Understanding Organisations and the Role of Human Resources

You have been asked by your departmental head as part of your
development programme to prepare a presentation summarising the
purpose of your organisation and its operating environment; the current
structure, culture and functions of your organisation and how the HR
activities support your organisation.
In preparing a presentation of up to 10 slides you are expected to include:
 A clear statement of the purpose and goals of your organisation.
 An analysis of how external factors impact on your organisation’s
business activities, using an external environment analysis model or
tool.
 A description of your organisation’s products and/or services and its
customer base.
 An organisation chart which describes the main departments and/or
business functions and a short description of how they work together to
optimise business performance.
 An explanation of two different aspects of organisational culture and
how these impact on the way your organisation operates.
 A summary of how HR activities support your organisation’s strategy.
 An explanation, with examples, of the role of HR/L&D professionals in
