Assignment 2 – Project report; 75%; 3000 words (+/- 10%); 10th January 2023 at
1pm.
The project will demonstrate your ability to research and report on a specific HR
issue (practice, policy) or problem outlined in the proposal. It must be based on the
secondary data provided in the module, ideally the same data-set that you selected
for the project proposal. It should be embedded in the existing body of academic and
industry knowledge on the phenomenon under investigation and insights into
quantitative methodology. It should demonstrate your ability to analyse data to draw
business relevant conclusions and to build business case for HR analytics.
In your report:
1) Indicate issue under investigation and rationale for investigating it
2) Demonstrate insights from the literature which will include review of previous
research on the topic (academic and industry)
3) Explain and justify analytical approach – go beyond discussion of the specific
analytic test to critically review the nature of quantitative and secondary data
overall and specifically in the data set.
4) Produce data analysis and interpretation and subsequently answers to the
posed analytical problems/questions. Draw conclusions and provide practical
recommendations for action.
5) Critically evaluate HR analytics approach – show how this approach can add
value to the organisation but also consider its limitations and ethical
challenges.
