Respond and engage constructively with at least two of your peers FreshFirst Canning
Canning Company, FreshFirst Canning is opening a new factory in the state of Queensland.
The company has three other factories – two in Victoria and one in New South Wales. All
employees in the existing factories are unionised, covered by a major manufacturing union.
Those factories operate on the basis of traditional assembly-line organisation of work, with
strong, centralised management control. Those factories have strict seniority arrangements
for pay, promotion and redundancies.
The new Queensland plant is a greenfield site and will be organised around a highcommitment work system. All work in the administration section and on the shop floor will be
organised on the basis of teams of multi-skilled workers. It is expected that performance
levels will be higher and absenteeism and turnover levels will be lower than in the existing
factories. HRM101ADiscussionForumWeek4T1-17.docx Page 1 of 2 The HR department, based in the company’s head office in Melbourne, has advertised for
180 production workers for the new plant. The HR department is interviewing workers from
the company’s other factories around Australia to determine their willingness and readiness
to accept employment in the new Queensland factory. They have also received a total of 500
applications from the external labour market.
The CEO has requested advice from the HR department on the best way to determine the
terms and conditions of employment for employees at the new Queensland factory.
Questions
1. If you were part of the HR department, what advice would you give the CEO?
2. What will be the consequences of the various options for industrial relations and
human resource management within the company?
