Task 1

Assessment Instructions

This is an individual assessment. For this task, you will use the scenario and simulated business information provided to identify long-term employee relations objectives and analyse existing employee relations performance and strategic and operational plans to develop options for an employee relations strategy and policies. You will then evaluate these options in terms of cost–benefit and risk analysis and legislative requirements and prepare a proposal strategy for management to review.

Procedure

Review the Safety Traffic Co. simulated business information provided by your assessor and submit all documentation to your assessor as per the specifications below. Please keep copies for your records.

   1. Identify and describe three long-term employee relations objectives for Safety Traffic Co.
   2. Analyse current employee relations performance.
   3. Develop several employee relations strategy or policy options for each of your identified employee relations objectives.
   4. Identify relevant Safety Traffic Co. stakeholders for each option and include a description of how they will be consulted.
   5. Evaluate each option, including:
      1. a cost–benefit analysis and an assessment of risk (include a completed cost–benefit analysis and risk assessment plan template, provided in Appendix 1)
      2. a determination of the likelihood of risk preventing the organisation meeting its objectives and the possible consequences of such an event on organisational performance.
   6. Document and summarise the legislative requirements and key entities in the industrial relations system (courts, tribunals, etc.) and considerations for each option.
   7. Include discussion of how your identified long-term employee relations objectives meet the needs of the organisation and how they address current employee relations issues.
