Topic 1 - Should CERA be able to measure the impact of HR strategies? (Why or why
not?)
HR strategies are very important for any organisation to enhance their business effectively. The
CERA Company mainly used to provide innovative designing, consulting services and also
incorporated planning for the smart structures for their target large and medium based projects of
the civil constructions in Australia (Rahiman, et. al., 2018). The CERA Company should be
capable to effectively measure both the positive and negative impacts of the HR strategies
because it helps the CERA to know about their market value, profits, productivity as well as the
quality of the workforce in the competitive market. As being a director of the CERA Company, I
have huge responsibilities effectively manage and control all the civil construction projects so
that they can enhance their business and expand it in the wider area of Australia.
There is huge necessity to effectively measure the impact of human resource strategies so that
the CERA can grow and effectively develop their business. Human Resource strategies play an
essential role in making the CERA business successful within the competitive market. It helps in
enhancing the quality of the workforce by hiring effective and experienced employees (Yun, et.
al., 2016). Besides this, by providing the effective training and development programs for the
existing employees of the CERA company so that they can enhance their skills and knowledge
for attaining the main objective of the company and also dramatically enhancing their
performances.
So is the director of the company, there is also having the duty of understanding the factors of
the HR strategies where the company is lacking so that it can be improved by providing effective
training to all team members (Kim, 2016). The measurement of HR strategies can also help in
knowing the individual and organisation performance effectively.

Topic 2 – What approach to work design should CERA adopt?
With the huge experience in the civil construction, there are benefits of effective working on the
important projects like industrial, commercial and residential sector by playing the role of the
team leader or structure designer of the important project in the CERA Company. As being the
director of the CERA Company, I have been facing the problems in the working designing of the
company (Cera, et. al., 2018). So, there is need of adoption of the effective approaches for
enhancing the work designing so that the company can create an effective image and also
enhance their business by attracting the large civil construction projects in Australia. The
company has a need to adopt advanced technology and approaches for enhancing their
operational functioning as well as work designing their business environment.
There is having mainly four popular approaches of the work design which are used by the
companies for improving their business. It helps in outlining the overall responsibilities and tasks
about the specific work (Gürses & del Alamo, 2016). The company needs to adopt the diversity
management with the job characteristics approach within the business environment of the CERA
Company. Currently, the company is making use of the effective contact services and quality for
their target customers by using the marketing, technical and virtual technological skill in their
business.
The job characteristics approach helps in showing that there is having direct interrelation
between the rewards and job satisfaction. This approach will help in enhancing the team
member’s performances by providing those rewards for their appropriate effective working.
Through the adoption of this approach, the CERA can able to enhance their overall
organisational performances by making their employees committed to doing productive best
working performances in the business environment of the company.
This approach work design is also subdivided into five parts such as task identity, autonomy,
skill variety, feedback and also task significance (Chong, et. al., 2016). The skill variety helps in
making capable all the team members to create new skills by utilising their all skills in an
effective manner. The task identity helps in determining the time in which the specific task can
complete. The task significance helps in determining the importance and their impact of the job

about the existing team members. Feedback plays a very important role because it helps in
enhancing the business performances of the CERA Company.
