In this assessment task, you will draw upon insights gained across the unit to create a video presentation in response to a case study. Your presentation will outline the next steps for BHP's Chief People Officer, considering the social, economic, and political context surrounding the case. Your presentation should address the following questions:
Question 1: What specific human resource management (HRM) strategies, practices, policies, or procedures may have caused or contributed to the underpayment of workers at BHP?
Question 2: In what ways do the principles and objectives of the 'same pay, same job' legislation contribute to BHP's opposition to the reform, and why?
Question 3: How should BHP's Chief People Officer respond to the issues in the case study, and more broadly what specific HRM strategies, practices, policies, or procedures should be employed?
