Example introduction

How a strong CIPD introduction reads

A focused introduction sets scope, signposts structure and shows the assessor you understand the task. Here is the style and standard we help you reach.

This report examines the relationship between people practices and organisational performance within a mid-sized professional-services firm. It first outlines the strategic context in which the HR function operates, before analysing how evidence-based approaches to resourcing and reward influence employee engagement and, in turn, organisational outcomes. Drawing on established models and relevant academic literature, the discussion applies theory to a live workplace example and concludes with practical, criteria-aligned recommendations for people professionals.
Assessment-criteria mapping

Tutor-feedback improvement note

Example tutor-feedback improvement note

When you're referred, feedback can be hard to action. We translate it into clear, practical improvements like the note below.

Tutor comment: 'AC 2.1 not yet met — more analysis needed.' What this means: The response currently describes the two reward approaches but does not compare their strengths, limitations or suitability for the organisation. How to improve: Add a short comparative paragraph that weighs each approach against the organisation's context, supported by one credible source, and state which is more appropriate and why. This moves the answer from description to the analysis AC 2.1 requires.
