Questions
Provide answers to all of the questions below:
Identify five ways in which workplace systems andpolicies and procedurescan assist in building effective relationships.
Recognize your advantages and disadvantages.
Knowing your advantages and disadvantages might be important before concentrating on developing new business ties. Building connections at work may benefit from having interpersonal skills including communication, active listening, and dispute resolution. It's critical to consider both the attributes you hope to offer to a new working relationship and those you hope to find in a partner. An emotional intelligence (EI) exam may be useful for this job.
Make time to cultivate relationships.
Strong business partnerships take time to develop. It could be challenging to find time to engage with other team members given your usual responsibilities and tasks at work. It will be simpler to talk to and get to know your co-workers if you set aside time to build connections. The best times to schedule planning time are the first ten minutes of your shift, lunchtime, or the last few minutes before you leave the workplace. Even better, schedule your meetings so that everyone gets a chance to catch up within the first ten minutes. Many businesses also provide team trips or after-hours activities that are excellent for forging bonds among staff.
Explore and pay attentionIt's also a crucial step in the relationship-building process to get to know your co-workers better, so ask questions and listen intently. You show interest in a co-worker when you ask about their personal lives, career aspirations, or basic requirements. Before disclosing any specifics about your life, give them a chance to ask you about it. Your employees will start to perceive you as a competent communicator if you start asking questions and promoting open dialogue. They are more likely to approach you when they need someone to listen, when they are happy, or when they are having difficulty.
Offer supportHelping a co-worker who needs help with a task might make it easier to develop relationships at work. If you see a co-worker is worried and you have some free time, think about volunteering to help. You are modelling the trustworthiness that is necessary for collaboration by helping your co-workers.
Respect each employee's contributionThanksgiving can help to cement relationships. Occasionally, it could seem impossible to understand the challenges that a different department is facing, and frustrations may give rise to unfavourable feelings. By keeping in mind that each department has different goals, you can determine where each person stands within the organisation. Instead of forming conclusions or putting blame on others, it would be prudent to consider viable solutions. You'll find that by working together in a positive and professional manner, you get a new appreciation for your co-workers, which will allow you to start forging strong connections.
Workplace policies and procedures are often based on legislation and regulations.Discuss the purpose of each of the following Acts and for each Act explain why the Act is important for ensuring effective workplace relationships.
Age Discrimination Act 2004
Age-based discrimination in the workplace is prohibited by the Age Discrimination Act of 2004 (ADA). It must be followed by both new and seasoned workers. Australians of all ages are also protected by the ADA against discrimination in other areas of public life, including education, the purchase or usage of services, and the renting or buying of a house or an apartment. The ADA also prohibits harassing or bullying another individual because of their age. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act prohibits employers from discriminating against persons 40 years of age or older based on their age (ADEA). Although some countries have laws preventing age discrimination against younger employees, these laws do not cover individuals under the age of forty.
Disability Discrimination Act 1992
The 1992 Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in a number of sectors of public life, including employment, education, access to or use of services, the right to rent or buy a home or other property, and public spaces. Short-term and long-term impairments, illnesses, diseases, physical deformities, health problems, and job accidents are all covered under the DDA. People who struggle with their physical, mental, sensory, neurological, learning, or psychosocial well-being are also included. It comprises impairments that people already have, prospective future disabilities, and disabilities that people are expected to suffer in the future. The DDA protects people with disabilities against discrimination regardless of whether they use assistive devices or equipment like wheelchairs or hearing aids or if they are accompanied by a trained animal like a guide, hearing, or service dog.
Fair Work Act 2009
The Fair Work Act is one of the most significant Commonwealth legislations governing the employment of workers over retirement age. It clarifies the responsibilities of workers, employers, and employee organisations in relation to certain employment terms and conditions. The Fair Work Act lays forth rules for both businesses and employees within the "national system." Employment that is not governed by the national industrial relations system is nonetheless subject to the relevant state industrial relations systems. However, employees in non-national systems are also eligible for a number of Fair Work Act advantages. The Act also established various organisations, including Fair Work Australia (FWA) and the FWO, to oversees its administration as well as a framework for compliance and enforcement.
Racial Discrimination Act 1975
The Racial Discrimination Act of 1975 states that it is illegal to treat someone differently based on their race, colour, ancestry, national origin, ethnic origin, or immigration status (RDA). People are protected against racial discrimination under the RDA in a variety of spheres of public life, including employment, education, service use, renting or purchasing real estate, and visiting public spaces.
Sex Discrimination Act 1984.
The Sex Discrimination Act of 1984 (SDA) prohibits discrimination against anyone based on their sex, gender identity, intersex status, sexual orientation, marital status, partner status, parental obligations, and whether or not they are now or may soon be pregnant or nursing.
Explain how effective problem-solvingand conflict resolutionstrategies outlined in policies and procedurescan support the identificationand resolution ofworkplace problems, thus maintaining effective workplace relationships.
Conflict management is one of the most important abilities in today's industry, but it's also a skill that many people shy away from using. Even though most people find conflict uncomfortable in both personal and professional settings, acquiring good conflict resolution skills is crucial, particularly at the workplace. Particularly if you hold a leadership position, this is true. If you can resolve conflicts as they come up, that's in both your best interest and the best interest of your team. Leading others requires the ability to resolve conflicts. Although conflict resolution is a talent that is best learned over years of experience and practise, beginning with some of the most popular and efficient conflict resolution techniques will provide you a solid foundation to build on for years to come.
Explain the purpose of a workplace Code of Conduct and how it can assist in ensuring aharmoniousworkplace and the way in which staff interact and communicate with each other.
A workplace code of conduct is essential because it gives employees specific instructions on how to act while doing their tasks. While some companies want to keep things simple, others want their personnel to adhere by a code of conduct with specific expectations. By being informed of the regulations, processes, and expectations, a worker may be able to excel at their job and a potential employee may be able to decide whether they can work in a given organisation. The definition of a code of conduct, five instances, the reasons for its significance, and more forms are all covered in great length on this page. A strict code of conduct can boost employee retention and loyalty. When you identify with the company's culture and ideals, you'll feel committed. The code serves as a benchmark for ethical business decisions. It serves as a means of informing the appropriate people, such as employees, clients, and customers, about a company's guiding values. Additionally, it describes how new hires must be treated after they begin working for that organisation.
Many workplacesencourage their staff to build networks both internally and externally to the organisation. This may be through online networks, such as LinkedIn, or by engaging with the community and other services or business that may be of benefit to the organisation. Furthermore, professional development processes encourage staff to meet new people by attending conferences, training sessions and other events.Discuss three reasons why networkingcanlead to a more productive and effective workplace environment.
Increase your expertiseNetworking is a great opportunity to exchange best practises, learn how other people operate their firms, and stay current with developments in your industry. A wide network of competent, linked contacts increases access to current and crucial information. The opportunity to get new knowledge is occasionally overlooked because it isn't the most obvious benefit of networking, but it also provides professional development and progress. It's a good idea to directly ask your contacts about recent developments and tactics, but you should also keep an eye on what they publish on LinkedIn and don't forget to leave a comment to let them know you liked the article. Additionally, pay attention to what people with various ideas have to say since they might be able to provide you new insights that you hadn't previously considered.
Create enduring personal connectionsEven though it should be obvious that networking is done to create and maintain professional connections, some of the strongest and longest-lasting friendships have their origins in the workplace. Since the people you meet through networking are frequently like-minded and share your goals, it is usual for your personal relationships to have an influence on your professional support network.
Obtain employment opportunitiesThrough networking, you may find new opportunities for employment, career advancement, personal growth, or even just to learn new things. By being actively involved in networking, you increase your chances of meeting possible allies and receiving recommendations, which puts you at the front of people's minds when opportunities, such as job openings, occur. Consider the fact that many roles aren't even advertised in order to access opportunities you would not otherwise have as your career progresses.
Not everyone is the best at communicating or interacting with other people. A workplace will consist of people from different backgrounds and cultures, those with different life, education and work experiences, those with varyingabilitiesand needs. Some organisations have in place a variety of systems and supports for their staff. These may relate to staff wellbeing/ employee assistance programs, training in soft skills such as communication and interpersonal skills, diversity training, and so on. Explain how these types of processes can assist staff to work more effectively together.
Employees frequently become depleted from dealing with challenging clients. They express their rage verbally, on social media, and in emails to their supervisors. In this case, the employee may get a warning or even fired, but more significantly, sales or customer satisfaction wouldn't increase. As a result, training in communication skills has become crucial for personnel. Training in communication skills among employees has the ability to improve output at work, job happiness, and the efficacy of written and spoken English replies. Programs for improving employee communication cover topics including empathic listening, rapport-building, being clear, precise, and confident. Active listening requires being aware, observant, and a good listener. The speaker urges the audience to pay close attention and take immediate action. In a manner similar to this, establishing rapport and exhibiting empathy entails teaching others how to communicate in a welcoming manner that will draw like-minded individuals and motivate those around you. Additionally, effective communication requires respecting the feelings and perspectives of others. Additionally, participants in the office staff communication skills training are taught how to be accurate and clear. Talkative persons may find themselves in a crowded setting because they like to be in charge of the conversation. It is essential that you communicate your ideas clearly as a consequence. Additionally, it aids comprehension and prevents misunderstandings.
Explain the value of consulting with employees ontopics such asworkplace issues, innovation, diversity, work health and safety, and professional development.
When a problem involving a worker's health and safety is likely to have an impact on them directly or directly on them, an employer and/or person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) is required to communicate with the employees, according to Safework NSW. In these situations, workers must be given the ability to express their views and take part in any decisions that might have an impact on their health and safety. This can be done through committees, representatives for workplace health and safety, or other regular meeting locations. For instance, workers must be consulted before replacing any equipment, even for risk management reasons. The employees must be considered in any consideration of how effectively the facilities are run. To the degree practical, you must consult all of your employees, volunteers, hired assistants, contractors, subcontractors, and other persons who work for you and are affected by health and safety problems. Employees have the right to speak up for themselves during consultation procedures and to have a health and safety representative chosen to speak on their behalf. The discussion must involve any current worker's health and safety representative.
Explain the requirements under Modern Awards to consult with employees, including the circumstances in which consultation is required and the steps that mustbetaken by employers in consulting with employees.
Employers could be unclear about whether and how much consultation is necessary due to the duties imposed by current awards. Employers must carefully assess and follow by the applicable contemporary award provision when it comes to award-covered personnel in order to minimise the danger of having to pay a fine or having an otherwise legitimate redundancy turn into an unjust dismissal. To guarantee that procedures are fair from a procedural perspective and to reduce the danger of a claim of unfair treatment, employers can also think about implementing the consultation process for award-free workers. Employers must give workers written information on the changes they want to make, their anticipated impacts, and any potential mitigating measures in order to honour their duty to consult with them. It may be challenging to tell whether an employer is "clearly determined" to accept change, but it is essential to stress that they must start talking as soon as it is practically possible. For instance, consult may be used if an employer decides and records during a management meeting that a change will be adopted.
List five different ways an employer may choose to consult with employees.
In order to represent them in resolving specific WHS concerns, HSRs are chosen by their workgroup as elected representatives. HSRs can do a range of jobs, and with the right training, they may suggest improvements and halt work when it poses a risk. HSRs that represent employees must participate in the consultation. The Fact Sheet on HSRs contains more information on the functions and requirements of HSRs.
HSCs, which are composed of managers and employees, design and assess the WHS policies and procedures for each work group. When five or more members of a workgroup desire to form an HSC, the HSR must submit the request. If there is an HSC, the HSR for the work group may choose to join it.
A workgroup may opt to negotiate various consultation agreements with the PCBU on its behalf. These are typically the most straightforward methods of counselling.
Several examples of agreements that have been reached include;WHS issues are a frequent meeting agenda item.
Regular toolbox seminars or topic presentations
The work group creates a contract for bringing up and offering commentary on WHS problems.
Describe a general process for conflict management.
Identify the conflict's origin.
Understanding the root reasons of the issue will make it easier for you to contribute to finding a solution. By asking a sequence of questions, such as, "When did you feel upset?" you can obtain the information you want. Do you perceive a connection between it and what is taking place? How did this occurrence start? You must give both sides an opportunity to explain their cases as a manager or supervisor. It will help you comprehend the problem more clearly and show that you are objective.
Think past the situation.
The perspective of the situation is frequently what causes anger to intensify until it eventually presents itself in a yelling match or other visibly disruptive consequence. The conflict may have started over a little incident that happened months ago, but now the parties are attacking one another rather than working out the genuine problem. You might be able to convince them to look past the event that sparked their rage in order to identify the actual cause in the calm environment of your workplace.
Request answers.
The next stage is to invite each stakeholder to provide suggestions for potential changes to the situation after gathering all of the comments. Once more, ask the parties, "How can we improve our relationship? A good body language reader who pays close attention to what others are saying are essential for a mediator. You must direct the discussion away from making accusations and towards workable solutions to the dispute if you want the disputants to stop arguing and start cooperating.
Find solutions that both disputing parties can agree on.
So pay attention while you consider your options. Give instances of the advantages of different strategies for the organisation and from each other's perspectives. You may claim, for example, that improved teamwork and collaboration are necessary for successfully handling departmental and team challenges.
Agreement.
The role of the mediator is to get the parties to shake hands and agree on one of the Step 4 options. The ultimate goal is a negotiated agreement. A contract with specific conditions and dates may even be drawn up by certain mediators.
List four ways an employer must manage the tasks and responsibilities of employees.
Make use of employee management software.
Specifically, to assist you in streamlining and automating the process of managing people and making sure they constantly perform at their best, employee management software was created. Not to mention that many of your employees are already familiar with utilising staff management software, especially if you work with intergenerational teams. With a decent one, you can organise schedules, manage workflow, and interact with your workers.
Clarify your expectations.
The truth is that you must be clear about your needs in order for your staff to fulfil them. Whatever it may be certain sales, the standard of the work, the work atmosphere, the number of hours put in, etc. Make goals for yourself. Once you've made up your decision, communicate your goals to the team. Just be sure to provide them with a due date and detailed guidelines. Employees that are unsure of themselves will only get confused, fearful of taking risks because they believe they will fail, and unproductive since they won't be working to your expectations. The root of everything is their inability to grasp your expectations of them.
Encourage employee growth.
72% of respondents to a Monster study claimed that their employer was uninterested in their career advancement. It is crucial to provide employees with the chance to grow in various positions as a consequence. This will keep workers interested in their work and help them advance their skill sets so they can be more valuable to your company. Increasing your staff by
impart internal instruction (one-on-one or online programs)
Employees should go to seminars and conferencesAccept the potential of employees to change based on their interests and skills.
Set Goals Together
Effective teamwork and communication require that each team member be focused on the same objective. Having personal ambitions is good, but it may also lead to isolation and lessen chances for cooperation. Instead, you may accomplish your company's goals by encouraging every employee to work together on a single, distinct goal.
Discuss how a manager can address cultural and social sensitivities in their team to ensure inclusivity and be mindful of diversity.
One of the most important ways to foster cultural sensitivity in the workplace is via education and educating about what it is, why it matters, and how to practise it. Training on cultural sensitivity in the workplace covers topics including etiquette, marketing, communication, and social customs. If, for instance, your company routinely transacts business with clients and partners abroad, it could be a good idea to teach personnel on regional business norms. There, the buyer could prefer a different kind of marketing than you're used to, or they might barter differently than you do. Since even seemingly simple behaviours like shaking hands or establishing eye contact may not be perceived the same way in another nation, it is essential to understand cultural differences.

What are the values and goals of the organisation?
Developing one's leadership capacityStrong, competent operational leadership is crucial to the company's capacity to fulfil its overarching strategic goal and realise its vision. For operational positions, the company has had difficulty locating appropriate candidates from outside sources. In the short to medium term, it is thought that this entails giving priority to the development of leaders among the staff of the organisation.
An employment market with intense competition
Due to the great need for workers in the construction industry, the employment market is particularly competitive. The firm faces a hurdle as a result of the fact that employees now have more job possibilities. This needs to be taken care of in order to hire staff for the company.
The workforce's degree of education
The workforce's age and educational background continue to be major challenges for the construction sector. The exodus of seasoned professionals who are reaching the end of their careers is a significant issue, as opposed to the smaller numbers of those entering the sector through the apprenticeship training system.
Describe your job role.
My role is of the Human Resource manager. I will be managing small teams within departments and the allotment of tasks and responsibilities.
Explain how your job role takes responsibility for formulating, organising and implementing plans, processes and strategies.

At Boutique Build Australia, every person is required to approach their profession with morality, honesty, and integrity. All employees are expected to conduct themselves in all commercial, professional, and interpersonal dealings honestly, fairly, and honourably. Employees should never divulge private information to members of the public, Boutique Build Australia clients, co-workers, or anyone else, and they should never make statements that they know to be untrue, misleading, or dishonest. Although they must follow all policies and guidelines, employees at Boutique Build Australia are not allowed to be forced to conduct any crimes. They must notify line management of the incident and refuse any advice, instructions, or encouragement to commit a crime.
Summarise the policies and procedures that address conflict management.
Conflict management procedure starts with a discussion with the supervisor where in the conflict is being addressed with higher authority and brought to the attention along with filing a complaint if need be. The written complaint and decision are then taken into consideration wherein adequate actions based on the severity of the complaint are taken. After that, an appeal on the decision is made in case the employee is dissatisfied by the action taken, followed by further action if necessary.
Identify and describe the required processes for workplace collaboration from relevant policies and procedures.
Boutique Build Australia aims to enhance and streamline communications in order to support the vision and strategic objectives (internal and external). We will continue to develop and test new communication platforms, methods, and technologies to improve information exchange and collaboration among all employees.

Notice boards and suggestion boxes- Notices can be displayed on a noticeboard at the workplace for everyone to see. A prominent location is required for the notice board. Unless it is an ongoing communication, all notices placed must be authorised by the relevant management and will remain up for a month. Box for suggestions: This is often located in the staff conference room. Anytime the staff adds a recommendation, the HR Manager will examine it and record it in a feedback register. The record will also detail the proposed course of action for the recommendation.
Electronic calendars - Effective employee communication necessitates the use of email and electronic calendars. These technologies enable the efficient and straightforward communication of information regarding tasks, meetings, internal operations, etc. These sources also provide records, which can be viewed as official documentation.
Meetings and conversations - A dialogue should always be the first choice (face-to-ace, telephone etc.). If the discussion covers important topics like repercussions, deadlines, negotiations, and outcomes, a summary email or paper is required. Typically, staff meetings occur once a month. A weekly team meeting could take place. Requirements particular to each project will decide how frequently meetings will occur. Prior to each meeting, each agenda should be disseminated using the format specified. The agenda should be provided at least two days prior to the meeting. Every meeting's minutes must be delivered to attendees within two days following the gathering.

Proof of Collaboration
Occasion 1
Facilitating Collaboration:
Brainstormingsessionsconducting to gather ideasand innovations to reduce workplace conflicts between employees and understand their interests and common grounds.
Clarifying the root of conflict is the first step towards resolving it. Defining the source of the disagreement can help you understand how the problem arose in the first place. You will also be able to persuade both sides to agree on the nature of the issue. And in order to do so, you must first examine the needs that are not being satisfied on all sides of the debate. You must also guarantee mutual understanding. Obtain as much information as possible on each side's viewpoint. Continue to ask questions until you are certain that all parties involved comprehend the situation.
By brainstorming the issues that are being faced by the employees, we got a deeper understanding of the situation we were dealing with. We identified task-based Conflict which prominently affected the efficiency of an employee.

Proof ofConflict Management Effort
Occasion1
Task-Based Conflict
1.Determine the task conflict
Recognizing the problem is the first step in dealing with task conflict at work. Identifying the elements of the conflict might help you find feasible solutions. The following disagreement factors may be identified:
*Who is participating in the conflict: First, identify the workers that are involved in the dispute. It might be as few as two coworkers or as many as the entire team.
*The source of the conflict: The task that is producing employee friction can then berecognized.
*The outcomes of the conflict: Another issue to examine is the task conflict's effect. This might be due to a harsh work environment or a lack of productivity.
2.Determine conflict resolution techniques.
Following that, you might look for conflict-resolution strategies to use to address the task conflict. Here are sometypical methods for resolving work conflicts:
* Managers may help employees avoid task conflicts by designating which tasks correspond to which responsibilities rather than leaving this decision up to the team.
*Collaborate on solutions: Employees and managers can use their creativity to collaborate on task conflict resolution. A solution on which everyone involved can agree is more likely to succeed in the long run.
*. Emloyees may agree to try several techniques to completing tasks to see which is most successful.
3.Work out the task conflict.
Once you've identified the ways for resolving the issue, you may put them into action. If workers are unable to reach an agreement on their own, they may seek the help of their boss to further resolve the task conflict.
Proof ofConflict Management Effort
Occasion2
Performance-ReviewConflict
1.Be Impartial
Even if the issue is between a close friend and a new employee you don't know well, being neutral is one of the best ways to resolve it.
If you don't think you can be neutral, ask someone else to step in and mediate the conflict. Impartiality includes standing up for what is right in a particular situation and settling disputes in a way that benefits all parties involved.
2.Open Discussion
To manage conflict, you must be willing to discuss your circumstances and dilemma. Discussion is an essential part of conflict resolution because it keeps the workplace from absorbing the negative consequences of the disagreement. It also helps everyone to understand one other's perspectives and feel comfortable offering their own.
Section 3: Monitor and review management of workplace relationshipsIf you are basing this assessment on your own business, make sure you have enough information available to monitor the outcomes of your efforts to address the workplace relationships.

Section 1: PlanningDescribe the organisation you are basing this project on
What is the name of the organisation?
What does the organisation do?
What are the objectives of the organisation?
Describe your role and responsibilities
For the purpose of the assignment Deloitte Tax LLP has been selected as the organization.
The organization is one of the Big Four and provides services in auditing, financial advisory, taxation and consultation. It is one of the most preferred companies to work with around the world.
The objectives of the organization are to cater to the needs of the client with quality and impactful services. Excellence is the part of the culture and trust what they strive for.
I work as a recruitment manager with the company and looks after that complete recruitment cycle.
Describe any existing recruitment and onboarding policies and practices currently in place. Recruitment policies
Initial screening
When the candidate applies to the company the application is forwarded to Talent Acquisition team member. They are responsible for assessing the skills and experience of the candidate and match it as per the selection criteria. The advertised job helps the candidate to give an idea what the vacant position is about. The team will contact the candidate further once the application of the same has been reviewed.
Interview
In order to check the competency of the candidate the experienced members become part of the interview panel. Firstly, the telephonic interview will be conducted by the talent acquisition team. This also helps the candidate to check on available opportunity and ask relevant questions regarding the role and the company. Post that technical interview is conducted which is face to face interview take by panel or through case study method. The in-depth interview screens the candidate on technical and motivational grounds and evaluates the fit against role, firm and the team in which he/she is going to work. The final interview usually with the Director/Partner of the service line in which the candidate is going to work.
Please note depending on the location this process can also be conducted via online mode. The availability of candidate is checked prior to the interview.
Tests/Assessments
Some role might attracts the process of assessments and the candidate has to appear for them. Once the telephonic interview is done within two weeks assessments will be conducted if required.
Pre-employment checks
When the interview process is moving towards final stage the pre-employment checks are conducted before making an employment offer. The qualification and employment references are checked through agencies or MIE.
Offer While the pre-employment screening is already under way the offer approval is made verbally by the talent acquisition team. When this part is approved then the further step is followed by a written form of offer which discloses the offer details and other employment conditions.
On-boarding policies
The on-boarding tool is provided to the candidate as a link along with the access to concerned HR person by checking the availability of the candidate. The Talent team will take over about physical or online process.
Research three options for technology that are likely to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the recruitment process.
Summarise the research done for each technology and include three different technologies in your answer
Attach proof of your research to this section of the portfolio.
Resume screening: Investing time in screening resumes can be tiresome and with the help of screening software this can be done in seconds only. This helps in reducing the time to shortlist and the candidate and save the overall time in the process. This is useful when high volume hiring took place by the company. Deloitte do mass recruitment for certain positions at times. The software also includes ATS, a tracking software which helps to ask mandate questions besides application. These questions help to collect specific information about the candidate. When the screening is apt it helps in reducing time of responding to the candidate as moving to another stages of recruitment is faster and easier.
Assessment tools: These can be tests like psychometric tests which helps to assess the skills possessed by the candidate and ensure that candidate is a right fit for the organizational culture. Candidates can be filtered with the help of this process before face-to-face interview and only the skilled left for the same. There are questions, which belong to cognitive thinking and requires candidate to take action in situation based questions. This helps in assessing their presence of mind, problem solving skills and numerical reasoning. It also contributes in predicting the success roles where the candidate can perform better and pick out the right fit for the organization.
Video Interviews: Helps in identifying team members, which can be part of remote teams. They are more effective than face-to-face interviews and amid pandemic the importance of video conferencing has even increased. Video interviews include short videos where candidate introduce themselves, answer pre-designed questions in short videos for each question. Live interviews are also part of the process where interviews are conducted on platforms like Skype, Zoom, Google meet or other video conferencing platforms. This saves the time of candidate and the organization as there is no need to finalize the venue only date and time for conducting video interview is relevant.
Stakeholders
Identify who needs to support the new policy and procedures?
Describe how you will consult with each stakeholder and gather their support. The stakeholders who need to support new policy and procedures are Manager, Recruiter and the candidate.
Manager: The manager will be consulted by conducting a meeting on the new policy. The HR will discuss the policy implications and points of difference will be addressed. This help to gather support form him
Recruiter: The recruiter will understand the policy and will identify any gaps in the process. If all goes well he will also give green signal for the same.
Candidate: The candidate has to agree to abide by the process and therefore before beginning he will have to read the terms and conditions and agree with them.
Recommended HR policy and procedures update and supporting forms or documents
Provide an outline of a recommended human resources policy and procedures (include all steps of the recruitment process) and supporting forms/documents required based on your research and the organisational needs.
Recommended policy updates:
Identifying the need: Once the hiring need is identified the process becomes lot more easier as job description is based on that the vacant positions.
Preparation of job description: By understanding the organizational and departmental needs effective job description can be designed
Developing recruitment plan: The recruitment plan is designed which included on which portal the job will be advertised, how the candidates will be screened and the responsibilities of talent acquisition team
Searching candidates: The candidates are searched form talent pool which gets created due to application of candidates. This stage is time consuming and tiresome.
Recruiting candidates: It is always possible that best talent will have multiple offers in their hand. Therefore it is required that team maintain timely communication with desired candidate so as to ensure that the talent gets recruited by the company
Conducting screening: The screening of resumes is done to shortlist the deserving candidates and then move them to next stage of interview process.
Interviewing: The candidates will be interviewed by the expert panel followed by finalising the talent
Offering job: The selected candidates will get offer letter and initially they will be communicated verbally.
On-boarding new employee. After offer letter being accepted by the candidates the on boarding process is conducted which included documentation and induction process.
Review of relevant legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice
Summarise relevant legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice that may affect recruitment, selection and induction and that need to be addressed within the policy and procedure.

Guidelines for effective interviews
While conducting an interview the recruiter or HR has to follow following guidelines so that they will be left with best talent after the interview process.
It is required to put the candidate at ease. If the candidate feels unnecessary pressure he will not be able to give correct answers or will perform poorly during the interview. By judging the situation the interviewer should pick a topic, which is of common interest or most talked about and helps in easy transition towards difficult questions.
Asking open-ended questions will give more room for discussion as it will help the shy candidate to share more details. Asking what questions will help in collecting required information about candidate.
While interviewing making notes is good idea so that important information is not missed while finalizing the candidate.
The interviewer should give more opportunity to candidate to speak and he should himself speak less. This will allow him to observe the candidate and evaluate his responses on the basis of selection criteria.
It is good to be reserved with the questions which means the interviewer should understand what need t be asked and what not to be asked during interview. The questions should be job focused and does not involve personal life of the candidate.
