What the worked example shows
The Kübler-Ross change curve can be used as a framework for discussing how employees may experience the introduction of cobots, although it should be treated as a simplified model rather than a prediction that every employee will move through identical stages. The framework is useful because it highlights that organisational change can create emotional as well as technical responses. Initially, some manufacturing employees may experience denial. Employees could believe that cobots will affect only other roles or that the proposed changes will not happen. Clear communication about the purpose, timing and likely job implications can reduce uncertainty.
This is a deliberately shortened extraction of the themes demonstrated in the paid worked-example resource. It is not the complete answer.
Key areas to develop in your own answer
- Identify the main concept, framework, model, practice or issue contained in the task.
- Use the case-study facts rather than writing only generic HR theory.
- Connect the relevant people-practice issue to organisational impact, employee outcomes or business objectives where the task requires it.
- For higher-order command verbs, weigh evidence, limitations, alternatives or implications rather than simply describing points.
- Support substantive claims with appropriate academic or professional evidence and use the referencing approach required by your centre.
Study direction
Read the shortened guidance first, then use the complete worked example to study how the ideas are developed into a structured response. The worked example is a study resource: adapt the reasoning, conduct your own research and write your own assessment response.
Command verb: Pay particular attention to the first word of the task — explain, analyse, assess, evaluate, compare, discuss or another verb — because it determines the depth of reasoning expected.
