The number of employees in the company ranges from 500 to 800. The sales turnover of the company was $28 million. However, the company suffered a loss of $4.4million in the year 2021. It is mainly because of the impact of covid-19 on the hospitality sector. In order to overcome the losses, it becomes essential for the company to develop a strategic business plan to become profitable in the next fiscal year. The expansion of business to other parts of Australia would help in building brand image and attract new customers. Tasmania has an ideal climatic condition for the production of Coffee and beverage products.

Email Communication Template <Oliver’s Real Food Limited> <5th March, 2022> Subject: Seeking advice on environmental analysis To: Steven Metter, Non-executive Director Dear Director, The primary reason for writing this letter is to seek advice for conducting an internal and external environmental analysis for the purpose of expansion of business in Hobart, Tasmani. The PESTLE analysis has revealed that the company will have to ensure minimum wage payment for our staff and fulfill the essential licensing requirements to run a restaurant in Tasmania. However, the analysis does not provide us the opportunity to understand the areas which require attention for the efficient delivery of service. The technological factors that may have a major impact on our operation is in relation with the process of communication within the organization. It is necessary to have a proper communication pattern within the newly established business in Tasmania.

Oliver’s Real Food Limited Strategy Brief
The business strategy has been developed to improve organizational performance and achieve huge profits. The KPI’s will be used to assess the employee performance based on predetermined standards and timeframe. The Acceptable standard for the general managers is that the restaurant and book store would generate revenue of $800,000 in a quarterly basis with 70% of customers giving positive feedback on the services delivered. The Store managers are expected to report a revenue of $40,000 on a monthly basis. The cashier is expected to prepare 150 invoices on a daily basis. For the efficiency of Bartender, the turnover rate of 10% is expected. The number of unsatisfied customers for each server should not be more than 5 in a week. The servers are expected to maintain cleanliness and proper communication with the customers. |
Scenario: Assume that there had been several WH&S breaches and minor incidents in the new organisational premise/branch where there are approximately 40 individuals working on each day. This is because the new staff members were not trained in regard to Work Health and Safety issues. In addition, the old members who have transferred from your original office are not practising the WH&S procedures of the organisation adequately.
1. Based on the WH&S Act 2011, identify the following: What type of training (for example, refresher course) is required in the new premises/location/branch. How many people needs to have a first aid certificate? What requirements do you have in regard to safety committee? What type of safety procedures should you have? Which external organisation (third party) will you hire for the WH&S training? What would be the costs?
|
Some of the training that is required for the employees at new branch are as follows: · Workplace orientation training. · Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety · Accident reporting procedures. · Fire safety and emergency procedures · Safe use of workplace tools, equipment and machinery. Around 25 people among the employees required training to work with safety within the organization. About twenty people are in need of first aid certificate. A safety manager is required within the organization. The company would hire trainers from TasTAFE organization for providing training courses to managers and staffs (TaTAFE, 2022). It will cost around $50,000 for all the employees. |
Prepare a 300 report for your Director at Sydney office mentioning the system failures and WH&S failures and incidents and explain your case for WH&S training and WH&S Management Systems. You are also required to explain the variances that will be required to the strategic business due to these additional time, effort and expenses for implementing Work Health & Safety Management Systems.
|
Email to Director Oliver’s Real Food Limited 30th April, 2022 Subject: WH&S System failures and related incidents Dear Director, There have been some system failures in regard to WH&S within our new premises. Please find the report below:
Thanks. |
Develop Performance Objectives For The Expansion And Growth
This section includes a scenario after the operations have started in Hobart/chosen location.
Scenario: After 4 weeks of operations in Hobart (chosen) branch you have realised that there are several areas of concerns within the implementation of the business plan. First of all, you find in performance reports databases that there are several failures in meeting performance objectives.
The performance report indicates that the average rating scale for the staff was 3.82 out of 5. The Hobart branch has failed to achieve the desired objective of earning revenue of more than $3 million during the first year. In addition, the absenteeism is a serious concern for the organization, as the staff members were not punctual in the past 4 weeks.
In addition, the customer database and feedback report suggest that only 55% of the customers are giving positive feedback against the targeted 70% for the first year. The facility of the organization fails to provide a comfortable environment to the customers in the last 4 weeks. However, the company is able to increase the customer base through efficient marketing strategy and its brand image.
