Just need to know what FWA does and why they were formed.

Thanks a lot. I want sure how in depth I had to go.
What about types of dispute resolution?
And the differences between awards and collective agreements. I think I know the differences and similarities but I want to know how they compare to everyone else's.

[Mafioso]

What exactly does FWA do and what are the roles of unions in centralised and decentralised HRM?

Fair work Australia ensure are set up by the federal government but act independently.
They ensure that both parties are abiding by the law. They also set the minimum wage for Australia's lowest paid workers.

In a decentralized system unions represent the employees in efforts to improve wages and working conditions. I dint know what they do in a centralized system since wages and working conditions are set by the government.

[janson34]

centralized system is where there is a centralized body being the AIRC, determining wages and conditions of employees in an industry FOR the employee.. i think

I've never heard of fair work commission only fair work Australia.
Controlling is the process of evaluating organizational performance and taking corrective action when needed.
Whilst planning is the process of setting objectives and the strategies to achieve these objectives.
Where they differ is that planning is the setting of the objective whilst controlling is the evaluating of how well the objective was achieved.

Did that help?

Question: Do you guys define the key words before you start a question?

Alright all good thanks! Yes I think it did, but I think I've seen like a 4 marker about controlling, so would you basically define controlling itself, the difference between controlling and planning, and I know theres a 4 step process for controlling, and perhaps the need for it?

There are 3 steps in the controlling process not 4.
1. Establish standards
2. Monitor result
3. Make changes when necessary

And yeah depending on what the question is asking. If it says compare then you have to explain the similarities and differences.

Ohhhhh gg my textbook says 4 LOL they have the third step as identifying and investigating and deviations to the implemented plan?
But yep thanks, I think I've sort of got it now!

Yup, unless I am really running out of time ! (:

[Damoz.G]

Yup, I also define key terms straight away. I think you are supposed to do it though - Not optional.

4! LUCKY!
I have 6.

- Establish performance standards
- Determine methods to measure performance (Performance Indicators)
- Measure actual performance
- Compare actual performance with established standards
- Take corrective action to rectify any discrepancies.
- Review performance standards.

If your textbook says a different number of steps to another text book its usually OK to use either. One is typically an expanded version. for example policy development is actually a 6-step process, however our textbook has 9 steps.
