Please write a Management Report considering your own organisation or department. Critically evaluate the ‘best practice' strategic Human Resource Management and Development processes you think should be adopted and compare these with actual practice showing what gaps or changes you think need to be addressed.

Critically evaluate, in detail, the actions you would recommend to the organisation to take to address the gaps or changes you have identified. Please consider the costs, benefits, timescales and plan of action in your analysis and identify the two or three most important recommendations you think should be implemented in the next three to six months.
