ASSESSMENT TASKS
NOTE: All four assessment tasks must be satisfactorily completed to demonstrate competence.
To satisfactorily complete an assessment task, every criterion in the marking guide for that task must be met.
Assessment Task 1: Briefing pape
This first assessment task requires you to research concepts associated with organisational diversity learning for an organisation of your choice. The following tasks require you to plan, implement and evaluate a diversity learning strategy so you will need to negotiate access to the organisation and both permission and authority to ca
y out the tasks described on the following pages.
For your chosen organisation you are to assume that you are working as the Diversity Manager at the Global Head Office in Brisbane, Australia. The Chief Human Resources Officer has asked you to write a
iefing paper for the Board of Directors explaining some fundamental concepts associated with organisational diversity learning.
Your assessor will assume the roles of Chief Human Resources Officer and the Chair of the Board of Directors.
Your report should be between 400 and 600 words and must include the following.
1a A rationale for having an organisational diversity learning strategy
1b The Legislative and Regulatory requirements that apply to an organisational diversity learning strategy
1c A description of at least three types of organisational learning and assessment strategies that can be used to support organisational diversity learning and/or incorporate valuing and leveraging diversity principles
Assessment Task 2: Research and analysis report
Thanks to your
iefing paper, the Board of Directors now has a better understanding of the learning required by the organisation. As a result, the Chair wants you to conduct the research and analysis required to plan a learning and workforce training strategy.
The culmination of your research and planning will be a report for the Chair of the Board of Directors (your assessor). Your report should be between 1500 and 2000 words and must include the following.
2a The outcome of consultation with relevant organisational stakeholders for ideas on strategic diversity learning requirements for the organisation. This should include identifying the stakeholders by organisation or role,
iefly describing their interest in diversity learning within the organisation, their suggestion for diversity learning requirements and the rationale for those.
2b A description of two different approaches to learning and workplace training directed at supporting the valuing and leveraging of diversity. The descriptions should include the methodology, resources required, target audiences, how they would support the valuing and leveraging of diversity, and how the outcomes could be assessed/measured
2c An evaluation identifying which learning/workplace training approach would be best suited to support the valuing and leveraging of diversity in the organisation and why. The evaluation should balance the advantages and disadvantages of each approach to come to a defensible recommendation. The evaluation must be accompanied by a plan for implementation. The plan must contain sufficient detail for the Board of Directors to be able to make a decision on whether to go ahead. This means a rough outline of timeframes, costs, personnel required and other major resource considerations.
2d An analysis showing the alignment of the chosen organisational diversity learning strategy with the human resources and learning requirements of the organisation. The analysis should clearly identify how the chosen strategy will align with existing human resource practices and help achieve the learning requirements of the organisation.
2e An analysis of the technological and systems requirements to support the chosen organisational diversity learning strategy. The analysis should specify the required/desired technologies and systems and how they contribute to the effectiveness of the learning strategy.
2f A plan indicating how the technology and systems requirements could be acquired and implemented. The plan should include suppliers (internal and external), installation/implementation lead times, resources required to install/implement and an estimate of cost.
2g Commentary on how various diversity dimensions may affect individuals and their experiences, and inclusive social interactions within the organisation. The commentary should explain the dimensions of diversity in the organisation (eg gender, religious beliefs, race, marital status, ethnicity, parental status, age, education, physical and mental ability, income, sexual orientation, occupation, language, geographic location), how those may affect individuals representative of those dimensions in terms of their experiences with others in the organisations and the promotion of socially inclusive interactions within the organisation. for this commentary, choose the four dimensions of diversity that are most challenging within the organisation.
2h Recommendations for learning that would support individual staff members recognise and manage the effects outlined in 2g. The recommendations should focus on identifying one’s own behaviour and its effect on others, and one’s own response to the behaviour of others.
2i A review of the organisation’s policies and procedures to determine their continuing relevance, operational effectiveness, forward thinking
