About Resourcing and Rewarding Talent

Welcome to the module Resourcing and Rewarding Talent. As explained in the video introduction, this guide is intended to help answer the questions you may have about what we will be doing for the coming year but there are other important sources of information - especially Brightspace and the Student Course Handbook.

The University’s module code is IPGDHRMM05.

This module explores issues associated with workforce planning and attracting, hiring, on boarding and retaining staff in an increasingly dynamic and diverse labour market.

It also provides the understanding necessary to manage performance and plan, implement and evaluate reward systems in a range of organisational contexts. Students will be encouraged to critically reflect on approaches to recognising and rewarding individual, team and organisational performance in a fair, reasonable and equitable way. It will therefore be of immediate relevance to those building a career in HR or who have day to day people management responsibilities.

Throughout the module the focus will be on using diagnostic, analytical and evaluative approaches.

Students will be able to demonstrate the analytical and critical capabilities developed during the module and acquire a knowledge of current practice in resourcing and reward. It should be good fun too!

2

This Guide was accurate at the time of preparation, early in September 2020.

Government regulation on containing Covid-19 is frequently updated and public health advice on staying safe is developing.

This may affect aspects of the module and how it is delivered. At the present time delivery will be online using Brightspace.

Revisions and updates will be posted on Brightspace.

When, where and how?

The leader for this module is Simon Faiers. If you have not already done so, take a look at the ‘Welcome to the module’ video.

The module will be delivered online. It is likely that you may not have looked at Brightspace for several weeks, so you might find the Digital Fluency guides useful.

For your diary, there will be a lecture or class each Wednesday evening, for about an hour, from 18.00. Although many of these classes will be centred around a lecture, there will be plenty of opportunity during this time for exchanges by either voice or chat.

Online tutorials and other activities will be part of the module and wherever practical, these will also be scheduled for late Wednesday afternoons or evenings.

The module begins on Wednesday 30 September 2020 and a more detailed timetable for the academic year will be available on Brightspace.

Staying in touch and keeping up to date

Do make looking at Brightspace part of your routine during term time.

Lectures will be recorded, so you can ‘listen again’ if you cannot make it; other activities such as tutorials and break outs generally will not be.

Learning materials and pre-class engagement activity - which are important - will be posted on Brightspace in advance of each class.

Continue your WhatsApp group to share news and updates. Use ‘Discussion’ on Brightspace.

In section 6 below, there are details of other useful sources of information, guidance and contacts.

Keeping in touch with me is straightforward. I can be accessed via the UoS email account s.faiers@uos.ac.uk; on Wednesdays the reply should be prompt, at other times it may take a little longer. If matters are urgent you can contact me at simon.faiers@energypeople.co.uk.

Module Aims

This module is designed to provide students with: 



A theoretical and normative understanding of the diverse approaches to people resourcing and reward management.

The ability to critically evaluate resourcing and reward interventions in promoting individual and organisational performance.

The University has overarching aims too and these can be found in the Course Handbook.

5

Module Learning and Teaching

Each class will be centred around a lecture on the topic of the week, delivered online via Brightspace. This will be supplemented by discussion (for example on a current issue or a relevant previous exam question), case studies (for example identifying recruitment and retention issues in a third sector organisation), practical exercises (for example comparing the weighting of two jobs in the absence of a job evaluation scheme) and quizzes or challenges (in a variety of formats through Brightspace) to check understanding.

There will be occasional formative assessment opportunities (similar to those used in preparing for the Time Constrained Assessment at the end of year 1). As before, these will be optional but I would encourage you to participate. These will set the scene for the summative assessments described in 7 below.

What is expected of you? As a student on this module, you will be expected to contribute to online classes other module related activities; access and engage with module learning materials and reading/information sources as advised; feedback on any aspects of the module that you believe could be improved; and be aware of and work to the deadlines for assessments.

Module Resources

6.1

Information sources

There will be a resources available on Brightspace for each topic that we cover.

To make it as straightforward as possible for you when organising your notes, as in year 1, each theme/set of slides and documents will have its own document number.

The majority of reading will be academic sources including textbooks, authored texts, edited books, journal articles and the professional press, podcasts/video and social media.

Using the reading recommended in sections 9 and 10 below, try to explore a wide range of literature. This theme by theme list has been restructured so as to make maximum use of open source material, meaning that there should be no issues with access. New material will be added throughout the module.

1.2

Useful contacts

Three people who will be continue to be very useful contacts while studying this module are Kay (who you will be working closely with on other modules), Gina and Craig.

7.3

Assessment 1 - Assignment

The assignment is available now and can be found on Brightspace.

Do remind yourself about the protocol for on line submission well before submission is due.

Become familiar with the assessment feedback sheet used for this course and the University’s generic assessment criteria for students at Level 7. These provide a more detailed explanation of what is required to achieve the marks available.

These are available on Brightspace and will be reviewed in class.

Early during the first semester we will devote time to an assignment briefing and following this, tutorial support will be available up to and including Wednesday 9 December. The assignment briefing will be designed to ensure that you are equipped to plan your assignment, are clear on the assessment criteria and understand the significance of demonstrating evidence based and critical analysis in your answer.

7.4

Assessment 2 - Time constrained assessment

As in year 1, a TCA replaces the examination and will take place in May 2021.

This will comprise Part A - a case study, together with Part B - 3 questions from 5.

There will be ample time for revision and preparation towards the end of the module. From early in the module, we will take an opportunity to look at topics from previous papers and review and evaluate the key elements of a ‘good’ answer.

Regular participation will therefore ensure that you develop a thorough understanding of what is expected in the May TCA. 8

Module Evaluation

There will be an opportunity to review and comment on this module early in the new year and towards the end of the academic year, as you did with the modules studied during your first year.

However, much more importantly, there will be a Discussion on Brightspace (more about this in the Module area of Brightspace). If there are aspects of the module and its delivery which could be improved, join the Discussion and do let me know as soon as possible should you encounter problems.

Online delivery is new to me and to some of you; together we can learn much about how to improve your learning experience.

Reading and information sources

9.1

Core resources

This list is the same as that found in the Learning Services web area, though with the addition of the thematic reading for the main topics we will cover in section 10, which follows below.

There are two CIPD texts for this module, one focusing on resourcing and one reward. These are: 

Taylor, S. (2018) Resourcing and Talent Management. 7 th Edition. London: Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and Kogan Page. and



Jones S and Perkins, S. (2020) Reward Management, Alternatives, Consequences and Contexts. 4 th Edition. London: Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.

However, if you are working to a tight budget and already have access an up to date copy of one of the generalist text books for an earlier module, this will be fine. Among those that students have found most useful are: 

Armstrong, M. and Taylor, S. (2020) Armstrongs Handbook of Human Resource Management Practice, 15th Edition. London: Kogan Page. or



Marchington, M, Wilkinson A. Donnelly, R, and Kynighou A. (2016), Human Resource Management at Work. London: Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.

(This CIPD text is useful but now becoming a little dated and a new, 7 th edition is not available until November. So, if you are buying now, Armstrong is probably the best buy!)

There are several suitable alternatives. General textbooks tend to be revised every few years to ensure they reflect recent research and changes in HR practice. As a general rule therefore, if you are buying one or more of these books ensure that you purchase the latest edition.

Other reading is listed below, with books first. At the time of preparing this guide, those coloured in grey are available as eBooks and more may be added. If accessing these is difficult, look at the reading in the following sections, where the majority of the references are open source.

The CIPD publish a series of fact sheets which provide helpful introductions to topics covered in the module. They are typically quite basic but well written and kept up to date.

9.2

Thematic resources

While the focus is on demonstrating the analytical and critical analysis capabilities you have developed during the course, it is also important that you are able to integrate a knowledge of current practice into your work.

To help with this, you should be aware of the latest editions of the CIPD surveys 2 relevant to resourcing and reward, particularly perhaps: CIPD (2018) Resourcing and Talent Planning 2017. Survey report. London: Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and Hays. [Online] (Resourcing and talent planning 2020 will be available from the Autumn of 2020).

CIPD (2019) Reward Management Focus on pay 2019 Report. London: Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. [Online] CIPD (2020) Health and well-being at work. Survey report London: Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and Simplyhealth. [Online]. This includes absence management practice and data.

2 There are other surveys on these HR practices (by for example XpertHR, CBI, EEF) but often the latest editions are only available to members or subscribers.

Resourcing and Rewarding Talent Module Guide 2020/21

There is a range of helpful websites and other data sources which we will review in more detail during the course of study.

When looking for examples of current practice, the general message is only use authoritative sites - for example the professional bodies (CIPD, CMI); Government and its agencies (BEIS, ACAS, Office for National Statistics, Equality and Human Rights Commission); or reputable third party commercial organisations (Hay Group – now Korn Ferry - PwC, Deloittes). More generally, one of the best general sources for this module is www.cipd.co.uk.

Follow up with those in the table below and try to explore a wide range of resources, especially the more academic literature. And don’t forget to use your year 1 resources at appropriate points.

Some themes will take up a class; others up to two classes to cover. After the introductory discussion and refresher, there will be learning materials available on Brightspace for each theme. Each set of resources will have its own document number (this is the number shown in the left hand column of the table below). This module is addressing issues where market conditions, the economic context and professional practice can change rapidly, so being up to date is important.
