HUMAN RESOURCE MNAGEMENT
Introduction:
The overarching concept of human resource strategic plan implies the activities that HR
managers conduct in order to meet organizational goals and objectives. The primary strategic
plan the human resources managers have to take is related to performance tracking of employees.
The primary strategic direction and objective of a human resource managers are to direct the
employees towards right path so that they can meet organizational goals (Bailey et al. 2018).
Strategic planning is a long-term goal which is amended as per different business situations
demand.
In order to identify emerging practices and trends of human resource management an
effective environmental analysis of Australia is conducted. As per political and legal factors
associated with the soil of Australia, the government has maintained a stable and flexible
political set up where taxation policies are very much transparent. Human resources managers
while recruiting employees do not have to be influenced at the decision of Australian political
parties (Jackson, Schuler & Jiang, 2014). Regulations related to recruitment and sustainable
policies are very much transparent and strictly maintained. As a result, new applicant does not
have to face challenges in showing their skills and competencies. Like the same way, Australia is
out an out economically developed country having possessed with advanced technology. In such
a country like Australia the human resource managers do not have to face challenges in finding
out those employees who are technologically well advanced (Buller & McEvoy, 2012). It leaves
a major positive impact on the overall success of business.

Task 1: HR Implementation Plan
Monitor and review planning:
Implementation of strategic planning is not the only method that human resource
managers have to follow. In order to evaluate the success of strategic planning the human
resource managers have to monitor and review the plan from different perspectives. Review
should be gathered from the perspective of employees in order to know their point of view
(Cooke, Saini & Wang, 2014). If the review comes as negative, the HR department has to change
the plan immediately. The performance of an organization is entirely dependent on the
satisfaction rate of the employees (Kramar, 2014). However, review is collected from
management level as well whether they are flexible with implemented strategic planning or not.

Task 3: Risk analysis
In order to implement a specific business strategy and policy the organization has to face
innumerable challenges and uncertainties. Before analyzing the risk factors the study has
evaluated effective human resource management plans. In order to implement these plans the
business experts have to face immense barriers and risk factors. However, the risks impacting on
organizational performances are as follows:
 Providing flexible work environment, rewards, recognitions, and agile workspace to the
employees
 Providing effective training and development session for improving performance level of the
employees
 Maintaining systematic and authentic recruitment and selection procedure for hiring skilful
and competent employees
 Implementing fair and transparent legal procedures at the workplace for maintaining
organizational discipline
In order to obtain senior management support the human resource managers after making
strategic planning session tends to make in-depth discussion with the senior managers Paillé et
al. 2014). They have to know whether they support the plan or not and what the expected
outcome of this plan.
Overall clips about risk analysis:
 The plan may not be successful in drawing employees’ attention
 Employees may misuse flexible work environment which may reflect on their profitability

HUMAN RESOURCE MNAGEMENT
 Employees may not get motivation in the reward and recognition policy that is arranged by
the human resource department
However, in order to overcome these risk factors the human resource managers would
have to implement alternative plans and policies that can support in managing the risk factor.
On the other hand, the overall risk analysis is constituted with two major ways:
Internal risk factors:
Maintaining organizational structure is a basic need that every human resource has to
follow. The HR managers have to maintain appropriate hierarchy by recruiting managers in
every department. However, if the organization does not have proper structure the entire
operation process has to face major risks (Wolf & Floyd, 2017). The human resource managers
have to follow organizational policies such as employability act, data protection act, anti-
discrimination act and so on. Due to the lack of maintaining these Politics the organization may
have to face challenges in running their business effectively. If the human resource managers are
not competent enough to management entire recruitment and selection policy effectively the
organization face risk in maintaining risk (Storey, 2014) Therefore mismanagement has become
a major issue in the overall business scenario. Due to the lack of proper resource and innovation
the organization has to face risk factors.
External risk analysis:
Economy is a major challenge and risk factor due to which business organizations fail to
maintain its sustainability (Flamholtz, 2012). If the organization faces challenges in gaining
effective organizational profitability the human resource managers have to face challenges in

economy. Instable Political set-up and lack of implementing legal factor is a major challenge.
Socio-cultural risk arsis when the employees fail to communicate with each other due to the
cultural barrier (Johnston & Bate, 2013). If the employees fail to use technology properly, it may
be a major risk for them to deliver effective services.
Task 4: Contingency Planning
List the contingencies:
 Online recruitment
 Friend to friend recruitment which is otherwise named as internal drive
Contingency planning:
The primary purpose of contingency planning is as follows:
 Enhancing performance level of the employees by providing effective training and
development session
 Maintaining systematic and authentic recruitment and selection procedure for hiring skilful
and competent employees
 Implementing fair and transparent legal procedures at the workplace for maintaining
organizational discipline
After prioritizing on the purpose of contingency planning the human resource managers
have implemented some of the major plans.
 Increase the department by hiring more workforce
 Hire more employees for providing effective support
 Attend training for enhancing personal and professional skill

Conclusion:
As per the organizations established in Australia, the human resource managers are
facing same difficulty in dealing with the employees. HR managers are unable to locate the
future needs of employees. As a result, employees are getting de-motivated in performing well
towards the services (Brewster, 2017). However, while analyzing the future needs of the
employees it is identified that flexible work environment, rewards, recognitions, and agile
workspace are the primary needs of employees working in Australian organizations. As per skill
requirements, the employees need to have more technological skills in controlling entire
operation process more efficiently. As a source of labour supply, various online job portals are
the best choices to find out skilful and competent employees.
New technology has immense positive impact on job roles and job designs. With the help
of emerging technology, the human resource managers are very much comfortable in designing
new job roles with particular specifications (Kaufman, 2012). New technology is simultaneously
giving innovative job rolec1. For an example, the role of an efficient data entry executive is to
maintain internal data of organization (Cassidy, 2016). This particular job role is created after the
emergence of new technology. As a result, the organization is successfully able to maintain
record of accomplishment of organizational profitability. As a result, the entire process of
operation is under control and the human resource managers get the scope of keeping appropriate
data record about entire business process. Based on the job roles the HR managers intend to
design job responsibilities and their recruitment and selection criteria in accordingly.
