MBA401 People, Culture and Contemporary Leadership

Task:

There are two core components to this activity: to develop a draft report framework (plan) as a group inclass activity and then using that framework (plan) create an individual report based on the organisation’s/companies Human Resource practices, workforce performance, culture and employee engagement.

PART A. (Individual)

By looking at the organisation’s/company’s website and Annual Reports, you will be able to see whether it is possible to access enough information about its Human Resource (HR) practices to address the following:

1. How is your selected organisation/company trying to improve the performance of its workforce?

• Include at least one performance related initiative and one way in which its success could be measured

2. How is your selected organisation/company trying to improve its culture?

• Include at least one culture-based initiative and identify the type of culture prevalent within the organisation/company

3. How is your organisation trying to improve their rates of employee engagement?

• Include at least one employment-based initiative and the likelihood of success?

The group-work in-class component will provide you with an opportunity to assess your choice of organisation/company and its Human Resource practices. Students studying online will be provided with additional information.
