You need just to fix what I got for them 1 out of 4 that i failed in them.
The name of the file that you need to use for answering (5CO01-88876729), I’ll provide you of the remaining of files next chat.
Please re-submit your work as follows;
Review the feedback provided
Where criteria is marked FAIL there is an ACTION point provided.
You only need to action Failed criteria. Please ensure any additional text is highlighted in a
different colour font as so.
Please do not delete any words from assessment criteria which have already passed.
Re-save work as ‘attempt 2’. Please reach out to tutor if you have any questions or would like
to discuss any criteria.
Please ensure that ALL documents are provided in your re-submission.
For your resubmission you need to ensure your work is still within the wordcount stated on
the assessment brief.
Please refer to the guide in the help centre or guidance in the getting started area.
Please also ensure that your full name is presented within the title of the electronic file
name. Failure to do this could lead to work being mislaid or lost.
Well done for achieving a tolerant Turnitin score of 17% and keeping your work within the
word count guidance.
This is the time to finalise your assessments. Make sure you are within the word count as you
will fail your first attempt if you are over the 10% so no more words than 5005 max.
Crosscheck your answers against the grading grid – take a deep breath and submit!
To maximise your chances of passing this unit during your attempt 2, please take note of the
following important points:
1. Wordcount Requirements: It is essential to ensure that you still meet the wordcount
requirements as stated on the brief. If your work does not meet the specified
wordcount, we cannot mark it and you will receive an email asking you to amend
and re-upload your assessment.
2. Full Assessment Submission: Make sure that you submit a complete assessment
containing all the tasks. Please do not remove any content from assessment criteria
which has already been passed; if any tasks are missing, your work may not be
marked. Please refer to the guidance document on the Hub which explains how to
re-work your failed criteria to meet both the requirements and the word count.
3. Amendments: All amendments made to your submission must be clearly shown
using a different font colour or style to distinguish them from your attempt 1.
Please note for Level 7: You MUST use track changes for any amendments or
additions.
4. Submission Areas: Please submit your reworked submission in the “Attempt
2” submission area. (You might lose an attempt if you submit in the wrong area.)
5. Active CIPD Membership: To enable the CIPD to moderate your submission and
award your qualification, it is essential to have an active CIPD membership.
Question Analysis
AC 1.1 Evaluate t he adva ntag es and disadvantage…
You scored 3 / 4
Feedback: Marker’s feedback:
AC 1.1 PASS-3
Ahmed, you have demonstrated a good evaluation of the benefits and drawbacks of two
types of organisational structures. Your evaluation of Amazon’s – Hierarchical structure
and Valve Corporation’s Flat Organizational Structure. You have considered the
advantages and disadvantages for both organisations. You have supported your answer
with four wider reading insights.
For your development for the higher grade, a more comprehensive evaluation would have
enhanced your answer. This can be achieved by providing a evaluative paragraph at the end
of your advantages and disadvantages. Whilst you have provided a number of references,
alot of them were over 5 years old which can be considered outdated. Try to use more
recent references so your work is not informed with outdated research.

Ahmed, you have provided a good assessment of the importance of well-being at work and
the different factors which impact well-being. You have looked at the factors which
impacts wellbeing in a positive and negative way.
To have developed your answer further for the higher grade, you could have briefly
referred to the CIPD’s work on the 7 domains of well-being. This would have provided a
more comprehensive understanding of the different aspects that contribute to overall wellbeing in the workplace. Whilst you have provided a number of references, alot of them
were over 5 years old which can be considered outdated. Try to use more recent references
so your work is not informed with outdated research.

Harvard Referencing – a short guide
It is important to reference your work and cite the sources you’ve used clearly
and correctly. This is especially important at Advanced Level 7. This may take
a bit of practice, as it is not be the easiest skill to get right initially. Remember,
you should always try to find the original source instead of using Avado
learning material.
We have put together this short guide to give you extra information on how
to reference. We hope that this helps. If you have any other questions, please
reach out to the CIPD tutors, as they will gladly help you.
There are two options for in-text referencing:
o
o
Direct quotations
Paraphrasing an idea
Direct quotes
Direct quotes should be used sparingly and support your arguments. Ideally,
they should be avoided – used on their own, they do not count towards your
answer, as they are not your own words.
Here is an example of how to reference a direct in-text quotation:
Marchington and Kynighou (2012, p. 3336) stated: “Given that the global
financial crisis (GFC) has impacted on patterns of human resource
management, it is likely that this has also shaped employee involvement and
participation (EIP).”
Here is an example of how to paraphrase referenced text into your own
words:
Paraphrasing
Marchington and Kynighou (2012) suggest that the global financial crisis has
had a significant impact on employee participation and involvement.
However, in contrast, Taylor and Woodhams (2012) stated that it was more to
do with UK bank infrastructure than the global financial crisis.
Paraphrase means you are essentially writing the original author’s words in
your own words. However, it still must be accurately referenced.
Referencing in-text websites
As for websites, please do not do this!
As suggested by the BBC (2105) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business34324772, VW has been accused of modifying some of the software in their
diesel engines to avoid detection during testing.
Instead, do this!
According to Hotten (2015), VW has been accused of modifying some of the
software in their diesel engines to avoid detection during testing.
You need to find the author of the BBC source and reference them, not the
BBC.
Same source and year
Sometimes you might want to use different CIPD articles that have been
published in the same year but don’t mention an author. For example:
CIPD (2021a) ‘Health and Wellbeing at Work Report’ suggested that Covid-19
will not disappear. Organisations have put policies and procedures in place
to deal with Covid, such as ensuring that workers in critical services are fully
vaccinated (CIPD, 2021b).
Note the use of a and b. If you have more than one website of the same year
from the same source, use letters after the year.
At the end of the report, you need to produce a reference list. This references
the sources you have cited in the text. You can also produce a bibliography
showing what you have read but not cited.
An example of a reference list
The references should be in A-Z order of the first letter of the source.
Example CIPD website:
CIPD. (2021a.) Health and Wellbeing at Work 2021. Available at:
https.cipd.co.uk/Images/health-wellbeing-work-report-2021_tcm1893541.pdf [Accessed 02/09/2021].
CIPD (2021b). Responding to the coronavirus. Available at:
https://www.cipd.co.uk/knowledge/coronavirus#gref> [Accessed
02/09/2021].
Example of referencing a BBC website, using author
Hotten, R. (2015). Volkswagen: The scandal explained. BBC. Available at:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-34324772 [Accessed 02/09/2021].
Example of referencing an academic journal
Marchington, M. and Kynighou, A. (2007). The dynamics of employee involvement and
participation during turbulent times. International Journal of Human Resource
Management. Vol. 23, No. 16. Pp. 3336 –3354.
Example of referencing a textbook
Taylor, S. and Woodhams, C. (2016). Managing People and Organisations. 1st
ed. McGraw-Hill Education Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Good luck!
CIPD Word Count Policy – October 2022
CIPD provides a word count for each core and pathway assessment. This word count is
relative to the credit value of the unit and learners are required to stay within this -/+ 10% and
declare their word count on submission of each assessment.
Where the learner exceeds the word count beyond the +10%, the assessment should be
rejected for marking, returned to the learner and counted as a refer. Learners will then be
allowed to resubmit their assessment in line with the CIPD referral policy.
Included within the word count should be any text that is central to a learner’s answer, and
which responds to and addresses the questions/tasks, excluding data presented in tables and
diagrams. Where a learner wishes to present information that is not central to their response,
but which underpins and is relevant to it, linked appendices may be provided and will not be
counted within the word count. When assessing learner work, the appendices should not be
marked but considered as information that supports the learner’s submission.
Further information about what is included in, and excluded from, the word count is set out
below – the components will vary according to the level of qualification being studied:

Where learners resubmit work after a referral, they are still required to adhere to the word
count policy for the assessment. However, only the assessment criteria on which a learner has
been referred should be re-marked.
For centre devised assessments, centres should set a word count limit in line with CIPD’s
approach which is 3900 words for a 6-credit unit at Associate level and 4000 words for a 15
credit unit at Advanced level and follow the same principles as described above.
