THE TASK
Write a report describing and analysing the HR practices and issues within a company of your choice (subject to approval by the seminar tutor).
You must identify two different HR topics within that company. The HR topics are to be chosen from the weekly session titles on this module, for example Performance Management, Culture, Equality and Diversity etc.
The company and topics must be approved by the seminar tutor, who has the final say over which companies to use. It may be possible to combine different aspects but check with your tutor. Tesco and John Lewis are barred as companies that you can choose.
For each topic you are expected to incorporate at least one appropriate theory/model or recognised practice. For example with Reward you could incorporate Total Reward; Culture you could include Schein or Deal and Kennedy; Performance Management you could include 360 degree feedback.
• A version of this will appear in the ‘overall comments’ section of your submitted work on Blackboard filled in by the marker.
• Comments here should be read in conjunction with any specific comments on specific sections made within your submitted work on Blackboard.
• The marking scheme which follows on the next page details what your work will be marked on within each category.
• These are the same criteria used to mark the summative version so please follow the advice given by your tutor.

Note: All of the criteria need to be addressed effectively. For the purposes of marking in the summative version we have allocated 20 marks for each one, but as in the real world you might fail the whole thing if, for example in terms of objectivity, you appear to be acting as an unquestioning, subjective fanatic for the company, rather than a neutral observer.
