Essential requirements

This unit is best delivered as a stand-alone unit, as much of the information needed is specific and technical, although learners must be encouraged to bring their own experiences of employment into the classroom. A practical approach must be adopted, where learners are encouraged to seek their own evidence from businesses with which they are in contact. Note that an independent approach is vital for learners to achieve the higher grade. Where examples are given from the business, learners must be coached to identify both practical issues, eg levels of staff sickness and theoretical issues such as models for motivating staff. Many large businesses are able to provide case studies that include organisational structures and many of these can be downloaded from the internet.

Employer engagement and vocational contexts

Given that learners need to gather information that may be sensitive for many businesses, tutors must ensure that contacts are made well in advance with businesses that are prepared to cooperate, to give learners the best opportunity to carry out their research. The centre’s own personnel manager (or equivalent) or a representative from the local authority would be a good guest speaker to give learners a background in human resource management practices.
