There are two tasks to be completed for this assessment. Both tasks require you to access the secondary data for the work. 

Task 001

50% Group Presentation- Development of HR Plan

• Prepare a 15-minutes group presentation on Development of HR Plan followed by Q&A session.
• This presentation will be evaluated based on the group performance as well as individual performance.

After finalising the organisation, the group needs to develop the presentation covering the following aspect of the HR plan.

1. Company profile and reason for choosing the company
2. Analysis of Organisational Plans and Objectives
3. Analysis of Human Resources Inventory
4. Assessing Future Supply and Demand
