Task 1: Determine Development Needs
Performance objective
You will demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to determine development needs of individuals within the
workplace.
Assessment description
For this task you will need to research the legislative requirements that can impact on decisions you may make
regarding professional development programs for individuals at a workplace. Additionally, you will need to create
tools to gather feedback from stakeholders, aimed at making collaborative decisions to identify training needs for
individuals and within the team. You will then collect and evaluate feedback.
Procedure
Part A: Legislation report
1. Use the web resources listed in Section 1 of your Student Workbook under ‘Legislation’ and enter the site
of the Commonwealth Government body that administers the national anti-discrimination legislation.
2. Answer the following questions.
a. What is the name of the anti-discrimination body?
b. List the titles of the different legislation, including the year, that govern anti-discrimination for the
Commonwealth or federal government.
c. Since July 1 2009, most Australian workplaces are governed by a system created by the Fair Work
Act 2009. Who administers this act and what do they do in relation to enforcing Commonwealth
workplace law?
d. Look up the website of the body governing anti-discrimination legislation in your state and list the
name of the administering body and title of the legislation (as required in a. and b. above).
e. In your own words, describe what unlawful discrimination is and how it can occur in regards to
training.
f. Consider the following scenario: Helen had been working as a registrar in a school for many years
and applied to undertake internal training in new information services being developed by the
department. Her application was denied because management thought she was too old to learn
about the new software being implemented.

RTO Provider: 91153 – CRICOS Code: 02672K greenwichcollege.edu.au
i. Has Helen’s employer acted ethically? Justify your response.
ii. | How do you think the federal and state authorities will advise Helen in order to resolve the situation? |
3. Document the answers to the questions in a brief report and submit to your assessor in accordance with
the specifications below.
Part B: Evaluate performance and learning needs
1. Read the case study in the appendices to this task.
2. Your task is to help Mary self-evaluate her current skills and performance while taking into consideration
the growing demand of organizational requirements. The position she was originally hired for is still
important. Both you and Mary believe that, with some professional development, she can handle the
expanded role because, as she explained, that is what she’s been doing since the business first started.
3. Next, collect feedback on Mary’s performance from other relevant sources, and sit down with Mary to
identify which areas to focus on for her skills development.
Construct a self-evaluation form
1. Using the information provided above and in the case study, create a script which outlines the
conversation you will have with Mary; how you will develop rapport with her, questions you would ask,
your explanation for why and how you will be using a self-evaluation. The script should be approximately
one-page long.
2. To guide Mary’s self-assessment against her professional development needs, you are going to construct
a self-assessment form. This form will present Mary with a summary of her day-to-day duties, including
the new responsibilities she will be undertaking. This is the prelude to a face-to-face interview for Mary,
and will assist both of you to establish her learning needs with those of the team.
3. Develop a self-evaluation form for the areas of performance required by Mary. On the form complete the
following:
a. Identify what the form is for (title, name of respondent, purpose).
b. Construct a question format on the form that summarizes Mary’s daily duties and provides space
for her to rate the level of her skills. Include any relevant areas from the information offered in the
scenario.
c. Create a section for Mary to record any other areas where she feels a professional development
program would be advantageous.

RTO Provider: 91153 – CRICOS Code: 02672K greenwichcollege.edu.au
Collect feedback from relevant sources
1. Another important source of information/feedback is from the clients that Mary takes calls from and works
with regularly on behalf of the team. Your task is to create a ‘client feedback form’ to collect information
regarding the service Mary delivers to customers of the company.
2. Develop a form to obtain feedback from clients. Focus on the service that Mary would deliver. On the
form, complete the following.
a. Include a title, purpose of the form, and space for name, date and the person’s title/job/position.
b. In consideration of your client’s busy schedule, restrict subject areas to the key skills related to the
placement of orders by phone, providing good service, and follow-up. As you deem appropriate,
use a rating system or other feedback format relevant to the subject matter.
Note: Knowledge of customer service is not being assessed in this instance. Competency is based upon the
ability to collect relevant feedback from a client in regards to Mary’s performance, in the areas outlined in the
scenario.
3. Submit all documentation to your assessor in accordance with the specifications below.
Part C: Compare feedback on performance with established team learning needs – Evaluation report
1. The feedback from Mary and the clients revealed the following issues.
Clients felt that when they had a complaint or issue to be addressed, they were unsure whether Mary would fix it. From personal experience, you have had difficulties with the filing and organization of Mary’s records. Mary said she felt ‘lost’ at times when handling complaints and issues where order mistakes had occurred. Mary also indicated a desire to improve her knowledge and ability to use spreadsheet and database programs in regards to the Microsoft Office suite of products. |
2. Based upon the information revealed by this process, identify the competencies and/or skill areas that will
provide the skill improvements Mary needs.

RTO Provider: 91153 – CRICOS Code: 02672K greenwichcollege.edu.au
3. In addition to a self-evaluation of needs when selecting courses and training modes, make further
suggestions as to how the training program’s goals, objectives and delivery modes can be collaboratively
developed and agreed upon. Ensure that you implement suggested improvements in future learning
arrangements
4. What type of training available to workplaces could provide a more valuable outcome for Mary? Consider
potential promotions, the ability to gain alternative employment and also which training will match the
specific skill requirements of competency standards relevant to Mary’s industry. Justify your response.
5. Document the answers to the above three questions in a short report and submit to your assessor in
accordance with the specifications below.
Specifications
You must submit:
a short research report which covers questions on legislation
a script to introduce self-evaluation
a written employee self-evaluation form
a written client feedback form
an evaluation report which identifies areas for employee improvement and outlines possibilities for the
collaborative development of employee training objectives.
Your assessor will be looking for:
1. evidence that you have examined the relevant anti-discrimination legislation
2. evidence of writing skills to develop forms for a specific workplace purpose and using appropriate style
3. evidence that you are able to develop rapport through oral communication
4. identification of effective and collaborative methods for motivating staff to undertake development.

Appendix 1- Case study
You are the supervisor of a relatively new and still-small leather goods import business. Your team ships orders
received mainly by phone, on a business-to-business basis to a regular client network. Mary was a foundation
employee, starting as the Administrative Officer, and looks after the front office. Originally it was planned that
this would be the limit of Mary’s duties but, as the business has developed it has been found that, as other
members of the team are usually busy with other duties, she has become the unofficial Customer Service Officer
for all clients.
The team needs Mary to look after the customers, ensure that their needs are communicated accurately to other
team members, and alert you to any unresolved issues that you need to follow up on.
Mary has become a critical part of the team and you want to make sure she feels that she has your support as
much as possible. To this end, you decide to identify and implement a training/professional development
program for Mary that will help her to handle current demands more efficiently and ensure she has the skills to
meet organizational requirements now and into the future. It is important that Mary feels motivated enough to
finish any program commenced.

are good and he consistently meets deadlines. His strong personality and his ability to articulate new information
he has briefly heard has served him well on many occasions. Graham does not like reading reports and meeting

minutes, and prefers to call/talk to a person rather than negotiate via email correspondence. Graham has been
doing this job for a number of years and is very capable in what he does. He has confided in you that he is
feeling frustrated with the same old thing each day. He would like to use his considerable skills to help others but
he does not know how to take the next step.
Maria has a similarly strong background in business and administration, and has good knowledge in all aspects
of this area. She has responsibility for maintaining the contact schedule and salespersons’ diary with customers
and suppliers. She develops customer visit schedules for the sales personnel on charts and maps which she
loves to use. Maria knows what needs to be done but sometimes overlooks tasks and directions, usually only
when they are given verbally. When a task is set with a deadline she gets results quickly. Finance is not Maria’s
favorite area and she often leaves this part of her work – including the issue of invoices – to the very last minute.
On occasion, she will work 12-hour days in order to meet deadlines and is subsequently sick for days
afterwards.
Gino consistently has the best sales record out of all the sales team. He could be described as fidgety and a
‘livewire’ but he is an extremely capable communicator. He talks fast and illustrates every point with his hands.
Gino is a very jovial and bright person. His interpersonal skills are high, and he works hard to ensure the team
stays positive and motivated, regardless of the challenges. He loves to know what everyone is up to and, as a
result, he often gets sidetracked from the task at hand and falls behind in his work. This carries on into meetings
that always go over time, as he easily gets bored. Without a strong chairperson, the team gets off course and
Gino now has a major backlog of work that he does not have time to address. He is a team player, and enjoys
seeing the team and organization meet its targets. You know that sometimes his administration can be sloppy,
as he often narrowly avoids getting his orders through to Maria late. You have noticed that Gino tends to take
copious notes when learning something new, and then never seems to refer to them again. His contribution of
communication across the organization and helping people embrace different cultures is highly valuable.
Scenario
As the supervisor of a team, your manager Seamus has come to see you to discuss the performance of your
team, and you have made the following notes.
● Customer feedback has been received stating sales personnel are always courteous, knowledgeable and
will always assist with enquiries. However, further feedback reveals sales personnel have missed
appointments.
● The finance department stated that documentation from sales has not been forthcoming on time. This has
affected the invoicing of customers and the payment of suppliers, causing the finance department to
answer calls from angry suppliers. Generally, however, when the documentation does come in, it is
correct, so very few adjustments need to be made to invoices.

You and Seamus have agreed that professional development is needed and you will analyze each situation and
report back to Seamus on how it will be organized and facilitated. He has also stated he will need to know how
you will monitor and evaluate the outcomes.
Seamus has informed you that these issues must be addressed by the end of this quarter.

Task 3: Monitor and Evaluate Training
Performance objective
You will demonstrate skills and knowledge required to monitor and evaluate workplace learning.
Assessment description
Following on from Assessment Task 2, you are required to evaluate a number of short-listed professional
development programs, develop a schedule based on one of the options, collect feedback, negotiate with a team
member on future development opportunities, and submit a report on the professional development of the team
member. Please ensure you using correct technical and organisational vocabulary.
Procedure
Part A: Plan development opportunities
1. Review the case study and profiles in Assessment Task 2. Also review the training strategy you
developed.
2. Review the following scenario.
After collecting the self-evaluation form and discussing professional development needs at a meeting with Gino, you have both agreed that you and the team require him to upgrade his time management skills. You have been advised by Seamus (and made Gino aware) that the organisation requires all issues to be addressed by the end of this quarter (eight weeks only). Four weeks from now, a review of progress – to monitor the progress of the development program and the extent of any additional development support, if needed – will be conducted by Gino and yourself. Gino has supplied you with a short-list of three courses that he believes will address his learning needs and assist him to manage the current workload he has mounting up. You will find these at Appendix 1. He is happy for you to decide which of the three programs he will attend. |
3. Select one of the three programs short-listed in Appendix 4.

RTO Provider: 91153 – CRICOS Code: 02672K greenwichcollege.edu.au
4. Read the development policy in Appendix 2. Create a training schedule for the program, and outline:
a. dates and times
b. resources
c. breakdown of costs.
5. Write a short reflection on the process you followed to develop and approve your schedule. In your
reflection:
a. explain how your chosen program meets Gino’s needs. How does this option offer a range of
development opportunities that incorporate activities and support materials appropriate to the
achievement of identified competencies?
b. explain how the program meets the needs of the organization, for example how the program is
compatible with the objectives and strategy you developed in Assessment Task 2. Explain how
proposed timelines and resources required for the learning activity satisfy organizational
requirements.
c. explain how you will obtain approval for the program. Refer to any applicable policies.
6. Submit your schedule and reflection to your assessor in accordance with the specifications outlined at the
end of this procedure.
Part B: Collect feedback from individuals
1. Review the objectives of the training strategy and consider Gino’s needs with respect to the training
program you have scheduled.
2. Create a questionnaire (on a separate sheet) that can be used by team members such as Gino to
evaluate and assess any professional development courses and/or events that they have attended. Later
in this assessment, this feedback will also be used by you to evaluate the worth of the event to the team
member and to your organisation. This will inform a meeting with the team member and a report.
3. Submit the questionnaire to your assessor in accordance with the specifications outlined at the end of this
procedure.

Part C: Assess performance, negotiate future learning and report on professional development
1. Review the following scenario
Four weeks have passed, and Gino has completed the time management course. Seamus has expressed satisfaction and noted the improvements in the performance of your team against the objectives set. All team members, with the exception of Gino, are now performing to the level required. Maria reports coaching by Graham as successful. Graham undergoing mentor and workplace coach training is of great value to developing other team members. You still have concerns with Gino’s performance. The mid-term review with Gino has also been conducted and you have made the following notes summarizing progress and concerns. ● There has been a noticeable improvement in the schedule for client visits being kept by Gino, but this morning a complaint was received regarding a meeting Gino missed. ● In his defence, Gino stated that Maria had the meeting entered on his schedule, but three fellow team members had requested his assistance that morning, which had made him late, and when he called to let the client know he was held up but on his way, they cancelled. ● Gino has demonstrated that the strategies he learnt from the time management course to address the original concerns have improved his knowledge and strategies in this area. However, concerns remain about certain situations he is experiencing in the workplace. |
2. Arrange with your assessor a time and place to role-play a meeting with Gino. Prepare to discuss Gino’s
performance and negotiate future steps to improve performance, including further professional
development within the organization’s time limit. Prepare for this meeting by considering future
professional development opportunities to suggest to Gino. Explain organisational policy and procedures
for developing teams.
3. Conduct the role-play. Ensure you conduct the meeting with Gino in a respectful and professional manner.
During the role play, ensure you get agreement from Gino on implementation of professional development
opportunities. Record these for reporting purposes.
4. Write a report on Gino’s professional development in accordance with relevant reporting policy.
a. Discuss Gino’s performance. Use at least one example
b. Discuss the professional development activities undertaken to date to develop Gino’s skills.
c. Identify gaps between Gino’s current performance and organizational needs.
