5UIN Advice on how to choose the area to research

Beth

Hi there,

I'm just about to start unit 2, 5UIN, and I'm aware I have to choose an area to research and review.

Just wondered if anyone has any tips or advice on where to start, what to do first?

Thanks,

Beth

  • Hi Beth,

    I would recommend something in Employee Engagement or Employee Satisfaction/Happiness, this is a wide topic and you can pick/choose an area within it as your research topic, plenty of literature to use as basis and very relevant in any organization.

    Hi Omar,

    Thanks for this, I was intending to do Employee Engagement however I attended an online classroom and the tutor said to be careful of this as it's too broad?

    I'm now thrown...I'm looking to do Recruitment now but was really looking forward to Engagement.

    Thanks,
    Beth

    Hi Beth,

    Yes, Employee Engagement is "too broad", hence why I said find an area in it, examples are: -

    - Attracting the right talent impact on employee engagement.
    - Professional Development planning impact on Employee Engagement

    and so on and so forth, the idea is here for the research topic is to basically dig deep into one area of HR and get some findings and recommendations
  • Hi Beth - I think the best starting off-point is to think of a topic which particularly interests you, it'll help keep you motivated and thinking actively while researching, as well as basing it in something relevant to your organisation. For my 5UIN I looked at ways of improving gender parity in engineering roles, particularly for older women.

    Hi Amanda, really surprised to hear that. Several of my class, including myself, covered flexible/home working in a post covid world. Happy to look over your work and add comments is that would be helpful

    Hi Christopher,

    Thanks for this, and yes well I mentioned about a very similar topic as I'm doing construction and my tutor said this wasn't enough to work with?

    I am really struggling with the solutions side of things, for the critical literature review. In terms of how to set it all out etc...

    So stressful!

    Hi Merle, I'm actually working around supporting the transition of returning to office-based working and will be looking at flexible/home working as well. I'm lucky enough to be able to survey employees to get their views on how they feel this should work.

    I'd be grateful for any tips you may have?
