Manage Workforce Planning
- (BSBHRM504A)
Effective workforce planning ensures that the organisation has the right people in the right jobs at the right time. Taking as it's starting point the organisation's goals and people strategies, managers must create action plans that match people with jobs in terms of the number and type of positions to be filled and the abilities, knowledge, skills and qualifications of the people who may fill them. Workforce planning links to other HR processes such as job analysis and design, recruitment and selection, performance management, training and development, and employee relations strategies.
Ensure Team Effectiveness
(BSBWOR502A)
Virtually all employees are members of workplace teams. Even senior executives will be members of top management teams or boards of directors. Having both the ability to serve as an effective team member and the leadership skills required to form, develop and nurture organisational teams are among the most important skills for any manager. In this unit, learners will have the opportunity to lead their own team in a workplace task or, if not currently in the workplace, in a team-based task within their local community.
Manage Programs that Promote Personal Effectiveness
(BSBLED502A)
The best employers focus on the health and wellbeing of their people. They understand that a healthy, satisfied workforce is critical to achieving the organisation’s goals. They gather the right information to guide the creation and implementation of strategies for employee wellbeing. Such strategies may include healthy food offerings, fitness and physical training programs and facilities, and attention to the costs of workplace stress. In this unit, learners are encouraged to understand the potential benefits of such programs and, more importantly, learn how to implement them appropriately and effectively.
Manage Industrial Relations
(BSBWRK509A)
Whether an organisation is unionised or not, its operations will be subject to many aspects of the Australian industrial relations system. Collective groups such as industry associations, employer groups and unions have an influence on how work is performed, to an understanding of these influences and influencers is essential. In additional, all workplaces are subject to state and federal legislation, whether in the form of overarching laws such as the Fair Work Act (2009) or the system of regulations that governs areas such as discrimination and OHS.
Promote Innovation in a Team Environment
(BSBINN301A)
Innovation and creativity are at the heart of sustainable organisations. They are the source of competitive advantage and enable both organisations and their people to grow, evolve, and respond to new challenges. In this unit, learners will be exposed to contemporary models of creativity and innovation, given examples of applied innovation in Australian organisations, and encouraged to develop the critical skills and competencies required if they are to contribute proactively and effectively to their organisations.
