Human Resource Management CW1 Group Report: Issues and Challenges

This assignment is a group report on Human Resource Management (HRM) issues, focusing on topics like zero-hour contracts, human capital, the skills gap, and precarious employment. Students are required to form groups of four and produce a 1,500-word report, with individual contributions of approximately 250 words per student, covering two chosen HRM topics. Each group must use a minimum of 12 sources, including at least four academic peer-reviewed journal articles. The report includes an introduction, a conclusion, and four sections, each written by a different student, addressing specific sub-themes within the chosen topics. The assignment emphasizes research skills, team collaboration, and the application of sources, particularly academic articles, to develop a critical analysis. The report must follow Harvard referencing style and is submitted electronically. The goal is to assess students' understanding of HRM issues, research skills, and individual writing abilities, providing feedback for future assignments.
