The long-term impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on organizations, collaboration, communication and HR practices.
Description
Individual Report (2600 words – part 1) and Reflection (1000 words – part 2)
Write a formal report, with headings, using your reading, research, learning and journal content as a starting point. We suggest writing the report in two parts:
Part 1 (2,600 words) – written based on your research findings so in 3rd person
Your Individual Report should take the form of a consultancy report aimed at the management of LTR (Luton Town Residences) addressing the following key points:
– How will the Covid-19 pandemic impact organisations, HR practices, remote working, motivation and use of technology?
– What are the key issues that appear to be present within LTR regarding remote working?
– What key recommendations would you give to the management at LTR to improve remote working practices, backed by credible sources and the academic literature?
There should be clear evidence of reading about the topic beyond the areas discussed in class and include both academic sources to support your use of key models and concepts as well as credible non-academic sources to support your discussion and evaluation of recommendations to address the issues facing the attached Case Study company (Luton Town Residences). You must reference your sources both in-text and in a Reference List using the Harvard style
