Staff must make a valued contribution to the work of the organisation. Eventually they will leave, more often than not because they find alternative employment or retire. Occasionally, however, employment has to be terminated. This unit considers how human resource management deals with these aspects of working. However, the focus of human resource management has moved beyond personnel management towards a more proactive approach that, in addition to the traditional roles associated with staff management, also considers...

...BTEC Level 3 in Business – Unit 4: Business Communication Context Businesses need accurate information. This information has to move between different individuals, different departments and different organisations. The information can be anything from a simple idea to masses of data on business performance. It can come from inside an organisation or from almost anywhere outside. Put simply, a business that does not plan how to deal with this information is a business much more likely to fail. The Scenario A medium sized business organisation has identified that communication within their organisation is poor. This has resulted in the calling in of a management consultant (you) to help but together a communication strategy. You will be expected to offer guidance on: • How and why different types of information need to be communicated in different ways. • Where information comes from. • How and why information needs to be recorded and stored. • Explaining what can happen when communication breaks down. • Explaining technological issues affecting information. • What laws and other rules control and constrain the flow of information. You will be expected to produce a report and present your ideas to a selected audience. Task 1 Produce a PowerPoint presentation that explains the nature of communication in business and the various types of information used by a business. You must also explain where this information can come from and...

...ASSESSMENT FRONT SHEET Programme: BTEC Higher National Diploma (HND) in Business Unit Number: Unit 24 Unit Title: Employee Relations Unit code: (F/601/1271) QCF Level: 5 Tutor Name: Email: Key dates Distribution date: 25/04/2016 Submission date: Return date: 4 weeks after submission Introduction The term ‘employee relations’ has replaced that of ‘industrial relations’ Industrial relations are generally recognized as relations between an employer and a collective workforce, typically through a recognized union. Employee relations means the relationship between an employee and employer, and this is largely controlled by legislation and is being revised and updated continuously. It is important for learners to appreciate how good employee/employer relations contribute to the success and effectiveness of a business. In this unit they will investigate how cooperation between employers and employees leads to the development of good working relations against a changing background. The success of a business often relies on its relationships with its employees. Learners will investigate and explore different types of industrial conflict and the procedures for resolving this. It is important that learners are aware of change and keep up to date with developments in dispute procedures in relation to employment law. Legislation and EU directives play a major role in employee relations and learners will examine how these are...
