RECENT ASSIGNMENT

Assessment Task 2: Implement an employee relations strategy
For this assessment task, you will demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to implement employee relations options and identify and arrange for related training needs of personnel.
Building on the work conducted in Assessment Task 1, you are now required to develop an implementation plan, describing how the employee relations strategy will be actioned into work operations at the simulated business - Safety Traffic Co.
Procedures
As part of Assessment Task 1, you developed an employee relations strategy proposal for Safety Traffic Co., which was submitted to the management team for review. Simulating the response from the email sent in Task 1, you, in your role as the Human Resources Manager at Safety Traffic Co. have just received an email confirmation that the top three most cost-effective options in your proposal have been approved.
To complete this task, you will be required to continue to complete a series of activities based on the role of Human Resources Manager at Safety Traffic Co. and to develop a written implementation plan describing how the employee relations strategy will be actioned into work operations at Safety Traffic Co. The outcome of the work conducted in this Task will be implemented in a simulated environment in Assessment Task 3.
Procedures
To satisfactorily complete this assessment task, Students are required to undertake each activity in the order listed below, to an acceptable industry standard:
1. Review the Safety Traffic Co. simulated business information provided on your student platform.
2. Based on the most cost-effective employee relations option student’s developed (in consultation with the Assessor) in the draft employee relations proposal in Assessment Task 1, develop an implementation and contingency plan for the employee relations strategy. See Appendix 1 in this Assessment Task 2 for the implementation and contingency plan templates.
The Student’s plan should include:
a. the employee relations option being implemented
b. activities required for implementation
c. a timeframe
d. resources required
e. costs
f. people responsible for tasks
g. contingency planning.
3. Students should then develop a written training implementation plan that outlines training that will be delivered to: support the implementation of employee relations option; and improve site supervisors’ skills in conflict management techniques. Students should refer to Appendix 2 in this Task 2, for the training implementation plan template.
The Students plan should include:
a. learning objectives
b. required competencies
c. training methods
d. the number of training sessions
e. a proposed timeframe to complete the training.
4. Students should then develop a monitoring and review plan describing how the employee relations strategy will be reviewed over the next 12 months. Students will need to identify how they will determine whether long-term employee relations objectives and current organisational needs are being met. Students should refer to Appendix 3 in this Task 2, for the monitoring and review plan template.
5. Submit all documentation to the assessor as per the specifications below. Please keep copies for your records.
