Case study 4 Jason works for a community services organisation within a team responsible for developing and updating workplace procedures. Jason is currently updating several procedures that are in place to help workers meet their ethical and legal workplace responsibilities. Jason develops a draft of the new workplace procedures and sends it out to all of the workers that will be affected by the changes, requesting their feedback. Jason understands that these procedures provide good general advice to workers but cant always resolve complex work situations and conflict. Jason speaks to the Human Resource manager Justine and asks for her advice on what situations should be referred to a supervisor. Together they update the workplace procedures to reflect best practice as well as support workers to meet their workplace rights and responsibilities.
