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)

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.

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)
