	HRMT20024 Term 3 2017 - Assessment 3 Guidelines
	Report on Managing and retaining staff
Assessment Task	Throughout the term, we have discussed news stories and the HR implications arising from these
	stories.
	For assessment 3, you will write a report as if you were a consultant to an organisation. You will
	write about one of the three news stories on Moodle (i.e. one on penalty rates, one on gender
	equality, and one on performance and rewards), identifying the problem, analyzing it in terms of the
	relevant theory and literature, and provide practical solutions.
	You must draw on the material relating to Strategic HRM (Week 1) as well as material from 2-3
	themes from Weeks 6 to Week 11 (i.e. employee relations challenges, managing diversity,
	performance management, learning and development, motivation and rewards, and employee
	turnover and retention).
	You should engage in extensive research within the academic literature to develop an argument
	with appropriate theoretical discussion and references. You must cite at least ten
	(10) relevant peer reviewed journal articles. You can cite other academic references such as
	books, conference papers, and book chapters but these will NOT be counted as part of the 10
	journal articles.

Suggested Report		Title page: It contains the name of the report, who prepared the report, for whom the report
format		was prepared, the nature of the report, the date the report was prepared.
		Executive summary (ideally be approx. 50-100 words): The executive summary is a one
		page (or less) statement of a report’s purpose, findings and recommendations, enabling the
		reader to see the "big picture" without getting absorbed in technicalities.
		Table of contents: List the page numbers for headings and sub headings of the report.
		Introduction (approx. 200 words): The introduction consists of two or three paragraphs in
		which the aims, structure and methodology of the report are outlined. It states clearly the
		purpose or main task of the report and what the reader can expect. Please include a thesis
		statement that clearly mentions the main purpose of the report and your argument.
		Body of report with Headings and Subheadings (approx. 1500 words): The main body of the
		report should be structured into logical sections by topic, using headings to organise arguments
		and evidence.
		Conclusion (approx. 250 words): The conclusion is a brief section in which the writer analyses
		the significance of the report's findings and reiterates the main points of the report. These
		findings must derive logically from material presented in the report. A generalisation is then
		drawn from the specific findings of the research. New information is not included in the
		conclusion.
		References: A Reference List is a listing of all external resources that were consulted and
		mentioned during research for the report, and information from which is directly referred to in the
		text of the report. It is strongly recommended to avoid secondary referencing in assessments.
		Read the references before mentioning in reference list.
		APA referencing.  For more information, see : https://www.cqu.edu.au/?a=14033
		Creating a consistent and professional looking document is important and demonstrates that you
		have taken care with the work. Ideally, use a simple font such as Times New Roman 12 for the
		body of the paper, 1.5 spacing, and bold 14 point for major headings and bold 12 point for minor
		headings.
		All assessments must be submitted through the Moodle site. No email submissions will be
		accepted. All assessments submitted electronically through Moodle must be through the Student
		Portal http://my.cqu.edu.au • Failure to submit electronically will be taken as a failure to submit
		and therefore a zero (0) score will apply to the specific assessment.
Plagiarism		Copy detection software (TurnitIn) is used in this course and work found in contravention of the
		copying and plagiarism rules will be investigated. Penalties apply in the case of proven
		instances of copying, plagiarism and academic dishonesty.
		Please check the following links to know more about TurnitIn:
		http://turnitin.com/en_us/training/student-training/viewing-originality-reports
		http://turnitin.com/en_us/training/student-training/about-originalitycheck
		TurnitIn is only a tool and judgement needs to be used when you view your Originality Report.
		TurnitIn does not make a judgement as to what is referenced properly, it highlights the non-
		original material in a piece of work. You should use the similarity score as a guide only and must
		then check the originality report to determine whether or not changes need to be made to the
		assessment.
Required		Students must familiarise themselves with the following policies and procedures at
		http://policy.cqu.edu.au: Assessment of Coursework Policy; Assessment of Coursework
		Principles; Assessment of Coursework Procedures
