You report should be approximately one page long and written in clear and
concise English. Make sure you match the style of your writing to suit the
audience.
Work life balance report-
It is found that there has been good status when it comes to work life balance. The organization
was having great ability to generate satisfaction. The organizational policies were supportive to
the employees so can offer them better life status. Along with working hours they are allowed to
take their leisure time, on the other hand, they have made good holiday arrangements. There
were some issues such as over time, leave issues etc.
Action Plan-
Over time- For this issue there is need to make some actions such as offering leave calendar
which offers flexibility so the people doing overwork may take relief.
Leave issues- There must be online arrangements so may make this system more flexible.
10. Update Health and Safety Policy and Procedures.
i Assume that the Health and Safety Officer of your business has emailed
you to support your proposed actions for Work/Life Balance actions.
They advise that a further improvement would be to ensure that the
actions are formalised in the business’s Health and Safety Policy and
Procedure. This should be a policy statement about the organisation’s
commitment to Work/Life Balance.
Review the Health and Safety Policy and Procedures and update it as
recommended by the Health and Safety Officer. The update will be a
short statement about the organisation’s commitment.
i Highlight any changes you make to the Health and Safety Policy.
Assume that more time has passed and the work-life balance
policies and procedures have been implemented (for the cases
study, this is 12 months).
Policy statement-
These are the changes which are to be imparted-
The health and safety constitution of the organization would be made.
It would be utterly separate.
The monthly audit would be carried out.
The reviews of employees would be taken.

On annual basis a final report would be prepared so can guide betterment changes.
11. Evaluate the performance of the Strategic Workforce Plan.
i Assume that one of the initiatives implemented was “working
from home arrangements for some staff members”.
Develop a short evaluation report (to top management such as the CEO)
summarising the impact of the working from home arrangements and
performance against objectives from the Strategic Workforce plan.
i The report should be in your own words (half a page to one page long).
You report should be written in clear and concise English. Make sure
you match the style of your writing to suit the audience.
Evaluation report-
It was found that the made change which was “Working from home” affected
productivity and performance of employees in better way.
Now they are ready to even work more than official hours in emergency. At the
same time, they are having good experience in term of managing their work
life balance. On the other hand, now their overall working days are also
escalated. They personally feel that with the help of the change now the
employee turnover is also coming down with sharp rate.
12. Update your Strategic Workforce Plan.
Include additional actions in your Strategic Workforce Plan based on the
scenario information and assumptions made during this section.
