My task is to write a report about a major human resource management (HRM) issue affecting my organisation or an organisation I know well.

The HRM issue I choose to write about should be one of the main issues discussed in the subject. Hence, choose from the following: job analysis and design, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, pay structure and benefits.

Write a report and make sure to include:

A brief description of the organisation and the HRM issue.

An analysis of the HRM issue. Describe the issue in detail. Explain why the issue needs improving in the organisation; make a case for change. You could include in your analysis a comparison of practice in your own organisation with industry best practice or with practice in another organisation.

A set of recommendations to enable improvement or change. Explain what could be done to bring about improvement. These recommendations should follow logically from the analysis above; they should not be an unconnected after-thought.

It is important to demonstrate your knowledge about the HRM issue and to clearly reference your sources. Read about your issue in journal articles, books (including the textbook (NOE 9th ed), industry reports, business literature, etc. Remember to note down sources and reference your sources in the report.

In order to do well I need to structure my discussion appropriately, use good references, and clearly link recommendations to the description and analysis presented earlier in the report.

This assessment is an individual assessment (ie this is not a group assessment). Please ensure I avoid collusion and other practices which compromise individual assessment work. (Refer to the Academic Integrity Policy available on institute website).
