3CO02 Level 3 CIPD Assignment : June 2024 – Principles of analytics

This unit looks at how people professionals make both straightforward and complex choices as they perform their roles. It focuses on how utilising a diverse range of analytics and evidence is essential to the rationalisation and enhancement of working practices and situational decision making to create value.

Preparation for the Tasks: 

• At the start of your assessment, you are encouraged to plan your 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.
• Ensure that the evidence generated for this assessment remains your own work.

You will also benefit from:

• Completing and acting on formative feedback from your assessor.
• Reflecting on your own experiences of learning opportunities and continuous professional development.

Task – Information sheet

Your manager has asked you to prepare an information sheet to give to an intake of new practitioners to the people practice team as part of their induction. The aim is to showcase how evidence-based practice and analytics are used by the people function to inform and assure sound decision-making.

She has asked for the information sheet to have two sections.

Section One

In section one she has asked you to:

• Explain what evidence-based practice is and how it might be applied within an organisation. (AC 1.1)
• Explain the importance of using data in organisations and why it is necessary to ensure that data is accurate when determining problems and issues. (AC 1.2)
• Explain the different types of data measurements used by people professionals. (AC 1.3)
• Explain how the application of agreed policies and procedures informs decisions. (AC 1.6)
• Explain how people professionals create value for people, organisations and wider stakeholders. (AC 2.1)
• Summarise the ways in which you can be customer-focused, and standards-driven in your own context. (AC 2.2)

Section Two

In section two, your manager has asked you to provide practical working examples of how the people practice team examines, interprets and presents the findings of data in different diagrammatical formats so it can be easily understood. She has asked you to use the information in Table 1 below, about turnover rates, as an example. The table shows the number of employees leaving different departments over a three-year period.

Table 1 – Review of turnover rates 2020 – 23 – (please double click on the icon to open the table)

To make the data more easily understood:

• show as a percentage the number of employees leaving each department, each year
• present the overall total leaving rate for the whole organisation as a percentage, for each year.  (AC 1.4)

Present your findings using at least two appropriate diagrammatic forms so it can be easily understood by end users.

Having analysed your findings, comment on any issues that the data has revealed and propose potential solutions. (AC 1.5)
