PowerPoint Presentation Guidance for ASSESSMENT 1 Critical Analysis and Newspaper Article MNG93215 Human Resource Management (Online) Study Period 5 2019 Unit Assessor: Silvia Nelson Assignment 2: Critical analysis and newspaper article Group/ IndividualTasksWeightingLength Week/ Due IndividualTask 1: Critical analysis Task 2: Newspaper article 10% 20%150-200 words 430 wordsWeek 3, Monday, 16th Sept, 5pm OVERVIEW Task 1 requires you to critically analyse the newspaper article included on the Blackboard (Assessment Tasks and Submission). This task will help you understand how a newspaper article should be written, including the vital issues of relevance and language. Task 2 requires you to write a short newspaper article describing a contemporary Human Resource Management (HRM) issue, in which you tease out the HRM implications for relevant organisations. The best articles may be published in the Gold Coast Bulletin and provide exposure to a general readership. This is therefore a very practical experience. This assignment requires you to complete two tasks. These tasks are aligned to the Learning Outcomes 1 and 4. TASK 1: Critical Analysis Critically analyse the newspaper article included on the Blackboard (Assessment Tasks and Submission). In your analysis, you should address the relevance and importance of the issues for the future practice of HRM. Word count: 150-200 words, +/- 10%. References are not required for this task.

TASK 2: newspaper article Write a short newspaper article describing a contemporary Human Resource Management (HRM) issue in which you tease out the HRM implications for relevant organisations. You can use any HRM issues covered in all topics in this unit or other HRM relevant issues. It is not an academic article; it is informal and no references are required. So, part of your challenge is to convey concepts and practices in an easily absorbed style. The word limit provides a discipline for your writing that you will find challenging but very useful for your own career. Keep your article between 430-450 words (maximum).

BUSINESS INSIGHT AARON TAYLOR S O U T H E R N C R O S S U N I V E R S I T Y P O S T G R A D U A T E S T U D E N T Money doesn’t solve everything for most workers IT is a widely held assumption among business managers that pay rises are the best incentive for employees to take on more work. Historically, this makes sense given the value placed on output in industrial work- places. In a modern pro- fessional world, ask almost anyone if they will take on more work for more pay and most will likely say they would struggle to fit more into their day. While a worker would hard- ly ever reject a pay rise, the amount of work they do is probably already incommen- surate with their salary. Work- ers would often prefer to have their workload eased because it would show management re- specting the work already being done instead of throwing money at a problem that adds to worker stress and burnout. In the past two decades, the nature of the workforce has evolved rapidly from product- oriented to more technological and digital-oriented. This means workers are less able to “show” the output of their work because the inte- gration of ever-improving digi- tal aides has reduced their involvement in the physical development of products. This has led to less commission- based pay. All of this does not, how- ever, mean human resources are redundant. It just means the work they complete has changed – along with the necessary skills – and human resource management (HRM) needs to find alternative ways to acknowledge the level of skills workers possess. Industry refers to these as “soft skills” – personal attrib- utes that contribute to effective collaboration and teamwork. HRM needs to find ways to de- velop these skills if organis- ations are to survive in this day and age. This requires more than salary incentives. We all want more money, but that cannot automatically equate to improved skills. What incentives do we need to help us grow these soft skills? From experience working in the education industry, I can attest to the need for time. Building development time into workloads will help work- ers in all service and relation- ship-based organisations build better approaches to their jobs. Other organisations have found economical ways of sup- porting their employees through generous sick days and annual leave, providing on-site day care and offering flexible work options such as the ability to work from home. These incentives are less ex- pensive than pay rises and de- velop stronger organisational commitment from workers. HRM must focus on incen- tivising the development of these soft skills in order to build strong organisational leadership that is effective in the contemporary world. The biggest incentive HRM can offer workers is time to de- velop their skills. THE BIGGEST INCENTIVE HRM CAN OFFER WORKERS IS TIME TO DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS.
