Task:

You are required to write a business report on the connection between the strategic and operational plans and employee relations objectives. Read the Appendix A: Fynntown City Council Case Study. Read and consider the following additional information for Fynntown City Council (FCC): Employee relations objectives The next two years are likely to be years of uncertainty and Councillors had implemented a policy to downsize the organisation’s employee numbers in the short- to medium-term to manage this risk. Since the redundancy program, the workforce numbers have dropped by 20 percent overall, but by 67 percent amongst those with tenure of more than 15 years. As this process happened very rapidly, without adequate process documentation, there has been a significant loss of knowledge within FCC. Consequently, the remaining staff, many of whom have had less than two years’ tenure, are feeling significant levels of stress and absenteeism has tripled in the last four months. Consider the long-term employee relations (ER) objectives. The report must be structured in the following way:
