Assessment Task 2: Human resources requirements project
Resources required
Computer and Microsoft Office
Access to Boutique Build Strategic and Operational Plan
Access to the internet for research
Space for a meeting
Context and conditions of assessment
This assessment should be completed in the classroom as part of the simulated work environment. The
assessor will advise dates for submission.
Instructions to student
All assessment activities relate to a fictional organisation, Boutique Build Australia Pty Ltd.
You are required to determine human resources strategies for Boutique Build Australia and you will need to
do this by reviewing the company’s strategic plan in order to determine its goals and objectives and resulting
human resources needs, as well as consulting with managers on their human resource needs.
Boutique Build Australia Pty Ltd 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. The company has been operational for seven years. The company employs the following staff:
Managing Director, Marketing and Sales Manager, Sales Consultants (4), Office Manager, Human Resources Manager, Human Resources Assistant, Construction Manager, Site Manager (2), Production Draftsperson (2), 6 Carpenters and a range of contract staff, including plumbers, electricians, tilers, painters and plasterers.
The workforce is predominantly male with the only three females employed (the Office Manger and the two Human Resources positions). As indicated in the Strategic Plan, the company wishes to increase the number of women in its workforce.
Another current staff issue for the company is that while the use of contractors e.g. tillers, painters and plasterers reduces the company’s ongoing staff overheads, at times it is difficult to ensure that all the required contractors are available to work on the company’ s projects.
The company’s vision as stated in its Strategic Plan is to be the best boutique home builder in Australia. Its values are listed as quality, innovation, leadership, respect and honesty and reliability.
As the Human Resources Manager for the company you have been tasked by the General Manager as part of the ongoing continuous improvement of the company to review and report on human resources services.

following:
An analysis of the company’s strategic priorities and their relationship to human resources.
A PESTLE analysis that identifies and analyses external factors that affect or are likely to affect the
human resources requirements of Boutique Build.
As the company has also identified that it would like to increase female representation in the
workplace, you should also research and document potential strategies for increasing female
representation.
Your briefing report should be written in clear and concise English and must address all of the above content.
Your briefing report should be approximately 2 pages.
You should email your briefing report to your assessor at least 2 days prior to the meeting. You will be

Company recruitment and selection policy and procedure provided to you by your assessor.

with the final version of the SLA, as well as the recruitment policy and procedure. You will be assessed on

performance. You should also explain your intended actions to ensure targets are met and seek feedback as
