Context:
The
assessment of this subject supports students in developing their skills
and knowledge in topics that include strategic human resources
management, organisational design, culture and ethics, organisational
behaviour, motivation and performance management. Retention and
succession planning are important themes.
Instructions:
Assuming
you are the Senior HR Executive for MiningCo, which operates in a range
of isolated locations with many fly-in, fly-out staff on a rotating
two-week roster basis. Analyse and reflect on the following three
interrelated scenarios:
• Case one: you are tasked with researching
the impact of introducing performance management initiative on the
motivation of staff in your location. You are to make recommendations to
the board, specifically on how the proposed initiative will impact on
their decisions moving forward.
• Case two: MiningCo has a
problem—each isolated site operates as a single entity and there is very
little cross-over or staff rotation between them. The economic crisis
in Greece and the increasing impact of the presence of ISIS in the
Middle East on foreign nationals is resulting in many of the senior
executives onsite wishing to leave. You will need to make
recommendations to the board for how to curb any hysteria that ensues.
•
Case three: you need to put together a crisis management team to manage
the event that any substantial talent gap emerges at any individual
site. You will need to decide on the selection criteria, the format,
structure and function of the team and how you would reward them.

Following
your analysis, present your findings and recommendations in a report
addressed to the MiningCo board. You should make significant references
to subject material and substantial wider reading using the Torrens
University library. Attach appendices as necessary, noting that they are
surplus to the report (and its word count) and, therefore, assume they
may or may not be read by the board (and the marker). There is no
prescribed format for the report; use your own research to inform its
structure.
Assume the word limit is literally a limit and that the
board will reject any paper that breaches it. Students should use the
brief to guide what to include in the assessment and the following
rubric to inform the standard required.
