Task: 

You are required to produce a report that critically evaluates an HRM priority area in your organisation,  particularly in light of recent changes to both the internal and external working environment. You should  select one of the following priority areas, ensuring your choice is well-justified in the context of your  organisation: 

• Strategic HRM (Lecture 2) 
• Organisational culture change and development (Lecture 2; Canvas Starter and Chapter 4) • Recruitment, selection and onboarding (Lecture 2; Canvas Chapter 6) 
• Performance management (Lecture 3; Canvas Chapter 5) 
• Employee engagement (Lecture 4; Canvas Chapter 7) 
• Organisational learning (Lecture 4; Canvas Chapter 8) 
• Managing equality and diversity (Lecture 5; Canvas Chapters 1, 2 and 3) 
• Emotional intelligence (Lecture 5; Canvas Chapter 9) 

You should critically analyse the chosen priority area in your organisation, identifying its weaknesses and  the impact this has had on the effectiveness of the HRM function. You should also consider the wider organisational impact of these shortcomings. You must use organisational examples to support your points.  

You should provide feasible recommendations as to how the chosen priority area could be improved in  your organisation, and these should be realistic within the specific context of your organisation. 🠶 Note: These recommendations will form the basis of Assignment 2. 

Ensure you develop a full business report, including a title page; executive summary; table of contents; lists  of tables/figures/appendices, if relevant; main body of writing; reference list; and, appendices. Your module
