Task 2 (extension activity for merit)

The meeting was productive but one key omission was identified; namely the impact of government legislation on the future HR strategy. Produce a paper for circulation to colleagues which:

• analyses the impact of government legislation on human resource management strategies.

Task 3

It is clear that given the potential developments in the organisation, it is important to involve other staff at an early stage in the change and development process. You have been asked to work with more junior staff in HR, so they understand how the department will contribute to the achievement of the organisation's strategic plans.

Produce materials for a training event which:

• analyse the different models of strategic human resource management

Task 4

You have decided that to support the workshop, you will produce a reference guide for staff in the department to use as the organisation's human resource strategy is prepared and disseminated. Your line manager believes this is an excellent initiative. The reference guide must:
• assess the factors to be considered when preparing human resource management strategies
• evaluate the key elements of a human resource management strategy.

Extension activities:

To gain a merit grade you must produce a further section for the reference guide which:

• discusses how internal and external factors impact on the elements of human resources management strategies.

To gain a distinction grade you must:

• evaluate the model used by an organisation in the development of its HR strategy

You may use an organisation of your choice as this will be used as a working example.

Task 5

Your line manager wishes to model the strategic human resource management strategy for EasiClean and plans to use exemplar materials. He has asked you to complete the following tasks:

• Develop a strategic human resource management strategy for an organisation of your choice.
• Explain how the proposed human resources management strategy will support achievement of the business objectives for this organisation.

Extension activities:

To gain a distinction grade you must also include in an assessment of:
