Employee Relations: Decision-Making Procedures
Assignment brief
You are required to submit a report based upon three of the five discussion activities that you will take part in throughout this module. This report should be an integrated piece of work which relates your discussion activities to an appropriate theoretical framework and in conclusion to current developments in labour relations. The entire portfolio should comprise approximately 3,000 words. This word count does not include appendices that may be used for illustrative or supporting material. However, appendices should be used with discretion, not as a convenient dump when over the word limit.
Assignments should be in report format (i.e. with contents page, sections and subsections, a clear introduction and conclusion, comprehensive referencing and bibliography). As this is an academic piece of work you must support your analysis, arguments and recommendations by using referencing to published material (this may be from journals, books or other media).
Introduction
In your introduction you should outline and evaluate relevant theories that relate to your chosen discussion topics. The purpose of this section is to locate your subsequent discussion in context and to demonstrate your understanding of how particular themes or concepts are related to broader theories of the employment relationship. In other words your chosen theory should act as a ‘conceptual wrapper’ that encompasses your portfolio. This section must provide evidence of appropriate reading and demonstrate an ability to evaluate and synthesise material to form coherent arguments and discussion.
Main body of the report
Here you should present your chosen 3 discussion topics. Taking each in turn you should highlight the significant points of your group discussions and evaluate their significance for labour relations practice and where appropriate for labour relations theory. It is important to note that this section is not simply about writing up your class discussions. Instead, analysis and evaluation of the discussion points must be privileged over their description. The purpose of this section is to emphasise the implications of your discussions and the connections with the theory that was discussed in the introduction.
Concluding sections
In the closing sections of your report you should draw connections between your preceding discussions and contemporary events in labour relations. The purpose of this section is for you to demonstrate that you have kept up to date with developments in labour relations throughout the module and are able to locate their occurrence and significance within appropriate theoretical frameworks that you have utilised within your portfolio.
