Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

assessment of written reports on HRIS specification, selection and implementation

implementation plan for an HRIS and associated management skills to oversee transition and implementation of a new HRIS

knowledge of the types of HRIS available and their respective capabilities and limitations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to appropriate documentation and resources normally used in the workplace.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

assessment of written reports on HRIS implementation

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

review of documentations about user information requirements

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of HRIS capabilities

evaluation of implementation plan

review of documentation outlining feedback from users about the system.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

other units from the Diploma of Human Resource Management.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

literacy skills to write specifications for systems

people management skills to work with contractors or staff who will be implementing the HRIS

planing and organising skills to transition the HRIS

technology skills to ensure suitability of software for organisational requirements.

Required knowledge

monitoring, measuring and evaluation techniques for a range of human resource management functions

procurement procedures, including preparation of a technical brief

types of HRIS that are available and their respective capabilities and limitations.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Information requirements include:

career development

employee relations and industrial relations

employee support

human resources development

legislative requirements

organisational development

performance management

recruitment, selection and induction

re-deployment of employees

termination of employees

workforce planning

Draft information systems management plan includes:

proposed system objectives, methods of management, timeframes and other criteria

specification of system requirements for the purposes of selecting appropriate systems to manage the information

Relevant groups and individuals means:

all those who have a role in the implementation of policies, procedures or decisions and/or are affected by their implementation

Cost benefit analysis means:

calculation to determine whether the results/outcomes of a particular course of action are sufficient to justify the costs and risks in taking that action

Risk analysis means:

determination of the likelihood of a negative event preventing the organisation meeting its objectives and the likely consequences of such an event on organisational performance

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
