SITXHRM002 Roster Staff Assignment

·           where this task should be completed

·           how your assessment should be submitted.

Note: You must complete and submit an assessment cover sheet with your work. A template is provided in Appendix B of the Student User Guide. However, if your RTO has provided you with an assessment cover sheet, please ensure that you use that.

Once you have completed the business case study, you will then need to meet with staff to discuss their availability over the next three weeks.

The assessor will divide you into groups of 5. Each person in the group must select one of the staff positions that you identified in the business case study and complete the Staff profile template provided. They will do this providing their own details and skills and experience.

As a staff member, make sure you are true to your own commitments and availability over the roster period. Also consider your own personal, social and cultural needs and ensure to communicate any requirements to the person preparing the roster.

Please note that this is an individual task so each person must develop their own business case.

When conducting discussions, take into consideration:

·           Any staff requests for the roster including any upcoming personal commitments

·           Social and cultural considerations such as working flexibly, family commitments, cultural events or ceremonies.

During the meeting with your group, ensure that you use effective communication skills including:

·           Listening to staff requests

·           Using active listening to confirm understanding

·           Asking questions to confirm any requirements
