INTRODUCTION
Human resource management is strategic approach which helps the entity to
work effectively and efficiently as well as help business to reach at the new heights
of growth. This helps the organisation to gain competitive advantage from others.
HR department focuses on making the policies for managing people. This
department makes sure that company must achieve the goal of the entity via labour
working there. In this scenario, Oxfam is taken. This report will study two
management issues which are solved by the human resource department. It will
study the functional HR department which is successfully implemented in the HR
planning process and issues which are prevailing in Oxfam. It will study about the
employee’s well-being issues in the Oxfam which could be developed in
performance. This will discuss about the two legislations as well that are currently
prevailing in the entity. This report also cover implementation of HR planning
process which help in resolving issues of internal staff problems.
TASK 1
Discussing the two management issues of and which are solved by the HR
department of Oxfam
In Oxfam, two of the issues are prevailing which are necessary to solve
them. Issue is one of the workers is sexually assaulted by the female co-worker and
after that she was dismissed by the Oxfam. In October, this company has dismissed
staff of 22 people on charges of the sexually abuse on these persons last year. This
serious issue was handled by the HR department in delicate way. They have taken
the appropriate decisions by forcing her to resign. This was an example for other
employees that strict action is taken by the department if anybody has done this
type of disciplinary action (Madera and et.al., 2017).

This incident was happened at that time when she was a gender protection
coordinator. She doesn't want to open the case against her. She also doesn't want to
go through the Oxfam's reporting system. She feels that no one will support her
and nor the investigation of the people. At that time HR department has found the
solution and of 'Restorative Justice'. This is the way through person can fight back
for the gender biased. This is approach which help in reacting on crime. If any of
the thing happens like this in that case employer has the duty to give justice to that
worker. Individual must do: handbook is provided to the staff in which rules
related to the harassment and many more are written. This will help in
understanding the employees that decent behaviour is needed in the organisation.
Provide training for developing the awareness among the people. One more issue is
there which is the not paying the wages to the employee on the fairly basis. It will
be difficult for the employee to the work in that environment. This gender
inequality among workers is very discouraging for the workers (Noelke, 2015).
HR department has implemented this policy for the employee for giving the
wages to them. This will give satisfaction to the people working out there and by
implementing the law of equality will help people in the gaining the advantage to
the employee and employer. If employer will take care of the equal pay or any of
the indiscrimination with employee which will satisfy workers and feel safe there.
Department is handling the situation very clearly with and helping the entity to
reduce turnover of the employees. In these circumstances' department has to do the
work of gender equality and give the pay according to their performance which
they have performed. This will help in creating the good image in front of the
people. In this one way which entity is doing its business in succesful way but
there are issues which are prevailing in Oxfam. In this one issue is to sexual ass
assault by female worker in entity. This is effecting its image of entity so resultant
is that guilty person is suspended from entity. From this decision is employees
