You are required to answer the questions given below. You may either use
the space being provided for your answers or attach separate answer

1. How would you ensure that your strategy meet

There are three steps that could be followed for the purpose of ensuring
that a strategy meets organizational, team and individual objectives.
The outcome has to be identified to be such as the departmental or
organizational goals, and aligns perfectly with them.
For the teams, a SMART objective has to be set, in which there would be
specific goals set for each team that would add up to be the
organizational goals. These goals have to be specific, measurable,
attainable, reliable and time bound.
An online tracking program also has to be implemented for the purpose
of making sure that employees’ performances and progresses are going
in the direction of the organizational objectives.

Assessment Task 3 BSBHRM604 Manage employee relations
Communicating employee relations strategy and expectations to the
Kingfisher employees could be done in the following ways:
An official mail: This official mail could be sent out to all of the relevant
employees separately, with their specific expectations.
Team briefings: A meeting could possibly take place with every team
separately, following up the official mail.
Handouts: Official handouts could be sent out to each of the employees
in hard copies, which could be pinned to their desks, if the employees
wish to.
3. List any four (4) tips for developing consultation methods
that encourage group feedback and participation?
Following are four of the most effective consultation methods that could
encourage group feedback and participation:
Skip level meetings: In this, managers and executives interview
employees two levels below them in the hierarchy, asking about their
feedback and reviews about their work experiences and expectations.
Conducting exit interviews also provide insights into employee
difficulties and expectations.
Stakeholder meetings must have a separate sessions for open ended
questions, in which every stakeholder pitches in their idea or feedback
regarding a particular aspect of the operations.
Workplace reviews could be done through surveying employees through
their official emails.
4. You are concerned about the risk of unfair dismissal. How
does your employee relations strategy address this risk?
Comment on any improvements you would make.

Assessment Task 3 BSBHRM604 Manage employee relations
The risk of unfair dismissal could be reduced by the following ways:
 Employees must be let to know about the job specifications that
are actually required for the job that they would be applying for,
along with all of the negatives associated with the job.
 A democratic leadership culture has to be implemented in the
workforce, in which, employees get a voice of their own in how
they wish to work.
A possible improvement recommendation would be to ensure that an
appropriate incentives structure is implemented for employees who
would be successfully completing their probation period.
5. An employee is underperforming. What alternatives could you
consider before terminating their employment?

employee:
 Asking for the employee’s difficulties, and informing the
immediate boss/leader of the employee to ease those difficulties.
 Demonstrate the best way to get a particular work done, by taking
a long session.
 Possibly training the employee to acquire some required skills.
6. Does your strategy take into account specialist assistance or
help that might be required for employees? If not, outline the
type of assistance that might be required in different
circumstances
The types of specialist assistance that might be required for employee
relations to thrive under different circumstances, include the following:
 Employee motivation specialist (For any employee feeling
unmotivated or uninspired at work).
 Employee skills and special skills assistance specialist (For any
employee seeking minor help on skill development at work).
