In this assignment is required to work to research a case study organisation that they have selected. The Group Report should cover Part A and Part B as outlined below:
Part A
• The organisation’s strategic mission, vision, values, goals and corporate strategies.
• The nature of the organisation’s business.
• The size of its earnings, who its main competitors are and where it is positioned in its industry (for public sector and not-for-profit sectors substitute revenue and expenditure).
• The size of its market in Australia, if applicable (this section is not relevant if the organisation is public or not for profit).
• The organisation’s environmental context, including a SWOT and/or PESTEL analysis. A SWOT analysis looks at Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats as applied to an organisation; whereas a PESTEL analysis looks at the Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal contexts for an organisation. Both operate to provide environmental context to the organisation’s plans and enable an organisation to analyse where it is today and where it needs to move to in order to respond to changing circumstances.
• The size of its workforce and its workforce profile.
• Any philosophy that defines how it manages its workforce.
Part B
• An outline of the critical HRM issues raised by the organisational analysis in Part A.
• A description of the key features of the case study organisation’s performance management, rewards management and human resource development practices.
• A brief analysis regarding what the organisational analysis (Part A) means for the performance management, rewards management and human resource development practices.
