2% of promotions in the last five years has gone to an<br \/>\nindividual in one of these groups.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">42% of the workforce was made up of women, but only 12% of middle<br \/>\nmanagement were women and there are no women in upper-level management.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">People from non-white racial demographics are paid $.89 on the $1.00<br \/>\n compared to white employees, in the case of women they are paid $.82 on<br \/>\n the $1.00 \u2013 these both hold true even in comparable positions in the<br \/>\norganization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Furthermore \u2015 before, during, and after some of your compensation<br \/>\ncommittee meetings, you&#8217;ve noticed or overheard executives using<br \/>\ndegrading and demeaning terminology to discuss employees from<br \/>\nunderrepresented groups. For example, they referred to one individual<br \/>\nfrom the accounting department as \u201cthe little colored girl\u201d and talking<br \/>\nabout another leader in the manufacturing division as seeming \u201cto be<br \/>\nlacking that Mexican work ethic\u201d \u2013 the employee referenced was of<br \/>\nCuban-American descent. When discussing a promotion for an employee from<br \/>\n their operations in Nigeria, one that would require relocating the<br \/>\nemployee to the headquarters in Virginia, one executive commented \u201cWe<br \/>\ndon\u2019t need to let any more of them into our country \u2013 let\u2019s find someone<br \/>\n else.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b>Considering the above situation and wearing the hat of the above describe role, <span style=\"font-size: 18pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">what would you do<\/span>?&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b>Please write a brief essay.&nbsp;<\/b> The five-paragraph format<br \/>\n is recommended and the following rubric will be applied:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Format &amp; Writing<\/strong>&#8211;&nbsp; Starts with an<br \/>\nintroduction that hooks your reader and introduces your themes.
