HRM3703 Assignment 2 Semester 1 | Due 1 April 2025. All questions answered. Question 1 1. Jonathan and Sizzile work in the HR Department at Ultimate ScrubsHub, a company that supplies hospital and theatre clothing for the medical industry. The company has expanded over the last two years, and they now employ more than 350 staff members. They want to lighten the burden on the HR Department and streamline HR processes and they have decided to move away from Excel Spreadsheets and other mechanisms for manual record-keeping and they are aiming to implement an HRIS. The Board of Directors recognises that needs analysis will have to be done. They ask Jonathan and Sizzile to prepare a presentation to explain what the needs analysis and needs analysis planning would entail as the first phase. Jonathan and Sizzile ask your help to prepare a draft presentation outlining needs analysis planning (4 marks – ½ marks are awarded) and the key role players in the needs analysis for Ultimate ScrubsHub. When identifying the key role players, use the information in Table 3.1 in the 5th edition of the prescribed book. Identify four role players for each activity in the needs analysis planning (8 marks – ½ marks are awarded). Question 2 2. Read the case study at the end of Chapter 4 in the 5th edition of your prescribed book for HRM3703. Use the information in chapter 4 of your prescribed book together with the additional information about RFPs that we provided in Lesson 04 and the information below to prepare a brief outline of the content to be included in the RFP that Larson Property Management has to make available to the HRIS vendors to acquire an HRIS with an applicant tracking system (ATS) for their staffing process that will address their specific needs (9 marks, ½ marks are awarded). Remember that the outline that you have to prepare is aimed at the HRIS vendors. Management wants the new system up and running before 30 June 2025 and it should be able to integrate with the current HRIS system that the company has recently adopted. The HR Director is of the opinion that one month would be sufficient for testing before full roll-out. Pretend that you are working at Larson Property Management in their HR Department. The HR and IT team has already established the following, the HRIS design will occur in two phases logical and physical design. In terms of the physical design the HR business process will include identifying vacancies and getting these approved, determine what is required in these positions, advertise these positions and recruit potential applicants, keep track of these applicants during the recruitment and selection process, choose the most suitable applicants from the pool of applicants by means of interview (after shortlisting); and lastly choosing the right applicants to fill the vacancies and then integrating them into Larson Property Management. Typical HR processes that will be involved include: HR planning, job analysis, recruitment, tracking applicants, selection, job offers and keeping record during all these steps. When considering the physical design, Larson Property Management will have to look at the complete staffing process and this will help them to establish all the requirements needed, for example workflow, how to keep track of the process on the Web while enabling Web advertisements and job seekers to apply for the positions. Question 3 3. Refer to Larson Property Management in Question 2 above. Assume that Larson Property Management has now decided on a suitable vendor, and they want to start using their chosen system. Can they just acquire and implement the system, or would there be more steps to follow? Use the information in chapter 5 of the prescribed book (5th edition) to advise your colleagues at Larson Property Management on the above. Provide a detailed discussion and apply this to the specific ATS that Larson Property Management would like to implement (10 marks, ½ marks are allocated).

 Question 1

1. Jonathan and Sizzile work in the HR Department at Ultimate ScrubsHub, a company that
supplies hospital and theatre clothing for the medical industry. The company has expanded over
the last two years, and they now employ more than 350 staff members. They want to lighten the
burden on the HR Department and streamline HR processes and they have decided to move
away from Excel Spreadsheets and other mechanisms for manual record-keeping and they are
aiming to implement an HRIS. The Board of Directors recognises that needs analysis will have to
be done. They ask Jonathan and Sizzile to prepare a presentation to explain what the needs
analysis and needs analysis planning would entail as the first phase. Jonathan and Sizzile ask
your help to prepare a draft presentation outlining needs analysis planning (4 marks – ½ marks
are awarded) and the key role players in the needs analysis for Ultimate ScrubsHub. When
identifying the key role players, use the information in Table 3.1 in the 5th edition of the
prescribed book. Identify four role players for each activity in the needs analysis planning (8
marks – ½ marks are awarded).

Introduction
As Ultimate ScrubsHub continues to grow, the HR Department faces increasing challenges in
managing employee records and processes efficiently. To address these challenges, the company is
transitioning from manual record-keeping systems to a Human Resource Information System (HRIS).
The first critical step in this transition is conducting a thorough needs analysis, which will help
identify the organization's specific requirements and ensure the selected HRIS aligns with business
objectives. This presentation outlines the needs analysis planning process and identifies key role
players involved in this phase.

Understanding Needs Analysis
Needs analysis is a systematic approach to identifying gaps between current HR processes and the
desired future state with an HRIS. It ensures that the new system effectively addresses organizational
needs, improves efficiency, and supports long-term business goals (Johnson et al., 2021). Without a
proper needs analysis, there is a risk of investing in an HRIS that fails to meet operational
requirements, leading to inefficiencies and financial losses.

Needs Analysis Planning Process
Needs analysis planning involves organizing and structuring the analysis to ensure a smooth and
effective evaluation. Key activities include defining objectives and scope, assembling a needs
analysis team, establishing timelines and budgets, developing a communication plan, and securing
management commitment. Each of these activities requires collaboration among stakeholders to
ensure alignment with organizational goals.
