PBL exercise 1: Taking an HRM job


Find a current job advertisement for an HRM job.

It could be a job in one or more of the following areas:
? Generalist HRM manager, consultant, advisor, officer
? Training and developing, learning
? Organisation development, change management
? Industrial/employee relations
? ?people? manager
? Recruitment
? Health and safety.

The job could be in a company, in government, in a not-for-profit, non-government organisation (NGO) or charity, a union or employer association, or a consulting/ professional services firm; for a single site, or in a regional or national role; in Australia or elsewhere.

Choose a job you might enjoy doing and find challenging in 2 to 5 years time.

Choose a job where the advertisement names the organisation offering the job, and make sure it is an organisation on which there is information available.

You?ll find many ads in newspapers, at seek.com.au or similar sites, or at specialist recruitment sites. International students or Australian students considering working overseas should look at newspapers/sites in your chosen region or country. However, the job advertisement must be in English, or fully translated into English.

If you don?t already know the organisation, find out about it. The following questions might act as a guide for this process:

? What kind of organisation is it?
? What is the organisation?s purpose?
? What type of people work in the organisation?
? What types of work are done in the organisation?
? How does the organisation compete? (ie. Why do customers choose its products/services over others?) Or, if a government or not-for-profit organisation, what does it need to do well?
? What, if any, major internal changes or events have occurred in the organisation in the last five or more years?
? What, if any, major external changes have shaped the organisation in the last five or more years?
? How important is effective management of people to its success? Why?
Read the job advertisement carefully. What is the specific nature of the role being advertised? What tasks/functions are to be performed? What are the expectations/performance indicators for this job?

All of this information will help you complete the assignment task.


TASK: Explain how, in this job, you would contribute to the success of this organisation?

Use the advertisement and what you know about the company as a guide. What contribution does the organisation expect this new staff member to make? What are some of the strategic issues or challenges that the organisation is likely to face that you could help with?

NOTE:
1. Attach the ad as Appendix 1 to your assignment.
2. Attach any additional information about the organisation that you think is important as Appendix 2 to your assignment.
3. Ensure that ALL of the sources you use are properly referenced.
4. I recommend you focus on two or three issues/areas only, so that you are able to be specific about your recommendations.
