(Solution) CIPD 7C003 Assessment Appendix B – Task one template – initial self assessment and learning plan

Initial ability rating:7

Justification for this rating:

Working as a people practice professional, I manage high-level standards of the ethical behaviours which are important for the different aspects of life. In particular, this is evidenced by my ability to ensure fair-based practice is enhanced, mutual respect for all, responsibility and eventually leading to an improved workplace (Hoang, 2022).

Further, development of ethical standpoints for people professionals is core for ensuring fairness, equality and mutual respect on how all stakeholders are treated. The outcome of this is assisting in establishing a framework appropriate for making decisions informed by moral principles with a capacity of promoting mutual trust and accountable organisations and society in entirety. Through an active application of ethical theories including deontology, consequentialism and virtual ethics provide varying contexts on organisations effectiveness in treating staff.

a) I intend to improve my overall ethical awareness and relating to all ethically

b) With new areas of organisation data analytics emerging, embracing ethics is essential

c) I want to learn how to best integrate my decision making process with high-level ethics

An example: Build my knowledge within the area of business ethics, with specific focus on how HRM professionals contribute to the development of cultures with high standards of ethics.

1.    I would enrol in seminars with an intention of understanding ethical factors of people practice within a period of 3 weeks

2.    I would evaluate different case studies, evaluating the diverse concepts towards the implementation of ethical decision making within a timeline of 3 weeks

The success of achieving these objectives would be evaluated through;

·      Ability to be attentive in the seminar and take an active part in discussions and engagements for understanding people practice roles which are varying

·      Understanding level of the case studies with ability to memorise them at a later date

The potential threats which I would encounter include;

Considering I am considering only the feedbacks sourced from my peers, there could be origin of biasness impacting my active practice. Also, this would take immense time in its implementation and lack of customised practice of my roles.

•   the promotion of fairness and transparency

•   wellbeing

•   employee voice

•    learning.

Justification for this rating:

As a people practice professional, effectively improving the business strategy promoting fair-based practice, transparent, and high-level wellbeing is instrumental. Further, enhancing a high-level staff voice and learning is core since it contribute to an increased engagement and improved workforce productivity (Galanti et al., 2021). Also, this is with an increased innovativeness and appropriate stakeholders relations.

Working in my current organisation, in line with my knowledge background, harnessing fair-based practice and transparent business practice could contribute to increased trust from clients and staff. By acquiring the essential knowledge as a people professional, this lead to an appropriate brand reputation and loyalty. In my current placement, an improved staff wellbeing could increase performance of the employees and lower absenteeism.

a) Considering my improvement areas, I need to establish an organisation which operate a learning culture defined by proficiency and being able to maintain competitiveness in areas of operations for success. This is particularly relevant when there is a need to boost understanding in a specific area of practice, using feedback for improving, promoting  willingness of taking risks and innovative learning culture

b) I need to come up with best practice in improving my collaboration skills in working as a team

c)  As a best practice, accommodating both negative and positive employee voice is important to ensure there is no discrimination. This is essential as there are often voices which are to the disadvantage of the organisation

·      Within a period of 9 months, establish a supportive corporate community which is close-knit and accessible to the authenticated users. This is for achieving 100% success in harnessing consistency in knowledge sharing

·      Ensure that in a period of 3 months I acquire relevant insights on best practice of working in collaboration and involving different teams

·      To set different platforms in modern technologies which could contribute to collection of both positive and negative employee voice

The success of achieving these objectives would be evaluated through;

·      Asking questions which relate to ethical issues and observing the best practice for responding and sourcing feedback

·      Ability to role play different situations which inform decision making on ethical considerations in my organisation

·      Discussion of ethical case studies and requesting for other people opinions on most appropriate practice and decision making

For the potential obstacles, they include;

·      Lacking sufficient resources in order to develop the community for harnessing knowledge sharing, collaboration and also investments on the modern technologies

·      Lacking a coordinated management and follow-up of the objectives which are being put into account and intended to be achieved
