Page 2 of 7 Students will be provided with a workplace scenario in week 4 of the trimester. Using this scenario, students will work as a group to collect and analysis information, and then write an individual report detailing the problems evident in the case and propose recommendations to overcome the problems. There are three parts to this assessment ‐ both group and individual based. These will be due periodically throughout the trimester. Much of the discussion and development for this assessment (all parts) will occur in the seminars. Setting the scene: HR managers, like most managers have full and busy working lives! As a HR manager, you have been presented with a scenario, and associated issues, that need to be addressed. Due to the diversity of your role as a HR manager and being extremely time poor, you need to call on your team to bring together the information relevant to the issues and suggest potential recommendations (Formative and Part A). With the information in hand, you, as the HR manager need to write an individual report (Part B) to present to the CEO of the company to sell the proposed recommendations and solutions. Formative Assessment: Project Plan (group assignment) Formative Assessment – Due 14 August 2020 end of Week 5. This is an unmarked assessment but a critical dimension to ensure that the team is working effectively towards the required outcomes. Much of the information for this assessment will be developed in the seminars. The Formative Assessment will include: Structured outline of proposed plan for the team to approach the scenario and associated issues Outline of any brainstorming related to the issues and potential solutions Identification of relevant and appropriate data sources **Failure to submit the formative part of the assessment will result in a failure of the assignment, the formative assessment will provide the team with detailed feedback to inform their Part A and Part B. Part A: The Team Information Collection Report (group assignment) Summative Assessment (20%) – Due Friday 11 September 2020 the end of Week 8. Word Count: 4000 words. The team will need to work together to examine the issues and detail the HR theoretical underpinnings as related to the issues and start to explore a variety of options to overcome the issues. The final submission will be a report that summarises the following: What are the core issues in the case? Provide an analysis of the issues themselves using the case to illustrate. Page 3 of 7 Theories ‘potentially’ relevant to the issues; a short explanation of the theory/theories and why they could be relevant. Data Sources – what data is needed? Why? In an ideal situation what data needs to be collected to better understand the situation and/or inform recommendations? Potential recommended solutions and practices based in your theoretical understanding of HRM Note: At least a minimum of 10 academic sources are required for Part A, and it must be written in report format. Part B: Business Plan/Report (individual assignment) Summative Assessment (40%) – Due Wednesday 7 October 2020 in Study Week. Word Count: 2000. As the HR manager, with the information obtained from Part A, you will need to develop a comprehensive business plan to pitch your selected recommendations to the CEO of the company. The business plan needs to include: Overview of the issues, and the identification of the key causes of the issues (illustration from case), written for a business audience. Recommendations for solutions to the issues. The recommendations need to encapsulate the relevance for practice and also identify how the recommendations will overcome the causes. The recommendations need to be ‘doable’ and ‘cost effective’, therefore, an outline of why this is the best solution in comparison to others is required. This requires you to evaluate the worth of each proposal arguing why some possible suggestions are achievable and/or cost effective and others are not. The detailed plan to tackle the scenario and its associated issues and causes; the plan needs to be underpinned by theory. Note: Part B is individual and although the group worked together in Part A, this is the opportunity to do what you, as the HR manager, thinks is necessary and relevant.
