Carefully read the following:
Boutique Build Australia was established in 2013. It is a boutique building company based in
Sydney that specialises in the design and build of high‐quality designer homes for the Sydney
metropolitan and surrounding areas.
A Strategic Plan has been developed for the company by an external consultant with input from
the CEO and senior management. The rationale for the Strategic Plan is to set the direction for
the company over the next three years, establish strategic priorities and to describe how these
will be achieved and the measures (operational priorities) to achieve them.
A first important stage of implementing the Strategic Plan is to meet with the Senior
Management team to plan the operational activities to be implemented to achieve the
organisation’s objectives. The preliminary meeting will focus on the objectives for the upcoming
year being the expansion of the company into Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast markets as
described in the Strategic Plan and to discuss and allocate roles and responsibilities in relation to
the expansion.
The Senior Managers who will attend the meeting will be:
Operations Manager (You) – You have been with the company since its inception. You
were a former builder and therefore have an excellent understanding of the industry.
Your main role is to manage the day to day activities for the business, including setting
and reviewing budgets and overseeing procurement.
Marketing Manager (Jane Smith) ‐ Jane has recently joined the company. She is
responsible for all aspects of marketing, including marketing planning and marketing
implementation. Jane’s strengths are in digital marketing.
Human Resources Manager (Deborah Terns) ‐ Deborah has been with the company for 2
years. She has worked in human resources for 10 years and her previous position was also
with a construction company and she therefore has an excellent knowledge of the
industry.
Customer Service Manager (Amar Singh) ‐ Amar has recently joined the company to
manage the increasing number of sales staff. Amar previously worked with a construction
company who expanded into other states and therefore has strengths in understanding
how this process works.

implementing or otherwise should clearly show how decisions have been made based
on the risk factors identified in the Strategic Plan.
Carefully read the following:
Assume that it is six months later and the expansion into Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast has
proved to be highly successful. However, issues are arising with workplace fatigue and business
travel.
At a staff meeting, it was identified that some of the staff are working very long hours during the
week and are also working at weekends.
Staff are complaining of stress and fatigue. The long hours are as a result of the numerous
projects that the company currently has. Many staff are also travelling extensively because of the
interstate expansion.
The company’s safe working guidelines are as follow:
No one should work more than 8 hours in a day.
There should be at least 10 hours’ continuous break per 24‐hour period.
A lunch break of at least 30 minutes should be taken during the working day.
Individuals should be aware of the hours worked and ensure they are aware of the risks.
Staff time sheets for September show the following:
Human Resources Manager: shows 180 hours worked over a 4‐week period (M to F).
Break of at least 30 minutes taken each day.
Marketing Manager: shows 190 hours worked over a 4‐week period. Shows no lunch
breaks taken.
Customer Service Manager: 152 hours plus lunch breaks of 30 minutes taken.
Also it has come to your attention recently that several staff members who travel regularly from
Sydney to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast as part of their role have been accruing frequent flyer
points from business travel and using these points for their own personal travel.
4. Investigate workplace issues
Your CEO has asked you to investigate these issues.
