We can do this…

What does experience tell us. Who is doing what? What is the research telling us?

What to do if someone is not meeting performance. Costing of training cost of re-hiring.

 Managing poor-performing individuals: Issues and strategies for best
practice

Coaching for development

Introduction (10%)
The introduction should introduce the topic, explain why it is of critical importance in
performance management, and provide an overview of the report (major arguments/ directions).
Use ‘Introduction’ as a subheading.

Critical Analysis (60%)

The analysis is more than just a summary of the literature. You need to conduct an in-depth
analysis of a focused topic that:
o Highlights similarities and differences within the literature;
o Strengths and weaknesses of the PM policies, strategies, and practices reviewed.
Include your own sub headings which relate to the themes being discussed within this section.
The subheading should not be Critical Analysis.

Recommendations (20%)
Make recommendations, based on the arguments presented in the body of the assignment, for
policies and practices which should be developed and/or implemented by organisations to
respond to issues identified as being of critical importance in performance management.
You must reference relevant literature to support the recommendations.
Use ‘Recommendations’ as a subheading.

Conclusion (10%)
The conclusion should clearly summarise the key issues discussed in the literature review.
Use ‘Conclusion’ as a subheading.

Word Count (N/A)

Provide the assignment word count just below the Conclusions section.

References (The reference list is not included in the word count)

Provide a reference list consistent with APA 6th edition (preferred) or Harvard style.
This is NOT a bibliography. Do not cite material that you have read, but have not referred to in
the body of the report.
Ensure sources are cited in-text and in the reference list. Failure to do so can constitute
plagiarism.
Use ‘References’ as a subheading.
You have 2000 words (+/- 10%). Your introduction and conclusion should each be around 10% of
this (i.e. 200 words each). This means that you have 1200 words to construct your arguments
(60%) and 400 words for your meaningful and well-researched recommendations (20%). A well-
written report will be clearly structured and integrate information from multiple sources to
develop your points.
