QUESTION 1 In a meeting with the Director of Human Resource, the Human Resource (HR) Clerk
outlined the challenges she has been experiencing in her role: “When I started in this position,
the Office Manager did not clearly explain my responsibilities, so I have often been uncertain
exactly what I should prioritise. I also do not receive much guidance or feedback, so I am never
sure whether I am handling my work effectively. In addition to processing employee records and
applications, I am often asked to answer the main office telephone, even though this duty is
normally assigned to the receptionist. I also lose time walking through the building to scan and
send HR documents to other departments, which slows my progress. In addition to this, staff
members regularly ask me to make copies of training or policy materials for them, and I usually
stop what I am doing to fulfil those requests.” 1.1 Identify (5 marks) and describe the types of
