Nomvula and the Helpful WhatsApp Group
Nomvula is a final-year undergraduate student registered for an HRD module at Unisa. As part of her portfolio, she must
submit a reflective report and a case-based application assignment.
She belongs to a WhatsApp study group where students discuss module concepts. A few days before the portfolio
submission deadline, one student shares their completed reflective report and says, “Use this as a guide – just change the
wording.”
Nomvula notices that the report closely aligns with the portfolio requirements and includes references she had not
considered. She copies some sections, rewrites them in her own words, and submits her portfolio. She does not cite the
shared report, believing that collaboration is encouraged in ODeL environments.

Managing HRD at Ubuntu Retail Stores
Ubuntu Retail Stores is a medium-sized South African retail chain with outlets in three provinces. The organisation employs
approximately 480 employees across cashiers, shelf packers, supervisors, store managers and a small head-office team.
Most frontline employees hold NQF Level 3–4 qualifications, while many supervisors and store managers were promoted
based on operational experience rather than formal leadership or people-development training.
The organisation is registered with the Wholesale and Retail SETA and submits an annual Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) and
Annual Training Report (ATR). However, HRD activities have historically been fragmented, reactive and compliance-driven,
with limited evaluation of learning impact.
To address declining customer service scores, high cashier turnover and inconsistent supervisory capability, the executive
team mandates the HR Manager to formalise and strengthen the HRD function. This includes:
• Developing an HRD strategy aligned to business objectives
• Clarifying roles and responsibilities for learning and development at store and head-office level
• Implementing structured workplace learning programmes (learnerships, skills programmes, coaching and mentoring)
• Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of learning interventions
The HR Manager must now manage the HRD function in a way that balances legislative compliance, organisational
performance, employee development, and sustainable talent pipelines across the retail value chain.
Question
The MOST appropriate way to integrate HRD with talent management at Ubuntu Retail Stores is to:
Select one:
Provide training to new employees
Provide development opportunities only to high performing employees
Focus on skills development and SETA-aligned training
Align learning with succession planning and career development
