Portfolio Task #$3$: Integrating Quotations $(5\%)$

Your Task: Demonstrate your ability to quote relevant passages of text, to integrate those text references in your own sentence, and to correctly cite and document those text references.

For this assignment, we are asking you to quote passages from $"$In the Midst of the Pandemic, the Workplace Revolution is Here," by Darryl Wright.

The questions in this task get progressively more challenging. The first question provides supporting information that you can use in your answer, and the following questions gradually remove this supporting information.

Instructions: Write your responses in the text boxes provided. The boxes will expand if you want to write more than the space provided. Use "Save As$"$ to give the file a new name after you begin to ensure that you do not accidentally submit the blank template for grading.

Carefully read the assignment instructions in the eConestoga Evaluations module and refer to the grading rubric to make sure that you have completed all aspects of the assignment correctly.

If you have any difficulties using this template, please contact your professor immediately and they will assist you.

The pandemic has meant more people working from home. However, many business organizations are convinced employees who work remotely are less productive. What should business organizations take into consideration regarding work from home models? To answer this question, quote the highlighted passage from paragraph $2.$

Leaders should assign clearly defined tasks or projects and communicate regularly with employees to see if they're struggling.

Write your answer in the empty box below, using the "standard citation" style. Use the following template as a guide:

$2.$ What steps does Wright argue employers must take? To answer this question, quote and cite a select portion of this highlighted passage from paragraph $4.$

Businesses must also listen to their staff about where they feel most productive and take steps to accommodate them. Each worker is different, and some employees may long to return to the office. If so$,$ organizations can consider hot desking $-$ multiple workers using a single physical workstation during different time periods $-$ while ensuring sanitation and safety protocols are strictly followed. Otherwise, they'll need to increase office space to allow for physical distancing and to ensure employees' health and safety.
