Assessment Description PART A (In-Class Draft Report Framework) In Week 3/4 you will need to select an Australian organisation/company of your choice from the Australia’s top 200 listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). You can find the list of companies at https://www.asx200list.com/ However, you CANNOT select organisation/company from the Banking, Airline, Supermarkets or the Telecommunication Sectors. You should not be choosing a Franchise Company. You should discuss your ideas with your Facilitator before commencing As part of the in-class activities, you will develop a draft report framework (that must be signed off by your Facilitator) to assist you in preparing your individual report. Attendance is compulsory for this in-class part of the assessment. Each student will individually submit a copy of their framework via Moodle and their report via Turnitin. PART B. (Individual Report) By looking at the organisation’s/company’s website, business articles and Annual Reports, you will be able to see whether it is possible to access enough information about its organisational 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? https://www.asx200list.com/ Page 2 Kaplan Business School Assessment Outline The in-class component will provide you with an opportunity to assess your choice of organisation/company and its Human Resource practices.

No sign off on the choice of organisation/company Minimal contribution to in-class activities and development of the draft framework. Sign off on the choice of organisation/company Very good contribution to in-class activities and development of the draft framework. Sign off on the choice of organisation/company Consistently high levels of contribution to in-class activities and development of the draft framework. Sign off on the choice of organisation/company Exceptionally high levels of contribution to in-class activities and development of the draft framework. Sign off on the choice of organisation/company Performance- related initiatives (5 marks) The initiatives and measures are either not present or not related to staff performance. Initiatives and measures are present but are neither clearly linked nor worded articulately. Linkages between the initiatives and measures are obvious but could be better explicated. The initiatives and measures are explicitly connected and are worded in a clear and professional manner. The initiatives and measures are very strongly connected and well worded but also supported by research. Culture- related initiatives (5 marks) The initiatives and type of culture are either not present or inaccurate. The effort is below that of a postgrad standard. Only limited details are provided on the type of culture and initiatives, and improvements to wording are needed. The initiatives and type of culture are solid but could be communicated in a more articulate and succinct manner. The initiatives and type of culture are excellent, connected and worded well. Only minor improvements needed. The initiatives and type of culture are not only accurate and expertly worded but also supported by research. Engagement- related initiatives (5 marks) The initiatives are either missing or not related to engagement, neither are they supported by research. The initiatives and supporting research are presented, but they are not convincing or well connected. Whilst improvement is needed, there is a solid attempt at linking the initiatives with the relevant theories. The initiatives and evidence are of a high standard but would be more convincing if worded more clearly. There is no doubt, by the way the initiatives and evidence are presented, that these would be a success. Overall structure (5 marks) The intro, conclusion and/or referencing are either missing or have failed to meet the minimum standards of postgraduate study. Intro and conclusion are minimal but sufficient, and referencing is present but limited. Major improvements needed. Intro and conclusion are very good but could be more comprehensive. Referencing is fine but inconsistencies exist. Impressive attempts are obvious in terms of the intro, conclusion and referencing, but there is scope for some improvement. The intro clearly states the aims and structure; the conclusion is a solid summary; and Harvard referencing is used correctly.
