Then evaluate your selected practice by addressing the following rubric criteria:

• General Factors: Describe general factors that may have contributed to an organization or business implementing this practice.
• Potential Negative Repercussions: Identify potential negative repercussions of the practice on employees, the local community, or the business or organization.
