The Assessment Task

Human Resource Planning (HRP) can contribute to the future plans of an organisation with regards to their objectives and appropriate staff are selected for work which may be required at a specific time.

Before HRP takes place, a thorough analysis needs to be made so that the requirements of human resources are established and confirmed. As part of an organisation's strategic plan, human resources can be proactive by using workforce planning to structure what will be required for cost- effective and timely planned steps that will enhance the organisation's future ambitions.

Performance evaluations are an official interaction between managers and employees in which the manager assesses job performance and discusses in detail strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for development of the employee (Henderson, 2012). Ideally, management conducts appraisals in an "objective, consistent, and fair way" (Heijden, 2004).

As a Human Resources Director, you are to select one of the two companies below and respond to the following tasks in a simulation with three other human resource officers:

The group must use up to date and relevant HRM theories and models to support their arguments. Although students may refer to recent historical trends the key focus of this data must be from the period January 2023 to June 2023. It is highly recommended that students work on this debate in a group of 4.
