Case study
Leia Technologies was formed in 2017 and employs 75 people. Recently the company has launched
its new app “Money4Future” and provides saving and investment products including Lifetime ISAs,
pensions and saving accounts.
After a hectic start up, the company’s HR team is now able to reflect on its reward strategies and
policies. They recognise due to the growth of the company, and the amount of new people within
the HR team, that there are some gaps in knowledge about Reward for Performance and
Contribution.
As a senior member of the HR Team, you have received a request from a colleague for an
understanding of the issues relating to the impact of reward approaches and packages, how
benchmarking data can inform reward approaches and the role of people professionals in supporting
line managers.
Your manager has asked you to produce a guidance document to be sent to your colleagues and a
blog article to be placed on the HR Team’s online news page.
Preparation for the Tasks:
? Refer to the indicative content in the unit to guide and support your evidence.
? Pay attention to how your evidence is presented, remember you are working in the People
Practice Team for this task.
? Ensure that the evidence generated for this assessment remains your own work.
You will also benefit from:
? Reflecting on your own experiences of learning opportunities and training and continuing
professional development.
? Reading the CIPD Insight, Fact Sheets and related online material on these topics.
? You should relate academic concepts, theories, and professional practice to the assessment
task(s), in a critical and informed way, and with reference to key texts, articles and other
publications.
Don’t forget to:
? Complete the front cover sheet, sign with a “wet signature” and place at the front of your
assessment.
? Use the bullet points below each task as headings and sub-headings so your marker can see
where your answer begins.
