- Choose an SME or large-sized company with Employee Learning and Development (ELD) practices in evidence that you have access to. Conduct an analysis of this company’s ELD practices using a range of both secondary research techniques (studying company learning and development documents, staff handbooks, websites, media and academic sources) and also primary research tools (interviews with key personnel, managers, Human Resource administrators industry experts, conducting a staff survey etc.) Your written report should consist of the following:
- Permission from the Company Director or equivalent to access his/her staff
- Description of the company and aims of the assignment
- How the report has been informed by theories you have learned during the module.
- Description of the methods that you used
- The results of your analysis
- Discussion of how the organisation’s ELD practices align with its strategy documents
- Discuss which ELD practices have been most successful and where there are weaknesses that could be improved.
- Suggest policies and measures that the company could take to overcome these problems.
your report should be approx 3,500 words excluding references and appendices
Guidance on How to Write your Report:
Your report need to address the task in an appropriate academic fashion, i.e. your arguments need to be based on theoretical and empirical evidence and actually answer the question –this is crucial! If you fail to answer the question in your report you will fail the entire report even though your report might have touched upon the subject. It is very important that you cite your references correctly in your report and also include a bibliography. Failure to do this may leave you open to allegations of plagiarism and you may score zero for your assignment or face disciplinary proceedings.
