First of all, , please remember to include your word count on the front page. Please also use single line spacing and not double. Thank you.

You have made a good start on this report, overall, with some useful and valid comments around ways in which HR supports organisational performance. However, the work is too brief at present (less than 1300 words of your own narrative, excluding the CPD comment), and there are elements that are missing.

You therefore need to do the following:

1. Q2, AC 2.1. You seem to have provided only one example of how HR can be positioned within an organisation, referring to ‘HR specialists’. However, even this is confusing, since you then say it is a networking approach. You need to clarify this, and then provide a second example.

2. Q3, AC3.1. You seem to have misunderstood what is required here. For instance, you say that ‘HR metrics include planning….development of talent….[and so on]. This is not correct – it is the data from the metrics that is used to make plans or develop talent. You need to discuss sources of data, such as absentee rates, retention, KPIs, the balance scorecard and so on, and say how useful they are to the organisation in providing relevant and useful information. Your section on survey methods has been accepted.

3. Q4, AC4.1 and 4.2. This is rather confusing – you seem to have chosen your own article to discuss? You cannot do this. You need to use the article that was discussed in class – the one about 3M, Infosys and Schlumberger. You also need to complete the last task in this section, with a short discussion about HPW and investment in people.

Well done, so far, , we look forward to receiving your revised work in due course.

Please ensure that when you resubmit your work that you clearly highlight your revisions to make it easier for the assessor to identify the changes.

You have referenced your sources within the narrative, but you should also provide a list at the end of the report; you have provided a comment as to how you will transfer your new learning back into your workplace.
