HEP: 4375/CRICOS Provider Code 00246M © Laureate International Universities 2016 Page 2 of 4 Task 1: Defining Human Resource Management The role of human resources can be defined in many different ways. Your task is to select a business of your choice, preferably the company you currently work for or a company you have previously worked for. If you do not have previous work experience, select a company that has information readily available on its website or where you may have access to interview an employee. Provide the following information; A brief description of the company – what they do and the size of the company in terms of employees A brief description of the type of employees with reference to Atkinson’s flexible firm model. Does it have a dedicated HR Department? If not, explain where the responsibilities for HR functions are situated in the company. What sort of approach to HR can you observe about the company? Consider the strategic human resource management model proposed by Nankervis et al (2014) – are there any roles that are not undertaken by the human resource team in your chosen company? For example, they may outsource some of the HR functions. At each of the different levels (strategic, operational and functional) describe the HR functions that are performed. A diagram may be useful to demonstrate the different HR roles and responsibilities in the organisation. Task 2: Recruitment and selection Search the journal database to locate a recent (post 2006) academic journal article that discusses recruitment and selection issues in Australia and one from another country. Compare and contrast the differences described in the journal articles. Write a 500 word literature review of the journal article to include in your portfolio. HEP: 4375/CRICOS Provider Code 00246M © Laureate International Universities 2016 Page 3 of 4 Task 3: Retention and development Choose an industry you recently worked in (or are planning to work) Option 1 Research the most common reasons that people stay in their jobs, i.e, what are the ‘retention levers’? Be sure to use accurate, reliable sources. Option 2 If your chosen industry is hospitality or another industry that suffers from high staff ‘wastage’ you may discuss the issues that relate to the high wastage. Your response should demonstrate depth of research and high level of understanding of the issues relating to retention. Write a one page response on either option 1 or 2. Task 4: Performance management Develop a performance management plan for a chosen position within an organisation. Include; a copy of the job description and a brief overview of the company a detailed description of the most suitable type of performance review method a justification as to ‘why’ the chosen review method is the most suitable a table demonstrating you have identified some of the pros and cons of your chosen performance review method relevant to the specific position you have chosen. A copy and paste from another source is not acceptable.
