Answer to Question 1
Effect of changes in employment legislation of NZ on employee engagement
Changes in employment legislation have a great impact on employee engagement. For
example, minimum wage of an employee has been increased by legal system of NZ
(Hcamag.com, 2019). It may have a positive impact on employees of FIT Gym. Increase in
the salary is potent enough to motivate employees to be engaged with the business processes.
Strengthening of the rights of union and collective bargaining may increase the level of
involvement of employees in a business process of FIT Gym as they are being more secure
about getting their rights. However, Morgeson, Brannick & Levine (2017) have mentioned
that reinstatement of rest break and set meal may enhance employee engagement positively.
Impact of changes in employment legislation of NZ on organizational culture
Changes in employment legislation are considered while reframing the organizational culture.
Recently, five major changes have been done in the employment legislation of NZ
(Hcamag.com, 2019). The management of FIT Gym must comply with these changes. As
mentioned by Landau & Rohmert (2017), organizational culture must be improved for
increasing job satisfaction in employees. For example, good working culture may prevent
arguments between employees and the owner of FIT Gym. Increase in the salary structure
may help this organization to motivate employees in serving better to their clients.

workplace safety by managing different risks.
(ii) Provision of values to gym managers by HR manager
The HR manager needs to provide value to the gym managers by recognizing their hard work
through appraisal technique. For example, on provision of customer management report and
monthly performance report, HR managers need to provide an appraisal for good
performance (Mencl, Wefald & van Ittersum, 2016). This can boost their motivation level
and encourage them to perform better. Revising the compensation and benefit structures of
gym managers regularly can also help the HR manager to provide value to them in a proper
way.
Answer to Question 3

requirements on decision making by HR manager
