I need help with completing an assignment with the problem that I have selected to solve within my organization. Low Morale.

Five Whys Root Cause Analysis:

Defined Problem: Morale is very low within the organization.

Why is morale so low at this specific base?

Members are emotionally exhausted.

Why is that?

Members feel that there is a negative work environment.

Why is that?

There is a lack of personal connection to the team or mission.

Why is that?

There is a lack of trust.

Why is that?

Members feel that there is workplace gossip and backbiting.

Why is that?

There is employee conflict and lack of all team member inclusion.

6. Validation of root cause: The root cause analysis uncovered that the main reason for low morale in this organization is that there is unresolved employee conflict and lack of all team member inclusion.

Data Collection

Conduct internal and external research to determine viable solutions that could be implemented to solve an identified problem.

create an Excel spreadsheet that summarizes the data collection you have completed. The spreadsheet should indicate the date on which particular data were collected, the source of the data collected, the type of data (qualitative or quantitative), and a one- or two-sentence summary of the data findings.

Part 1:

The first step in data collection is to conduct research. You are looking for specific, measurable data (statistics and numbers) related to how the problem is affecting the organization. This information should be recorded in the form of a chart or graph that presents the data so key decision makers can see the "cost" of failing to address the problem. Use the study materials for assistance with creating Excel graphs and charts that can be used to illustrate your findings.
