5HR02 Talent Management and Workforce Planning

This unit assessment focuses on the impact of effective workforce planning in considering the development of diverse talent pools and how to contract and onboard the workforce. It also includes analysis of the potential costs to the organisation if this is poorly managed, and the tools and interventions required to mitigate this risk.

Case study

You are a senior people practice manager BMG Engineering Ltd based in the GCC (you decide the exact location). BMG provides machinery and components in support of the dairy industry. The company has experienced turbulent change over the last 10 years, largely due to changing technology, which has required frequent changes to production methods and processes, with the inevitable effect on the bottom line. The company was struggling economically before the Pandemic – but COVID has had an even more significant effect than technological change. To survive, the organisation must undergo a significant restructuring and organisational design change. The change will inevitably involve downsizing the overall operation, including the shedding of some employees whose roles are no longer required. As well as losing some employees, the business will need to attract and recruit some new talent, capable of coping with the new technological requirements of the manufacturing processes, but also willing to adopt new approaches to work based on less rigid work practices and more focus on agility and flexibility.

The CEO has asked you, as an expert in talent management and workforce planning, to adopt the role of internal consultant, to guide the organisation through the next phase in BMG’s development.

Preparation for the Tasks:

  • At the start of your assignment, you are encouraged to plan your assessment work with your Assessor and where appropriate agree milestones so that they can help you monitor your progress.
  • Refer to the indicative content in the unit to guide and support your evidence.
  • Pay attention to how your evidence is presented, remember you are working in the People Practice Team for this task.
  • Ensure that the evidence generated for this assessment remains your own work.

You will also benefit from:

  • Acting on formative feedback from your Assessor.
  • Reflecting on your own experiences of learning opportunities and training and continuing professional development.
  • Reading the CIPD Insight, Fact Sheets and related online material on these topic

Task One – Presentation Pack

The CEO has asked you to prepare a presentation, which he will deliver to the senior management team. The theme of the presentation is ‘Key contemporary labour market trends and their significance for workforce planning.’ He has asked that the presentation includes a focus on turnover and retention trends and the factors that influence why people choose to leave or remain. The presentation pack needs to include slides and speaker notes. The CEO has emphasised he wants to see evidence of research and wide reading in the speaker notes, which he needs to guide his thinking and his own research into the themes identifies in the presentation.

The presentation must include:

  • An explanation on how organisations strategically position themselves in competitive labour markets. (AC 1.1)
  • An explanation of the impact of changing labour market conditions on resourcing decisions. (AC 1.2)
  • A discussion on the role of government, employers and trade unions in ensuring future skills are met. (1.3)
  • An examination of turnover and retention trends and the factors that influence why people choose to leave or remain. (AC 3.1)

Task Two – Management Briefing Guide 5HR02 Talent Management and Workforce Planning

The CEO had advised you he wants to see all levels of management involved in the planning and execution of BMG’s next phase of development, which will lead to an agile, adaptive organisation ready to take on planned and unexpected challenges in a VUCA world. To inform and educate managers, the CEO has asked you to produce a management briefing guide focusing on ‘Talent Management and Workforce Planning.’ Explain how organisations strategically position themselves in competitive labour markets.

He has asked for a professionally completed draft – the document, once approved, will be produced in a brochure format. He is looking for a complete draft that can be sent to the printers for immediate production. He as asked also that you draw from secondary sources to support the academic content of your draft, including Harvard Referencing.

The Management Briefing Guide is to be structured in two sections as follows:

Section 1 – Workforce Planning

  • An analysis of the impact of effective workforce planning. (AC 2.1)
  • An evaluation of the techniques used to support the process of workforce planning. (AC 2.2)
  • An explanation of the approaches to succession planning and contingency planning aimed at mitigating workforce risks. (2.3)
  • An assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of different methods of recruitment and selection to build effective workforces (AC 2.4)

Section 2 – Talent Management

  • A comparison of different approaches to developing and retaining talent on an individual and group level. (AC 3.2)
  • An evaluation of approaches that an organisation can take to build and support different talent pools. (AC 3.3)
  • An evaluation of the benefits of diversity in building and supporting talent pools. (AC 3.4)
  • An explanation of the impact associated with dysfunctional employee turnover. (AC 3.5)

Section 3 – Contractual Arrangements and Onboarding

  • An assessment of suitable types of contractual arrangements dependent on specific workforce needs. (AC 4.1)
  • Differentiation between the main types of contractual terms in contracts (AC 4.2)
  • Explanation of the components and benefits of effective onboarding. (AC 4.3)

Assessment Criteria marking descriptors.

Assessors will mark in line with the following assessment criteria (AC) marking descriptors, and will indicate where the learner sits within the marking band range for each AC.

Assessors must provide a mark from 1 to 4 for each assessment criteria within the unit. Assessors should use the mark descriptor grid as guidance so they can provide comprehensive feedback that is developmental for learners. Please be aware that not all the mark descriptors will be present in every assessment criterion, so assessors must use their discretion in making grading decisions.

The grid below shows the range for each unit assessment result based on total number of marks awarded across all assessment criteria. Explain how organisations strategically position themselves in competitive labour markets.

To pass the unit assessment learners must achieve a 2 (Low Pass) or above for each of the assessment criteria.

The overall result achieved will dictate the outcome the learner receives for the unit, provided NONE of the assessment criteria have been failed or referred.

Please note that learners will receive a Pass or Fail result from the CIPD at unit level. Referral grades can be used internally by the centre. 5HR02 Talent Management and Workforce Planning
