Students completing their CIPD 5HR03 assignment explore various human resource (HR) activities that directly impact performance management, workplace relations, and the ability to assist the organization in achieving business goals. Students will typically be asked to describe to the marker how the HR activity/activities that they have selected contribute to the organization’s overall performance, improved wellbeing of staff, and workplace development. Discussion topics within this thread include communication techniques, dealing with conflict, motivating staff, and ways of improving performance. An acceptable response to a student’s assignment will refer to the relevant HR theories used, present examples from the workplace, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis methods aligned with the requirements of the CIPD. The layout of the student’s work, academic referencing, and evaluations written in a clear manner will be critical to obtaining the maximum number of marks available in achieving a pass grade for any assignment.
