Part A
Based on the email and the attachments (page 28 of the assessment book), you are to undertake a meeting with your two employees for the purpose of completing a workforce plan for this coming year to meet HR strategic objectives.
Within the workforce plan (supplied as an attachment with the email) you need to: • Determine measures of performance for each of the three HR strategic objectives.
As an example, a performance measure for addressing unacceptable staff turnover could be ensuring that staff turnover is less than 10%.
• Develop a step-by-step strategy to implement each objective including a due date and who will be responsible for each step within the strategy. You should determine the strengths of workgroup members so that the strategies are more likely to be effective.
As an example, a strategy to source skilled labor might be to change internal work procedures by: either modifying existing or developing new policies and procedures, training appropriate staff in how to use the policies/procedures/documentation, communicating the changes to staff and managing the changes.
