BSBHRM513 Manage Workforce Planning Student Assessment Tasks
QUESTION 1
Explain workforce planning.
It entails analysing the current workforce, determining future workforce needs, identifying the gap between the
present and the future, and implementing solutions to ensure that an organization's mission, goals, and strategic plan
are met.
QUESTION 2
Discuss two benefits of workforce planning.
The real benefit of workforce planning is in the accuracy. In any case, an accurate plan entails employing and
scheduling the "correct" number of personnel. Hiring too many people wastes money, whereas hiring too few people
hinders customer service. Nice employs cutting-edge artificial intelligence to assure forecast accuracy that is best in
class.
Workforce planning can help a company retain key personnel in addition to acquiring new employees. A thorough
examination of educational and market trends can aid in the identification of positions that would be difficult to fill if an
employee departed, resulting in a negative impact on the company's bottom line.
QUESTION 3
Outline two options for the scope of a workforce plan.
Strategic workforce planning considers concerns and tactics that affect the entire system, such as assist in the
implementation of the organization's strategic plan. Address external workforce issues that have an impact on the
entire company (e.g., succession planning for retirement bubbles, or staff reduction planning for budget cuts).
Operational workforce planning is done at the supervisory level and focuses on work-unit challenges. The focus is on
how to keep the work unit's ability to carry out business strategies intact. At this level of planning, you may be
responsible for carrying out the organization's strategic workforce planning strategies as well as responding to
external workforce issues that affect a specific unit.
QUESTION 4
Explain the workforce planning process, including an outline of each step.
1. Set strategic direction- This stage entails connecting the workforce planning process to the agency's strategic
plan, yearly performance/business plan, and work activities necessary to achieve the agency's goals and
objectives. Long-term strategic plan and performance plan (short term).
2. Analyse workforce, identify skill gaps, and conduct workforce analysis- Identifying present personnel resources
and how they will change over time because of turnover, etc. Creating specifications for the types, numbers, and
locations of workers and managers required to meet the agency's strategic objectives and identifying the gaps
between present and predicted workforce requirements.
3. Develop action plan- This process entails identifying strategies to close gaps, developing plans to implement the
strategies, and determining metrics to track strategic progress. Recruiting, training/retraining, reorganising
companies, contracting out, succession planning, technological advancements, and so on are examples of these
tactics.
4. Implement action plan-
5. This step entails ensuring that people and financial resources are available, that roles are defined, and that the
appropriate communication, marketing, and coordination are in place to carry out the plan and meet the strategic
objectives.
6. Monitor, evaluate, and revise- This step entails tracking progress against milestones, assessing for the purposes
of continuous improvement, and revising the plan to correct course and address new workforce challenges.

BSBHRM513 Manage Workforce Planning Student Assessment Tasks
QUESTION 5
Outline two forecasting models that can be used to assist with identifying future workforce needs.
Trend analysis involves studying historical organizational employment levels to predict future employment levels.
Using this strategy, a more accurate forecast might be made by evaluating trends in individual departments or other
organisational sub entities, then aggregating the increases (or, perhaps, declines) at the organisational level. This
gives you a better idea of not only how many staff you will need, but also what kind of people you'll require.
Ratio analysis is a forecasting method that implies a fixed relationship exists between two variables and that this
relationship allows for the prediction of labour requirements. An business could be able to anticipate total personnel
requirements based on predicted total sales or total productivity, assuming no changes in productivity.
QUESTION 6
Outline the purpose of the Labour Market Information Portal and two examples of information included in the Portal
that can assist with workforce planning.
The Labour Market Information Portal is an online tool that brings together data, reports, and insights to help you
better understand the labour market in your area. LMIP contains data that will help you gain a better understanding of
the jobs in demand in your area as well as local labour market conditions. Estimates of employment and
unemployment, labour force participation, employment and pay by industry and vocation, education and licencing
information, and predicted employment growth are all included in the data.
QUESTION 7
Discuss the purpose of the ABS Labour Force Survey and its use for workforce planning.
The ABS's Labour Force Survey data are an important source of labour market and other economic data. The main
goal is to make it easier to analyse and track social and economic elements of Australia's labour market and working-
age population.
QUESTION 8
Explain the purpose of the National Skill Needs List.
The Nationwide Skills Needs List (NSNL) recognises trades where a national skills shortage has been found. The list
is the result of extensive labour market research. The NSNL is used to establish whether or not a person is eligible
for a variety of Australian Apprenticeship incentives.

The organisation’s requirements for a skilled and diverse workforce as reflected in its strategic objectives.
It is illegal to discriminate against an employee on the basis of gender, sexual preference, gender identity,
age, religion, race, colour, family and caregiver responsibilities, pregnancy, breastfeeding, national origin,
social origin, political belief/activity, personal association, industrial activity, or physical features under this
legislation. In order to create innovative modern workplaces, it is critical to hire people from all backgrounds.
In addition, there are legal requirements for businesses under Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
legislation. The EEO concept states that all positions should be allocated only on the basis of merit, and that
this approach should be followed fairly in the workplace.
Workforce issues as identified in the Strategic Plan and that must be reflected in workforce objectives
The goal of strategic workforce planning is to constantly evaluate personnel and their performance,
preventing your company from being blindsided by your workforce's ever-changing needs. Designing a
procedure inside an organisation that proactively predicts current and future employment needs is the
foundation of strategic workforce planning. This will ensure that your company has the resources it needs to
achieve its objectives. Companies are able to hire the best personnel in the field and keep one step ahead
of your competition once it implemented a strategic workforce plan and successfully identified all current and
required workers.
Workforce objectives that are required to meet the overall strategic objectives.
Managers can use workforce planning objectives as a strategic foundation for making human resource
choices. It enables managers to anticipate change rather than being surprised by it, as well as provide
strategic approaches to current and future workforce concerns. The goal of workforce planning is to ensure
that the organisation has enough people with the skills, expertise, and experience needed to meet its
strategic goals efficiently and effectively in the medium and long term.
Workforce characteristics of King Edward VII College staff, including employment status, age, gender and
culture.
The CEO, a Marketing Manager and Marketing Assistant, Human Resources Manager, Finance Manager,
Administration Manager, Office Assistant, Receptionist, Academic Manager, Student Services Officer, and
roughly 14 trainers are among the College's 24 employees 7 out of 19 employees are permanent whereas
the rest are in contract. Most of the employee’s age are around their 40s and above which makes most of
the employees are older. 7 out of 19 employees are females, which also makes the company percentage of
males are higher than females.
The turnover rate is not acceptable as the turnover rate is over 50%. A high turnover rate indicates that a
significant number of your employees – more than is typical in your industry – have left the company over a
period of time. The definition of a high turnover rate varies depending on the industry. Expected turnover
rates fluctuate between industries and countries.
Factors affecting workforce supply including government policy and legislation, economic conditions,
industry trends, skills and labour shortages, unemployment rate and competition for workers. Your analysis
should be both general, as well as specific to the education sector within which King Edward VII College
operates.

Assume that it has been identified that the Human Resources Manager role is a critical position within the
College. This means that if this position is vacant, it would have a significant impact on the organisation. While it
has been identified that there is no shortage of Human Resources professionals, it is considered that the
specialised nature of human resources within the College means it would be preferable to develop the talent from
within.
Assume that a current employee, Jackie Smith, has been identified as an employee with potential for the role.
Jackie has recently returned to the workforce and is working in an administration role. However, prior to leaving
the workforce to bring up her children, Jackie was working in a human resources officer role. Jackie applied for
the administration position as she only wanted to work part-time. However, Jackie has indicated that she would
like to move back into a HR role and eventually back into full-time employment. It has been identified that Jackie
has the potential to perform well in this role in the future.
Jackie has recently completed a self-assessment against a role competencies statement in order to identify
areas that she would need to develop in.
Review the case studies above and Jackie's role competencies statement provided to you.
Your task is to develop a career development plan for Jackie using the career development plan template
provided to you.
The opportunities that you identify for Jackie should include a range of opportunities including job assignments
that develop a candidate’s competencies, coaching and mentoring and formal training. The career development
plan you develop should include at least six opportunities to be completed over the upcoming 12 months.

Scope
This policy applies to the college's academic and professional personnel whose employment terms and
conditions are governed by the Agreement. All employees affected by proposed policy changes, including casual
and sessional employees, would be consulted.
Key principles
When a job becomes redundant, it is because the employer no longer wants the work to be performed
by anyone.
This might happen when the job's responsibilities have altered to the point that the original role is no
longer functional.
It can also happen when an employer still requires the duties associated with a job to be performed, but
decides to redistribute those duties among other employees, resulting in the original role no longer
existing for all practical purposes, i.e. the employee in that role having no duties to discharge.
When an employee's employment is terminated solely because of a personal act or default by the
terminated employee, or for any reason unique to that employee, redundancy will not occur.
Redeployment Procedure
Step 1: Written notification regarding the redeployment process
If your position is expected to be made redundant and you choose to be considered for redeployment, you will be
notified in writing of the procedure. The dates of the intended redeployment period, as well as the name and
contact information for the placement coordinator, will be included in this notification.
in a position, the position will not be advertised for a fair period to allow for Step 4. If there is not a suitable
substitute position, the vacancy will be advertised. The Placement Coordinator will keep you informed about any
new openings.
3. Develop and implement strategies to ensure King Edward VII College is an employer of choice.
Assume that it has been determined by the data collected that King Edward VII College is not an employer of
choice, however the management team have determined that the workforce plan does contain some strategies
that make the College an employer of choice. You have been asked to research the trends of what makes an
employer of choice and to identify where the College could improve.
Research other companies to determine what strategies make an employer one of choice. Document your
findings in a brief report that also includes the strategies that have already been implemented (throughout the
assessment tasks for this unit of competency, for example, career development and promoting from within are
considered to be valued strategies for an employer of choice to offer) and a recommendation of other strategies
that could be implemented. Ensure you provide your valid sources of information.
Submit your report to the CEO (your assessor).
Dear Assessor,
