You are the HR Manager of a medium sized engineering company with around 250
employees, and a staff of 5 in your HR group, excluding payroll staff. The company has
recently released its 5 year strategic plan which contains an ambitious development plan to
grow the business significantly. One of your responsibilities is to ensure that departmental
managers have:
a) the policies and procedures in place to manage this expansion. Will current
recruitment methods and practices be able to meet future needs?
b) the capabilities to determine future staffing needs and identify the new technology
skills that might be required of future employees. What research may be required
to better understand the job market? Do our current workforce development
policies and practices allow for internal staff to be skilled up to fill more senior roles
as the company expands?
c) a set of position descriptions and specifications that reflect the current and future
workforce’s responsibilities and skill sets. Do the current ones reflect current job
roles and are they sufficient to cover future hiring needs?
d) A program in place to provide access to training and development of existing staff
likely to be involved in staff recruitment, selection and induction process. Does the
organisation have the resources and skill sets to ensure we recruit the best people
for the new positions opening up?
e) Induction processes in place to ensure that new hires become productive and
motivated employees quickly. Do our induction processes need to be updated to
reflect the company’s new strategic plan and short and long term objectives?

MANAGEMENT
The CEO has directed you to set up an Interdepartmental Working Group to ensure that
all departments have a plan to examine these issues and work with your HR department to
ensure that they are in good shape to manage the company’s expansion. He has set a 6
month timeframe for this project and provided a substantial budget to ensure it is properly
resourced and has requested regular progress updates. Your first job is to organise the
first meeting of the working group. The company has 5 major departments; Corporate
Head Office (includes IT and HR); Finance and Procurement; Sales and Marketing;
Engineering Operations; Project Management Office. These departments are currently in
the process of developing their own business plans to align with the new strategic plan.
They recognise that the HR department will be a key resource in assisting them in
developing their performance objectives and preparing for the organisation’s growth, and
that this Working Group is an important initiative in this process.
You have prepared and sent out a briefing paper to Department Heads outlining the
purpose of the working group and inviting them to nominate 2 key staff to represent them
on the working group. The briefing paper outlines the information that each department
will need to review in order to prepare for the meeting at which each department will be
required to prepare a brief presentation on their current situation with regards to points
a)-e) above and the challenges that they face in preparing for the growth of the company.
At the meeting, you will also want to initiate discussion around any sub working groups
that might be required, and establish action plans and timeframes for ensuring points a)-e)
above are implemented.
TASK 1a
Your first task is to decide on a meeting date and venue, set a timeframe and identify what
resources and administrative support will be required. You are aware that this Working
Group is a key strategic component in the company’s development plans and the CEO will be
closely following its progress. You are concerned that first meeting will be a long one and
know that meetings longer than 2 hours can be problematic in terms of retaining peoples
focus and attention. You need to decide how you are going to address this. You also recognise
that there will be a lot of issues arising from the departmental presentations that need to be
recorded for discussion either later in the meeting or at subsequent meetings so that accurate
minute recording is crucial
Write a 200-300 word report on how you will address these issues in setting up the meeting
and ensuring it is adequately resourced and recorded.
Task 1a (Report)
Introduction
The following report is based on the study of the presentation of the effective meeting
minutes and the process to conduct a great meeting within a short period of time. The capability
of the HR manager to answer the issues of the organizations to all the related departments and
stakeholders in a short yet highly successful form is one of the major reasons of success.
