Assume the role of an HR manager whose company has just been targeted for a unio

Assume the role of an HR manager whose company has just been targeted for a union organizing campaign. Union representatives have contacted employees, presented their message about the union, and have invited the employees to sign an authorization card.
Because this is the company’s first experience with a labor union organizing campaign, senior management has asked you to prepare a PowerPoint presentation outlining the following:
What steps will the union organizers have to take in order to advance the process to an election?
What role will the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) play in the election process?
During the organizing campaign, what specific things are the employer prohibited from doing?
During the organizing campaign, what methods can the employer use to persuade employees not to vote in favor of the union?
Although you are unlikely to find agreement among the “PowerPoint pundits” who have posted tips and tricks on the Internet, there are a few basic concepts you may want to keep in mind as you design your slides:
The 6 by 6 Rule – The basics of this “rule of thumb” is that each PowerPoint slide should have:
1 major idea
A maximum of 6 bullet points
A maximum of 6 words per bullet point.
The 10/20/30 Rule – This rule was developed by venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki, who listened to countless presentations by those seeking venture capital. He suggests that PowerPoint presentations should:
Have no more than approximately 10 slides, because it’s challenging to comprehend more than 10 concepts in a meeting.
Last no longer than 20 minutes, because it’s difficult for people to listen to an hour-long presentation without letting their minds wander somewhere else.
Use a 30-point font so that your audience doesn’t have to squint to read the slides. If you can’t fit the information on the slide using a 30-point font, you’re using too many words.
Keep in mind that the rules listed above are simply “rules of thumb” and not strict guidelines for your PowerPoint presentation.
Also keep in mind that, in addition to addressing the information requirements of your topic, your slides should display elements of effective design in terms of fonts, colors, background, etc. The layout of your slides should be effective in terms of appropriate images, and text on slides should be clear and easy for audiences to read. Transitions between slides should be smooth and enhance your presentation, and you should use other design elements such as animations or sounds to emphasize key points without distracting the audience.
