Theoretical Foundations and Linking Theory to Practice
5CO03 – Professional behaviours and valuing people
This CIPD Level 5 learning video for unit 5CO03 explores the theoretical foundations underpinning professional behaviours and valuing people, specifically addressing assessment criteria AC 2.1. The video examines how feeling included, valued, and fairly treated at work drives human and business benefits—including enhanced job satisfaction, reduced conflict, improved retention, and increased organisational efficiency—whilst linking these outcomes to key theorists such as Maslow, McClelland, and Daniel Pink. By analysing concepts of worker engagement and wellbeing, you'll develop the critical understanding needed to argue convincingly how inclusive and fair workplace practices strengthen both individual wellbeing and organisational performance.
