TASK 1
1.
The strategic HRM is targeting to select the right person in right field,
human resource systems and organisational culture are to be finding the
right candidate to implement corporate strategies and give the best to the
organisation. Based on the organisations strategic plan, you can develop
a strategic human resources management plan that will enable the
organisation to make decisions to support its future direction.
2. 2
Recruitment and selection: This tool is helpful to find and hire the
right candidate for the right job.
Induction, training and development: It makes obedient, punctual,
socialise staff and update their skills and careers in every step of
1
their life.
2
Australia newsletters and emails, industry bodies and unions for their
regular updates.
7. Explain how you will consult with relevant managers to identify their
human resource needs and preferences.
Consult could be via feedback, complain form a survey or questionnaire,
focus groups, team meetings and individual meetings focused on
discussion of requirements.
8. How will you gain agreement from managers for the strategic human
resources plan?
The best way to gain agreement form mangers is Communication and
consultation, with the objectives for the strategic human resource plan
being clearly expressed.
9. What potential costs and benefits are associated with the provision of
an internet – based recruitment system?
10. How can you ensure the strategic plan’s style of writing matchers its
purpose and audience?
3
11. Organisations need to have a ready supply of labour to ensure it can meet its
objectives –outline three possible options for sourcing labour.
12. Describe at least two systems, devices or applications of technology that may
affect job roles in an organisation. Explain the possible impact.
b. What potential issues and/or problems might the company face in the
near future?
4
Company B’s main problem will be finding suitable staff in their new
location- many staff may not want to relocate, and the cost of
redundancies and relocations could be prohibitive. Closingits
manufacturing locations may lead to a lack of product and therefore
sales, rumours about what is doing ay mean of loses its best staff to
other organisations.
TASK 2
Explain how you will identify appropriate people to work with you on the strategic HR plan’s
implementation.
By doing the interviewing among the candidates and consult with senior management to identify the right
people to work on the implementation, such as managers directly affected by the changes to be
implemented, specialist HR people, consultants and those with expertise in HR service delivery and plan
implementation.
1. Identify four types of data needed to develop a new HR budget. Why is it necessary to collect this
data?
2. Identify and explain one of the hurdles to effective monitoring and review.
5
One hurdle could be a lack of resources, such as mangers being unable to get the expert help needed at the
right tie, relevanttool is not available when needed, technology is out of date, and less team members to
deal with risks or communication.
Changes to competition legislation may affect business and reduce opportunities, which
reduce access to funds to complete a project.
Changes to taxation and superannuation may impact payroll costs, thus increasing overall
costs for the organisation.
4. What changes to internal and external factors could result in the need to modify or refine an HR
plan? Provide an example of each.
Lack of skilled people to resource a new project may require HR to redirect resources
away from the project to recruit new employees.
5. Develop a process for evaluating the overall effectiveness of HR strategies and services.
Gather data (use a survey of managers and employees, focus groups, request feedback
from managers, etc.)
Review the implementation plan to identify time lines for the introduction of strategies.
6. Explain how you will monitor the progress of the strategic HR plan’s implementation.
Feedback from those involved in the implementation, asking questions like; Are the plan
and its HR strategies accepted? Is there resistance to the change and what does this look
like? Are employees unsure of what to do?
6
Costs associated with delivering the HR strategies/services.
7. Identify and explain two reasons why you might need to adapt the strategic HR plan.
A new strategy: such as a merger, may mean new HR strategies must be developed to
accommodate the organisational strategy.
8. Identify at least three pieces of legislation relevant to the operations of an organisation you are
familiar with. Explain the relevance of the legislation to human resources.
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (cth) or existing state./territory WHS legislative
requirements.
All legislation is relevance to HR because they bounded by those Rules and legislation.
9. Identify the steps required to undertake a cost-benefit analysis of these options. Explain the
concept of a cost-benefit analysis as part of the effective provision or HR services.
Identify costs.
Identify benefits.
A cost – benefit analysis is required to begin the evaluation of HR service provision requirements
or opportunities.
10. Consider an organisation you are familiar with. Assume you are the HR manager and you have
been asked by one of the organisation’s manages to provide advice on how to evaluate the
performance of a plan against the plan’s stated objectives. Develop a checklist of action the
manager can use to effectively undertake this task.
7
Identify who will use the evaluation and review of the plan.
Collect the data you need including interviews, surveys, reports and focus groups.
Clearly articulate the plan you will evaluate, including its outcomes and deliverables.
Seek clarification from the project manager as to what stage/phase the project is up to.
Identify the reports and other information you will need for your evaluation.
Consider how you will maintain the integrity of the data you gather.
8
Successful strategic planning implementation requires a large commitment from
executives and senior managers, whether the strategic planning is occurring in a
department or in a complete organization.
Executives must lead, support, follow-up, and live the results of the strategic planning
implementation process. Or, the strategic planning implementation process will fail. It’s
as simple as that.
Without the full commitment of the organization’s senior executives, don’t even start
strategic planning. Participants will feel fooled and misled. A vision statement and a
mission statement, along with this year’s goals, filed, unimplemented in a cabinet or
computer, is a serious source of negativity and poor employee morale
Question 2: identify four types of data needed to develop a new HR budget. Why is it
necessary to collect this data?
9
Question 3: identify and explain one of the hurdles to effective monitoring and
review.
- Wage and Hour: The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes the amount of
the federal minimum wage, which is revised on a periodic basis. Because several
states have legislation establishing a minimum wage higher than the federal
minimum, HR professionals should continuously verify the accuracy of the
amount paid to employees. In addition to extensive child labor regulations, FLSA
regulations also require all covered employees to be paid overtime for any hours
worked over 40 in a workweek. Several exemptions to the FLSA exist, and HR
managers should ensure employees are classified appropriately for their job
duties. Failure to comply with the FLSA can lead to penalties and back pay for up
to two years or three, if the violation is deemed to be willful. Don't assume that
your business is too small to be covered the FLSA does not specify a minimum
number of employees.
- Medical and Disability: Various federal laws dictate how the employer must treat
an employee with a disability or medical condition. The Americans with
Disabilities Act prohibits an employer from discriminating against employees on
the basis of a disability or perceived disability. The Act also requires employers to
make reasonable accommodations to allow employees to perform their job duties
and provide accommodations like interpreters to enable disabled customers to
access the goods or services the company provides. The Act also requires
companies to modify the premises to allow customers to access the facility. Other
medical legislation includes the Genetic Information and Nondiscrimination Act
which prohibits discrimination on the basis of genetic information, such as a
family history of a disorder. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
10
Act protects an employee's privacy regarding medical information and means HR
must train managers on what information they should, or should not, require
regarding an employee's medical situation.
Question 5: What changes to internal and external factors could result in the need
to modify or refine an HR plan? Provide an example of each.
- Skilled workers: for example, Workforce planning can assist TAFE Institutes
anticipate the staffing and skill requirements of the changing VET environment.
This is essential if the TAFE sector is to adequately meet the changing demands
of its operating environment and specific markets. Some Institutes are already
taking action to shape their future workforces, thus ensuring their continued
ability to deal with business challenges in the medium to longer-term.
- Environmental issues and trends: Factors that may impact the organization and the
way it conducts business. Internal issues include staff, services, skills, resources,
and needs. External factors include such things as threats of outsourcing. A
strategic planning committee compiles an environmental scan, a body of
information about the environment. Broad issues, singled out as potentially
having significant effect on the facilities planning and management industry, are
referred to as mega issues.
- Economic downfall: it could strongly affect the business. Business will hardly
have benefit and run the company well such as it could lead to the decrease of the
supply and demand or reduce incomes and increase costs.
- New legislations: Government provides legislations to protect workers and
businesses. However, there is much legislation that could only benefits employees
and brings more difficulty to business. It will influence the development of
business.
Evaluation approaches and many of the associated tools may be broadly placed in
two groups, quantitative or qualitative evaluation.
- Quantitative evaluation: These allow you to objectively measure HR activities
using numbers. HRMIS may often be used to collect and analyse this information.
- Qualitative evaluation: This allows you to measure HR activities using
judgement or opinion such as:
• Focus groups
• Records of performance appraisal
11
• Questionnaires that allow open-ended responses (eg to gather information on
values or attitudes)
• Consultative groups.
Question 7: Explain how you will monitor the process of the strategic HR plan’s
implementation.
- Documents review
- Surveys
- Discussions with individuals, groups.
- Interviews
- Informal conversations
- Observations
- Problem tree
- Listening to people
Question 8: Identify and explain two reasons why you might need to adapt the strategic
HR plan.
12
information. And educating your staff about privacy issues will also ensure a
culture of security throughout your business.
- Work Health and Safety Act 2011: a duty of care to the health and safety of your
staff, customers and the general public as per the Work Health and Safety Act
2011.
- Anti-Discrimination Act 1991: which aims to protect people from unfair
discrimination, sexual harassment and other objectionable conduct and provides a
means to bring a complaint and have it resolved.
Question 10: Identify the steps required to undertake a cost-benefit analysis of these
options. Explain the concept of a cost- benefit analysis as part of the effective provision
of HR services.
Question 11: Explain three changes in circumstances that might prompt you to adapt
your human resources strategic plan.
- Recruiting could be greatly simplified, the major obstacle being the current focus
on “fit”, even for regular process type positions. This may have less relevance in
the future in a more adult environment and a different style of supervision. Our
13
new age efficient organization should be structured to accommodate all
employees and focus more on job commitment than job engagement.
- We must be supremely flexible and structure our various HR functions as simply
as possible, almost like modules that holistically are integrated but separable for
any necessary updating and adaptation to changing circumstances
- Our data source and measurable activity data should flow from and into the main
companywide system and be manipulated in conjunction with other data to
provide consolidated intelligence on many aspects of the business, for example
product costs and costs of sales.
Question 12:
A HR manager needs to measures the progress being made towards the achievement of
the organisation's business objectives. It does so by planning, establishing, monitoring,
reviewing and evaluating organisational, functional, team and individual performance.
The components of the performance management system provide the framework within
which managers and employees operate. A successful performance management system
should:
- Know and understand what is expected of them in their job role (such as
performance objectives and performance standards)
- Have the skills and knowledge required to deliver on these expectations through
implementing development plans and learning and development activities
- Are given feedback and an opportunity to discuss their work performance
- Are rewarded for their performance through a reward and remuneration strategy
- Are counseled for underperformance and/or behaviour which is out of alignment
with organisational values and/or inconsistent with achievement of organisational
goals
- Are supported by the organisation to achieve optimum performance.
The report would look into the Human Resource strategic planning of the BizOp's from various angle. The
first part will identify the organizational structure of the firm to create a communication plan. The
researcher would act as an external HR consultant for the firm where the management structure is
elaborating the issues of communication of values, objectives, philosophies and policies of the business.
14
The support gained for such a plan is also elaborated in the study. Using the structures provided for the
plans and its implementation the support system needed is also elaborated. Further, in the second part, with
ten different subheads of assessment, the strategic direction, its objectives and purpose are elaborated. The
risk management plan is elaborated using the format provided. Nevertheless, the need for training and
development along with its needs for better operations are also justified in here.
All issues about the training and development are done along with three strategic guidelines to monitor and
review the process so that the needed changes can be accommodated in the plan for training for best results.
The performance evaluation against the set objectives would give space for improvements, which is being
discussed in this part.
Considering the stakeholders as in the provided the chart a communication plan is being laid down to build
their HR preferences and reach an agreement on policies, values, and philosophies of the business.

of manpower is done with suitable efficiency. The training and development step those needs to be obtained
also have to be made clear. The objective of getting new people in, growing larger, the career path for good
performers are all part of the strategic HR policy. Therefore, once this process is concluded the gaps of
manpower are clear, and thus the training or recruitment issues become prominent.
