As you develop your career as a people professional you will be involved in solving complex organisational problems. The challenge is to find reliable trustworthy solutions and not be distracted by unreliable facts, outdated and biased opinions or superficial quick fixes.

The CIPD promotes an evidence-based approach to people management to enable people professionals to increase their level of influence, making better, more effective decisions, to help organisations achieve their goals.

The purpose of this unit is for you to apply evidence-based practice to a people focused business issue, developing your research skills and ability to write a persuasive business report.
