4.Prepare an employee relations strategy presentation

Before you can finalise the new employee relations strategy and the draft policies and procedures, you are required to conduct extensive consultation with the staff.

This consultation will be in two parts: a presentation to the staff who are able to attend, and a written submission to those staff who are not.

Using PowerPoint (or another presentation program, develop a presentation that will last for about 20 minutes.

The presentation should include a summary of the Strategic Plan's objectives and how they relate to the Employee Relations Strategy.

The Employee Relations Strategy itself should be summarised, as should the Policies and Procedures that you are developing.

Ensure that you ask the audience for their feedback and include this in the revised versions of these documents.

Your presentation should include graphics and images wherever appropriate to hold the interest of the audience.

Save this file as Employee Relations Strategy Presentation.
