Projects examples may include but are not limited to:

• Developing best practice 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.
• 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.
• Drafting best practice guidelines for creating a more inclusive workplace: Looking at examples subtle forms of bias under-represented groups may experience (e.g. at meetings, performance reviews, when making decisions) and how to navigate around them.
• Drafting an employee complaint procedure: Drafting a policy for employee or volunteer complaints (e.g. complaints about coworkers or a manger, discrimination they may be facing, etc).
• Anything else that would fit within the class, meet the needs of your organization, and be a good experience for students.
