Case Study:
Measuring the HR function's contribution to achieving overall organisational goals is more than designing and implementing a set of evaluative tools to the performance of this function. It is imperative to know the current context that is surrounding when assessing organisational performance. In short, there is a link between CPM / HRM and a) corporate sustainability; b) CSR; c) global warming. Relating CPM / HRM to "these three issues" (a-c) is vital. You need to be able to show how these three issues can ‘put a firm a step ahead'? and how CPM / HRM can assist in implementing corporate sustainability, CSR, and related programmes that address global warming? Use these cases study below to show how you -as an HR practitioner- would seek to extend the traditional role of Contemporary People Management and HRM.
