1. Task 1
Biz-Ops is an enterprise in Australia that is currently facing an issue with respect to
human resource. There are employee related problems that the business faces with most people
on its work-force not being familiar with the rules, the regulations and the duties that they need
to perform and adhere to in order to be able to meet the goals and objectives of the business
organization (based on the given scenario). This task outlines the key objectives and aspects of
the new recruitment and induction policy of Biz-Ops that will help it to recruit the right
employees into the organization.
To begin with the recruitment policy of the organization will aim at paying close scrutiny
and analysis to work experience of employees in the place of academic credentials only. While it
is expected that those who are employed to work for the organization hold at least a degree or a
diploma in a specific subject, a greater degree of emphasis will laid upon the type of work
experience that the employees of the organization are seen to have as this is going to go a long
way in getting such employees to remain with the organization (Abzug 2017). Employees who
are experienced, and who are familiar with working in a business environment already,
especially the type of workplace environment that Biz-Ops has to offer at its various stores and
warehouses, are likely to adjust to such an environment far more easily than employees who
have the skills and the credentials on paper to perform their job roles well enough but who lack
the experience and the exposure that it takes to handle the challenges that come with working in
a specific business environment (Brown et al. 2019).

3BUSINESS DIPLOMA
The goals and objectives of Biz-Ops will be stated and reiterated by the business HR
manager right at the time of recruitment so that employees are in the clear about what it is that
they are supposed to achieve and what they have to work towards for the length of time that they
are on the payroll of this business organization. Biz-Ops will also play a crucial role in getting its
HR managers to familiarize themselves with key goals and objectives of the business
organization, so that they are able to focus on the right skills, qualities and attributes at the time
of hiring employees to work for the long term at the business organization. At the time that the
recruitment and selection of candidates takes place, the candidates of Biz-Ops will be told in no
uncertain terms, the type of work standards that they are expected to achieve, the type of
decorum that they are expected to exhibit at the workplace and the sort of commitment that they
must demonstrate in order to be perceived in a favorable light by the higher management of the
business organization. Once employees are informed about this, it will enable them to better and
more appropriately to meet the goals and objectives of the business organization (Dany and
Torchy 2017).
A third important objective that the new recruitment policy of the business enterprise is
going to be characterized by is the fact that it is going to hire people who are able to demonstrate
at the time of giving or appearing for the interview, a commitment to their business goals and
objectives. By witnessing this commitment on the part of the newly joining employees the
organization will be able to arrive at an understanding of whether or not such employees are
likely to serve them for the short or the long term. They will gain a fair idea right at the outset, of
the type of expectations that they can have from their employees. For this purpose, candidates
will be grilled on commitment values and ideals and they will be asked what it is that motivates
to work for the type of business organization that Biz-Ops is all about. The answers that are

4BUSINESS DIPLOMA
provided by the candidates in this context will inform the HR managers about whether or not
these are candidates who are worth selecting into the ranks of the organization or whether their
application should be dispensed with because of their lack of commitment goals and ideals.
Induction needs to be paid careful attention to by the HR managers of Biz-Ops. A
separate day must be devoted to induction whereby the new joinees at the organization will be
briefed on what working for this organization is going to be all about, what they are expected to
achieve, what they are not expected to do and the type of incentives and rewards that they can
aim for in order to be able to be suitably recognized and appreciated by the upper echelons of
this business organization.
The final criteria that is going to be paid attention to at the time of recruiting suitable
employees into the ranks of the organization is to ensure that employees have the physical fitness
that is necessary to do the work of the organization over the long term. For this purpose the HR
managers and recruiters are going to have to ask employees to provide evidence of physical
fitness at the time of applying for a job at the organization and in the event that they are not able
to they will be barred from joining the ranks of the organization. Additionally, this is an
organization that is also going to have to pay at attention to WHS standards and ideals at the time
of recruiting employees into the organization so that the employees of the organization have a
safe and secure place in which to do their work. By looking into this particular matter, the
organization is going to be able to do a thorough job of hiring employees who are not only fit
and who have the capacity of doing their job well but who also are able to appreciate in turn the
efforts of the organization to keep them safe and well protected from hazards of any kind
(Furnham 2017).

2. Task 2
In order to ensure that the HR recruitment and selection policy at Biz-Ops is one that
meets the latest standards and criteria as established by the Australian government, care will be
taken to ensure that the workplace environment is made as safe and secure as possible and
special care will be taken to ensure that the workers of the organization are kept safe from
gaining access to toxic substances and materials. Every care will be taken on the part of the
management at Biz-Ops to provide employees with the type of security and safety standards that
are necessary to keep them secure for the length of time that they work for the organization
(Goldstein et al. 2017).
The induction process that is adopted by the business organization is also one that is
going to be revised in keeping with the latest guidelines and standards in this respect. The
induction process is one that is going to be conducted for an entire day. A whole business day
will be taken to brief the new recruits at this organization about the type of work standards that
they are expected to bring to the table for the period of time that they work for this organization.
They will be informed once again about the goals and objectives of the business organization,
they are also going to be informed during the induction about the protocols that they are expected
to adhere to at the time of working for the organization, so that they are able to do justice to their
job roles (Goldstein et al. 2017). The induction process is one that is going to be undertaken by
the HR managers of the organization along with the HR executives and it will be held by first
conducting a power point presentation that briefs the employees of the organization about the
various types of jobs and roles that are available for them to aspire for in the organization, the
type of money and incentives that they can make when they work for the organization and the
type of rewards and recognition that they can expect to achieve while working for the

6BUSINESS DIPLOMA
organization. Every effort will be made by the HR managers to be as clear and as precise with
the employees of the organization at the time of induction so that they have a full and fair idea of
whatever it is that is expected of them when they join and work for the organization (Herschberg
et al. 2018).
The induction process is one where legal duties and obligations will also be made known
to the new recruits and they will be made to sign a number of papers and documents whereby
they state that they are familiar with what is expected of them for as long as they work for the
organization and that they are also familiar with the type of punitive action that can be taken
against them if they were to suddenly leave the organization and go somewhere else or if they
were found not to be living up to the goals, objectives and standards of the organization (Holm
and Haahr 2018).
There are a number of special criteria and aspects that are going to be paid attention to at
the time of recruiting new candidates into the organization, apart from induction. First of all, the
manner by which applications are advertised by the organization is now going to take a different
form so as to be able to attract a greater number of recruits at a given time (Hunter et al. 2017).
Efforts will be made by the HR managers of the organization to hire employees through not only
advertisements that are published in the newspapers or which are made known in classified
sections of e-papers but which are advertised on the website of the company as well as through
social media channels such as Facebook and Instagram. Social media is seen to allow for the
widespread dissemination of knowledge in a quick and easy manner and by using social media to
advertise job positions that are newly being offered at Biz-Ops, the organization is going to be
able to go a long way in reaching out to a wider number of recruits than usual, at that too in a
very short span of time than a long time (Jeske and Schultz 2016). The HR managers are also

7BUSINESS DIPLOMA
going to form an elaborate team to handle the recruitment and selection process and efforts are
going to be made particularly to check the references of employees at the time of their
application in order to ensure in no uncertain terms that the people who have applied to work at
the organization are worthy of serving the organization over the long term. Checking references
is an important way by which the organization can make sure of the fact that it is reliable and
trustworthy people who are being recruited into the ranks of the organization (Jeske and Schultz
2016). Finally, an important criteria needs to be met by the HR managers of the organization
when updating its recruitment and selection policy and that is to pay attention to whether or not
people are being recruited from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds into the ranks of the
organization. Special attempts have to be made by this organization to disregard gender at the
time of recruitment so that members of the Third Gender also get the scope or the opportunity to
serve Biz-Ops in some capacity or the other, rather than being rejected from working for the
organization. By paying attention to the matter of gender as also to the matter of ethnic and
religious diversity, an organization like Biz-Ops is going to be able to go a long way in ranking
as a progressive organization. This is a business that people are going to want to come and work
for and it is going to receive several job applications for the various posts that it is seen to
advertise, whether be it in the news, on the website of the company, in the social media or
elsewhere, and consequently it can select employees from a large pool of talent across Australia
(Mugge 2016).
An aspect of the recruitment and selection policy that the organization really has to pay
attention to is the matter of probation. Employees who are freshly recruited into the four walls of
the organization must be kept on probation for a period of three to six months (Ployhart et al.
2017). During this time, the employees will be offered a fixed number of leaves and a fixed

8BUSINESS DIPLOMA
salary, and it is only after they have crossed the probationary period, that an attempt will be
made to revise the salary and the leave policy of the employees. Employees who manage to cross
the probationary period with success will be regarded and treated as confirmed employees of the
organization. They will be expected to work for the organization over a long period of time,
since they have succeeded in passing or qualifying the probation that they were subjected to. The
probationary period is in fact the time when the skills and the abilities of the employees will be
tested (Rudolph et al. 2017). This is the time when efforts will be made on the part of the higher
management at Biz-Ops to see whether the newly recruited candidates are people who are well
suited for the performance of their various job roles or whether not they let to be let go from the
organization at this stage so that they do not lead the organization incur liabilities or problems
because of their failure to perform, later on (Sarma 2017).

4. Task 4
One of the biggest issues associated with the recruitment and selection process that is
currently being practiced at an organization known as Biz-Ops is the fact that the HR managers
and the recruits over here are not seen to pay enough attention to the process or medium through
which the recruitment is actually seen to take place (Valenzuela 2019). At present
www.seek.com.au is the only site through which recruitment activities are undertaken, and this is
something that is putting the organization in a position to only reach out to a select number of
and category of candidates at a given time. The company has to sign up with other recruitment
agencies in the country of Australia when advertising its job positions so as to be able to reach

10BUSINESS DIPLOMA
out to a wider pool of talent (Valenzuela 2019). As mentioned above, the new recruitment and
selection policy of the company will require it to advertise in the traditional media like
newspapers while also making use of social media platforms for the same. Since people use
social media far more than they use the more conventional forms of media, it is a lot likely that
they will come across job roles and advertisements place here more easily than they would in a
newspaper or in a magazine (Ployhart et al. 2017). Job sites that the company uses in order to
hire employees into the various ranks of its organization should be increased in number so that
the organization has a greater number of people applying to it at a given time. If the company is
to be able to choose from a wider source of manpower or human resource, it has to advertise job
positions in its organization in a variety of social media platforms and it is only after that, that
they can expect to get some desirable employees to work for the organization (Rudolph et al.
2017).
Careful attention has to be paid on the part of the HR managers when advertising job
positions in the organization and the wording that is used in this respect must be chosen with
care. Those who are applying for posts at the various stores and the warehouses of Biz-Ops are
people who should have a fair idea of exactly the type of job role that they are applying for at the
time of the application itself so that their time and the time of the HR managers is not wasted
when they come for the interview (Holm and Haahr 2018). The advertisements should contain a
brief and accurate description of the type of job roles that employees are expected to perform
when they work for the organization and some indication is also going to have to be provided in
this respect, about the amount of remuneration that they can expect when performing such a job
role. By being clear and concise in the area of advertising and by advertising through more than

11BUSINESS DIPLOMA
one job site or platform, Biz-Ops is going to be able to do a far better job of hiring the right
candidates for its job positions than it has been able to until date.
The scenario that has been provided for analysis also indicates that the employees of the
organization do not complete the induction process. In fact the fact that they don’t is one of the
main reasons why they are not able to understand what is expected from them at the workplace.
They have a vague idea about their job roles and they begin to do their work in quite a random
and transparent manner, as a result of which they are later on either terminated from their job
roles or they resign on their own. Either way this is not a situation that is likely to benefit the
organization in any given way. The organization needs to avert the problem of an employee
turnover and for this purpose, the organization is going to have to play a key role of ensuring the
induction process is properly completed over a span of one business day. By conducting the
entire induction process over a day, the organization is going to be able to ensure that the new
recruits are well aware of their duties and responsibilities, they are well aware of what it is that
the organization has to offer them in terms of rewards, incentives and recognition and they know
what is expected from them in terms of rules and regulations, so that they are not in the dark
about this later on. Holding the induction process over a whole day will definitely help the
organization to do a better job with its recruitment and selection policy.
