Report Task Guidance
Task One - Identifying Issues
"Identify the issues that the company are experiencing with their productivity in relation to the recruitment, selection and on-boarding procedures."
a) Ensure that this section of the report only focuses on what you know from the business case study - do no try to ‘imagine' other issues the company may be experiencing.
b) Quote from the case study and name the type of HRM issue that you believe it is from your studies in class and in your individual research, for example is a recruitment issue, a selection issue, or an induction issue.
c) The only requirement of this section is to inform the reader of the purpose of the report and what issues the company are experiencing - therefore it should be completed as the introduction to your report.
d) Approximate Word Count: 300
Task Two - Defining HRM recruitment and selection models and theories.
"Define HRM recruitment and selection models, theories and concepts that Farmbox currently have in place and explain how these can affect the behaviour of the staff within the workplace, that may also affect productivity."
a) PLAN - before typing this section use the information from lectures and the research you have carried out, work out which recruitment, selection and induction/on- boarding strategies or theories that Farmbox have implemented.
b) Explain in your writing by using theory to support your claim, how the theories and strategies that Farmbox have put in place are affecting their staff behaviour both positively and negatively, you should also quote from the business case study in the brief to support your claims of how the staff are behaving.
c) IMPORTANT: DO NOT COMMENT ON THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THE THEORIES AND STRATEGIES IN THIS SECTION - JUST STAFF BEHAVIOUR.
The report then needs to then move onto explaining how the staff behaviour is affecting the productivity of Farmbox again only using research to support your claims.
Task Three - Assessing the Appropriateness of Models.
"Assess the appropriateness of the models, theories and concepts that have been deployed by Farmbox and identify the positive elements and any area of the procedure that may need to improve."
a) For each of the models, theories and concepts that you have stated, within your report, that Farmbox have deployed you must now discuss the positive and negative aspects of them - it is important to make this clear so that you can easily identify the areas that Farmbox are doing well and no change is needed, but more importantly you need to be able to demonstrate that you can assess a company and know when improvements are needed.
b) When commenting on the positive and negative elements - use research to prove in your writing why. It is not enough to simply state that a certain model or theory is ineffective you need to prove that it is by giving specific examples from your research - not just the Farmbox case.
c) You can create as many paragraphs within this section as you feel is necessary for your report.
d) Word Count approximately 800 words.
Task Four - Identifying and recommending models
"Identify and recommend models, theories and concepts, policies and procedures for Farmbox to adopt to improve their operational productivity though more effective HRM talent management."
a) This section is the conclusion of your report and needs to focus on the new and improved strategies, theories, and concepts that you want Farmbox to take on.
b) There must be a mixture of improved implementation of at least one theory or strategy and recommendations of new theories and strategies that will improve productivity and staff behaviour at Farmbox.
c) Your work needs to be based on research and provide evidence of why the improvement you have suggested will work for the company.
d) Word Count approximately 600 words.
