[SOLVED] MGT5063 People in Organisations 2024/2025 Processing

Assessment Brief 2024/2025

1. QUESTION/ DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY

This assignment makes up 40% of the overall mark for the course. It is a group assessment with individual contributions. The assessment should include an input from each group member.

Throughout the course of this module, you have learned about the different stakeholders impacted by organisations, and about the dynamics and concepts that shape the behaviour of individuals, groups and leaders within them. You have also learned about the Scottish Fair Work Framework, and this knowledge will inform. this assessment.

You have each been placed in teams. You are to select a real-life organisation based in the home country of one of your team members, and give a 15-20 minute presentation to the organisation to persuade the board of directors to implement the fair work framework for staff. The principles of this framework are effective voice, opportunity, security, fulfilment and respect. Your presentation should include:

●    A very brief overview of the organisation

●    Identification of the key stakeholders for the organisation (primary and secondary)

●    Clear, detailed and evidence-based arguments explaining how these principles will impact positively on core areas of HR, including at a minimum:

– Recruitment and selection

– Retention

– Skills and staff development

– Diversity and inclusion

– Individual performance

●    You should then build on these arguments to present a convincing case of how this can improve overall organisational performance to benefit all stakeholders

Please keep in mind that most board of directors are likely to be hesitant about aspects of the fair work framework, because of cost implications or autocratic management policies, however it is your job to persuade them with the strength of your arguments. Please also make sure you are drawing from strong academic sources and citing them properly using the Harvard system.

2. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR GROUP ASSIGNMENTS

You have been placed in your group at random and students are not allowed in any circumstances to choose your own teammates. You will know who you are working with by the second tutorial. You are expected to provide a groupwork contract agreed upon by all members of the team by a date provided to you by the course coordinator.

In addition to this, students will be expected to complete an evaluation of all group members’ participation (including their own) in this group assessment as follows:

●    A group task involves several distinct stages. In this self-assessment you are asked to consider the contributions made by each of the group, including yourself to these different stages. Members of your group may have contributed more to some areas  than others.
