PART A - Group In-Class Activity

Your Task

There are two core components to this activity: to develop a draft report framework (plan) as a group in- class activity and then using that framework (plan) create an individual report based on the organisation's/companies Human Resource practices, workforce performance, culture and employee engagement.

Assessment Description

PART A (In-Class Draft Report Framework)

In Week 2/3/4 in-class groups (of 4 students) will be formed and the group will need to select an Australian organisation/company of your choice from the Australia's top 200 listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). You can find the list of companies

However, you CANNOT select organisation/company from the Banking, Airline, Supermarkets or the Telecommunication Sectors. You should not be choosing a Franchise Company. You should discuss your ideas with your before commencing

PART B - Individual Report

By looking at the organisation's/company's website and Annual Reports, you will be able to see whether it is possible to access enough information about its Human Resource (HR) practices to address the following:
1. How is your selected organisation/company trying to improve the performance of its workforce?
• Include at least one performance related initiative and one way in which its success could be measured
2. How is your selected organisation/company trying to improve its culture?
• Include at least one culture-based initiative and identify the type of culture prevalent within the organisation/company
3. How is your organisation trying to improve their rates of employee engagement?
• Include at least one employment-based initiative and the likelihood of success?

The group-work in-class component will provide you with an opportunity to assess your choice of organisation/company and its Human Resource practices. Students studying online will be provided with additional information.
