Assessment Task 3 BSBHRM512 Develop and manage performance-management processes

Procedure
1. Review the following scenario:

You are the Human Resources General Manager at Australian Hardware.


Three months of pilot training has been delivered by an external training
provider to sales staff, and you are reviewing the effectiveness of the training
that has been provided so far. Data gathered so far indicates the training is
failing to meet targets.
You will need to develop strategies and a training schedule to ensure that the
provider, Train Your Way Up, delivers effective training. You will also need
to renegotiate the implementation of training with Train Your Way Up.
Consider the following training requirements agreed to by senior management
team and HR at Australian Hardware.
● 4,000 sales staff to be trained, including the following characteristics:

○ an average of seven sales people per product team


○ four product teams per store
○ 138 stores
● 30 trainers required

● only one person from each team may be trained at any one time

● sessions require one-day, face-to-face training

● staff need to be completely up-skilled and performing to targets within


six months.

First, however, you will need to prepare a report for the senior management
team to explain the results and your planned actions, one of which is to ensure
line managers participate in regular monitoring and support of employees to
apply sales training on the job.

2. Review the performance data in Appendix 1 of this assessment task.


3. Review the Australian Hardware simulated business information provided in the
Assessment Appendices.
4. Prepare a 1–2 page report for the senior management team detailing:
a. training outcomes
b. your interpretation of the performance data
c. interventions you will undertake to rectify issues
Support your planned interventions with reference to Australian Hardware as a learning
organisation and addressing performance gaps to achieve specific organisational
objectives and broader long-term goals.

Assessment Task 3 BSBHRM512 Develop and manage performance-management processes

As an opening position, you would like Train Your Way Up (TYWU) to take
complete responsibility for the effectiveness of the training. You would like
TYWU to incorporate your strategies, revised training schedule and
monitoring schedule into the new agreement. You would like TYWU to pay a
penalty of $100,000 (5% of the total $2 million fee) to offset costs that will be
incurred by Australian Hardware as a result of the underperformance of the
training program to-date.
You are willing, however, to offer an additional bonus payment of $200,000
upon successful implementation of your significant improvements to the
program. Your bottom line is that this extra money (and an additional
$300,000) is considered at risk if TYWU fails to meet mutually agreed targets.
Such targets must include:
● completion of training of 4,000 employees

● simulated AND actual on-the-job demonstration of relevant skills as part


of training assessment for all employees (an audit of training and
assessment records will provide adequate proof, and line manager third-
party reports will provide adequate proof).

You would like to ensure more regular reporting of progress and involvement
of line managers in monitoring and support.

10. Submit the required documents for assessment as per the specifications below. Be sure
to keep a copy for your records.

Specifications

● submit 1–2 page evaluation report on the training outcomes for senior management

Interviews with employees and level 1 feedback


Interviews with sales employees immediately after training found that sales employees:
● reported that they enjoyed training very much

● had thought the training and assessment would be much more difficult than it turned out
to be
● found the ten question multiple choice assessment easy and convenient

● are not sure if they would be able to apply knowledge in face-to-face dealings with
customer.

Interviews with managers


Interviews with line managers yielded the following general observations:
● Employees displayed initial enthusiasm after the training

● Employees are generally unable to transfer learning to actual interaction with


customers, for example:
○ sales staff do not mention sustainability as important differentiator for Australian
Hardware
○ sales staff do not follow sales model and forget to ask customers about their
specific needs and possible future needs.
