LCBB5004 Managing People

Module Learning Outcomes (from module syllabus)

Demonstrate a critical understanding of the business environment within which personnel professionals work and analyse how the management of resourcing an organisation is influenced by internal and external factors.

Task Description

Your Chief Executive has recently attended an online conference where the concept that engagement in the workplace can lead to improved performance and employee wellbeing was on the agenda. The company has not attempted to measure employee engagement in the past but, in the light of the current pandemic and the new ways of working that have been adopted in the organisation, she is concerned that a low level of employee engagement may impact on company viability.

Measures that the organisation have already taken are:

Working from home, flexible working time, job design/restructuring roles, and making the workplace “Covid-19 safe”

The Chief Executive has tasked you to write a report that addresses the following:

• Reviews the concept and drivers of employee engagement
• Evaluates diagnostic tools to measure engagement
• Constructs an employee value proposition from the ideas and analysis previously covered, including strategies to raise levels of engagement.
