Scenario 1

In Australia, ‘on 1 July,2017, certain penalty rates in the Restaurant, Hospitality, Pharmacy, Fast Food and Retail awards [sic] have changed. The changes affect penalty rates for some permanent and casual employees working on Sunday, public holidays, evenings or after midnight in these awards (Fair Work Ombudsman, Australian Government, 2017, p.1). Given this backdrop, examine how this change in the legal environmental factor has impacted the HR planning, job design and quality of work practices in your organisation or an industry you are working for or familiar with. As an HR practitioner, suggest a set of justified recommendations for your representative industry body to advance their negotiations with the concerned parties.

Scenario 2
Today success of HR practitioners largely depends upon how agile they are in responding to the constant challenges happening in the internal and external environment. Given this backdrop, identify one either internal or external environmental factor from the Environmental Influences Model (see figure 2.16 of the textbook) and examine how a recent or proposed change in your chosen environmental factor can impact or has impacted the HR planning, job design and quality of work practices in your organisation or an industry you are working/familiar with.

Further, more detailed information about the organisation can be obtained from sources such as company annual reports, media release, newspaper reports, Australian Bureau of Statistics, Fair Work commission, HR magazines, and professional bodies such as Australian Human Resources Institute or similar sources available in your country of interest etc. These sources willprovide you with adequate evidence to substantiate your claim of how changes in your chosen environmental factor are impacting or can impact the HR practices in the area of HR planning, job design and quality of work practices in your chosen organisation or industry.
