Plagarism at work? Is there such a thing?

Is there such a thing as plagarism at work(not copyright laws) when it comes to giving an internal presentation? The SAs at the BB I work at have to give a presentation on a topic in our department(we basically had free reign on the choice). Would it be okay if I just took a paper from a college or another company and basically paraphrased it, copied the diagrams into a presentation? It's not like I'm claiming that these are my ideas, my data, my formulas. Of course, I would reference the papers in the end of my presentation

Thanks guys

What you're describing is called a Paper Reading and Discussion session; we used to do quite a few of them in academia/research. As long as you reference everything properly, there's no problem. If you're basing your entire presentation on one or two papers, it's good to mention them directly in your title slide.

That said, confirm with the organizer first that the presentation needn't be original work (in which case, ofcourse, it's not alright).

How can you create a presentation without using sources? Don't you have to pull the info from somewhere?
