Scenario

You have been recently promoted as junior vice president of human resources at your organization. You need to prepare your first presentation on appropriate communication to a group of twenty newly-hired employees for their orientation. The profile of the group is as follows:

There are fifteen entry-level hires with no corporate experience, of which five have no job experience whatsoever.

There are five upper-level hires, of whom three hold higher designations than yours and whose ages range between seventeen to fifty-five years.

Of these twenty, six are Hispanic, two are Asian, two are African-American, and ten are Caucasian.

Sixty percent of the group is women.

There are two disabled employees, one of whom has a hearing disability while the other uses a wheelchair.

Task
