Academic Integrity and Misconduct

Unless this is a group assessment, the work you produce must be your own, with work taken from any other source properly referenced and attributed. For the avoidance of doubt this means that it is an infringement of academic integrity and, therefore, academic misconduct to ask someone else to carry out all or some of the work for you, whether paid or unpaid, or to use the work of another student whether current or previously submitted.

For further guidance on what constitutes plagiarism, contract cheating or collusion, or any other infringement of academic integrity, please read the University’s Academic Integrity and Misconduct Policy. Also useful resources to help with understanding academic integrity are available from UNPAC .

N.B. The penalties for academic misconduct are severe and can include failing the assessment, failing the module and expulsion from the university.

Written work submitted to TURNITIN will be subject to anti-plagiarism detection software. Turnitin checks student work for possible textual matches against internet available resources and its own proprietary database. Work

When you upload your work correctly to TURNITIN you will receive a receipt which is your record and proof of submission. If your assessment is not submitted to TURNITIN, rather than a receipt, you will see a green banner at the top of the screen that denotes successful submission.

N.B Work emailed directly to your tutor will not be marked.

Late submission of work

For first sits, if an item of assessment is submitted late and an extension has not been granted, the following will apply:

· Within one week of the original deadline – work will be marked and returned with full feedback and awarded a maximum bare pass grade.

· More than one week from original deadline – grade achievable LG (L indicating late).

For resits there are no allowances for work submitted late and it will be treated as a non-submission.

Please see the Assessment and Feedback Policy for full information on the processes related to assessment, grading and feedback, including anonymous grading. You will also find the generic grading criteria for achievement at University Grading Criteria. Also explained there are the meanings of the various G grades at the bottom of the grading scale including LG mentioned above.

Extensions

The University of Northampton’s general policy with regard to extensions is to be supportive of students who have genuine difficulties, but not against pressures of work that could have reasonably been anticipated.

For full details please refer to the Extensions Policy. Extensions are only available for first sits – they are not available for resits.

Mitigating Circumstances

For guidance on Mitigating circumstances please go to Mitigating Circumstances where you will find detailed guidance on the policy as well as guidance and the form for making an application.

Please note, however, that an application to defer an assessment on the grounds of mitigating circumstances should normally be made in advance of the submission deadline or examination date.

Introduction LLOYDS Bank has been delivering professional assistance and recommendations to British consumers, companies, and societies since 1765. Its understanding is based on this background, enabling our customers of all generations economic comfort and peace. It operates in the private sector. (Llyods, 2022).

This presentation is about the two areas of Management which are Motivating the employees during the time of unprecedented change and Ensuring employees’ readiness.

We will also be learning about the impact of covid on these areas and how the organization is making efforts to amend the consequences.

Employee motivation refers to the amount of enthusiasm, dedication, and invention that

employees bring to their professions. (Susilo, 2018). Finding strategies to encourage

employees is always a management priority, regardless of whether the economy has grown

or declined. Motivating employees at the time of Covid-19 is the biggest challenge for all

companies and organizations. (Przytuła, Strzelec and Krysińska-Kościańska, 2020).

Therefore, LLOYDS Bank is trying to –

• In the current situation, the bank is trying to understand its employees and let them

know that the organization is here for them to help in achieving the targets.

• By providing an unbiased review of present circumstances to them, and comfort them

that the challenges will be faced together.

• By allowing the employees to make decisions about their work as much as possible and

encourage them to share their expertise and talents.

• By taking opinions and knowing the perspective of the employees to make them feel a

part of the company.

• Rewarding the employees on little success, so that they can be appreciated and can work

harder for the bigger targets.

• Incorporating leaders to follow activities to the inspirational portfolio in order to enhance

trust and sense of safety in the company while decreasing the level of anxiety,

resentment, and skepticism.

• Starting the interaction directly and regularly with each member of the team,

understanding them and enabling them to get to know about the goals and objectives of

the company, and establishing the company’s enthusiasm and purpose in them. (Schall,

and Chen, 2021).

Employee readiness is described as the degree to which employees are

prepared or eager to take part in learning. It plays a significant role for the

organization in a way that the trained employees will contribute to the

decision-making process which will lead to the diversities of ideas and

hence will lead to better decisions for the organization. (Matthews, Daigle

and Houston, 2018). Employee’s availability for training is characterized as

having the necessary character qualities such as capability, personality,

commitment, and willingness. Developing functional adaptability will require

adapting employees' skills and positions to post-pandemic modes of

working. (Roemer, Sutton and Medvedev, 2021).

LLOYDS’s main focus is –

• Making the supervisors and managers capable of handling the team in

the virtual model and training them how to lead the entire team from

remote working areas.

• The new recruiters will be trained directly by the managers as they can

teach and train them.

• Mapping out the skills which are currently required for making up the

losses. (Budur, Demir and Cura, 2021).

This research has helped in learning about the management

issues of motivating employees and why training is important at

the current time. The effects on the productivity of the

organization.

Covid-19 has affected people’s lives in every aspect, therefore, it

is necessary for the bank to have reforms in order to grow and

develop which will help it in overcoming the losses incurred

during lockdowns.
