Theresa and Mike fully support creating a code of conduct for the merged organization. They have asked you to recommend how they should approach the development of the code of conduct, especially given the need to merge the companies into one team with a shared mission, vision, and values. They are interested in knowing how the code of conduct will help establish the new organizational culture.

• What set of steps should be used to create the code of conduct?
• What should be included in the code of conduct?
• What impact does a code of conduct have on an organization’s culture?

Put yourself in the position of an HR manager of a large research and development facility. The CEO is concerned about rising labor costs. The most recent employee opinion survey showed employee satisfaction with their compensation as low.

What are the pros and cons of each of these incentive play plans?

Which program would you recommend to your CEO that would best meet his goals?
