This can be made through on the job training methods which involve Job instructional technique in which step by step procedure is explained to employee for delivery his job performance. This will enhance efficiency of employee for offering products to customers (Pérez-Fuentes, et. al., 2020). Next method is job rotation in which employee shall be made to work in different scenarios and diverse sections so as to learn each technique of effective performance delivery. Third method is lecture and conferences in which employee is given instructions regarding delivery of performance in a specialised technique.

Nature Care products
Sub: Acknowledging about staff training, usage record and customer questionnaire
Kindly note that as management of Nature Care products is planning to expand its operations in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, three risks have been found in implementing effective performance in new stores which involve unsuitability in employing qualified staff, unsustainable workplace due to high use of resources and less customer satisfaction. Kindly review report made concerning training provided to staff for effective performance delivery, mechanisms developed regarding sustainable use of resources and risks identified and customer questionnaire formulated for assessing satisfaction of customers. I am attaching all three documents for your valuable feedback.
Thanking you,
Operations Manager
- Write a risk monitoring report.
Through studying risk monitoring report it can be said that as targets were set by company to reduce 20% of electricity intake within three months, it has achieved to reduce consumption by more than 20% which is a kind of achievement. But slowly and gradually it was witnessed that company was moving towards increase of consuming energy resources and bill was increasing (So, et. al., 2018). Hence it has to devise plans to reduce its usage. Company must adopt some sustainable techniques such as use of 3R’s, using environmental friendly materials and learning power of ‘off’.
Through analysing staff survey results memo it was seen that obstacles were find concerning unclear role of employees which they were uninformed about, no reward and appreciation framework, no provision of adequate training and ineffective communication between staff and management.
Hence this should be brought in concern and must be resolved on earlier basis (Burzoni, et. al., 2020). Moreover, from analysis of sales data memo it can be said that there is no doubt that sales have increased on an estimated basis by 20% in six month period but sales have been found at lower amount at Melbourne store in comparison with Brisbane and Sydney store. Therefore some of effective marketing techniques must be implemented for increasing sales and training must be provided to manager for dealing with customers.
Through analysis of customer survey results it can be stated that high number of customers are satisfied from services of Nature care products in terms of quality of product and other factors. Still company needs to devise some effective mechanisms to make products popular among consumers which can include offering discount deals, quality products, easy availability and other effective options.
As per analysis of performance review results memo of two managers who were earlier customer service representatives afterwards elected as manager, it can be stated that Jamie who was appointed as manager of Brisbane is meeting requirements in all parameters hence she should be appreciated (Musu, et. al., 2016). In case of Sasha who is serving a manager at Sydney store is also above average but she needs to be provided training as in terms of adaptability and daily decision making she is little bit ineffective and inefficient. Hence induction must be arranged for her.

- Discuss the purpose of risk management standards. Include an example of a risk management standard in your answer.
Risk management standards were developed to provide guidance for those who are required to conduct risk management processes. These standards are intended to provide a global agreement on how to handle such risks and advise on how to cope with others in best practice. Risk management standards enable organizations to implement effective and tested methods.
Examples of standards for risk management include ISO 31000:2009, ISO/IEC31010:2009 and ISO guide 73:2009 which are created to help guide organizations with various risk management aspects. FERMA has also established its own risks management system, as well as the common ISO standards, that provide guidance for all processes, from the identification of risks to the transition of some risk to another group (Hopkin, 2018).

- Risk assessment promotes the organisation’s performance growth.
- Explain the requirements of WHS legislation in relation to risk management.
WHS legislation requires clear instructions on the handling of risks to health and safety for individuals with duties under the WHS Act and Regulations. The responsibility is enforced by individuals operating a company or organisation, including bosses, independent personnel, main contractors, staff, builders, managers and suppliers of factories, substances or systems for use at work. This Specification extends to all working conditions under the WHS Act and all forms of workplaces. For guidelines on risk management of specific hazards, other accepted procedure codes should be cited (Hubbard, 2020).
- List the factors that must be taken into account in determining risk control measures for hazardous manual tasks as stated in the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011.
The main factors of risk that are identified in the Health and Safety Regulations 2011: „
- Workspace architecture and construction
- The environment in which the manual task is done, scale, weight, or amount of items handled. Such risk factors can also exacerbate the mission and therefore raise the likelihood of MSD (Tupa, et. al., 2017).
- Explain the purpose of risk management policies and procedures in the workplace.
Risk management policies and procedures provide for a Structure for risk management and also enable managers and risk monitoring officers to better recognise, identify and control risks within their areas in order to raise overall awareness of risk across the council. It helps to improve ownership of land. It identifies functions and duties to ensure an awareness of the risk management process. It provides guidance on best practises and outlines the various components to be handled in order to include the risk management methodology in each stage of the council (Glendon, et. al., 2016).
- List three examples of the impact of risks for a workplace if risks are not identified or actioned.
Three risk potential impacts might be disruption of operations, lack of investor trust, or fines, and reimbursement for employee problems.
- Outline a step-by-step procedure that companies can use for analysing risks.
Step 1: Recognize the business risk
Step 2: Analysing the risk
Step 3: Risks must be prioritised and classified
Step 4: It needs to eliminate as much as possible
Step 5: Reviewing and monitoring the risk
- Outline three sources of information that a company could use to gather information on potential risks.
Brainstorming: A network of individuals focussed on determining the danger for the project is engaged in brainstorming.
Delphi Technique: An informal team of practitioners is contacted. An expert will receive a list of facts, answers will be gathered and responses will be sent out for further analysis before consensus is achieved (Almeida, et. al., 2017).
Interviewing: Project managers, partners, consultants, etc. may be consulted in order to assess risks.
- Describe three examples of tools or techniques that a company could use to identify risks as part of a risk assessment process.
Tools and techniques involve:
SWOT Analysis: For the project, strengths and disadvantages are identified and risk is also identified (Sweeting, 2017).
Checklist Analysis: The Vulnerability Group Checklist is used to define potential project threats.
Risk register: It contains past evidence for future projects.
- Explain four options that a company could take to control risks.
Avoidance: But it is important to remember that nothing is earned, and so often for many organisations that is not a realistic option.
Reduction: In relation to the potential return on investment, risk reduction methods must be weighed. If the cost of reducing the risk outweighs the cost of an event, it needs to decide if it pays off.
Transfer: Risk transfer is a practical risk management approach because it recognises that incidents occur sometimes but ensures that the company is prepared to handle the consequences of these eventualities (Rampini, et. al., 2020).
Acceptance: Often those who think the risk transfer or decrease expense unreasonable or needless choose this choice.
- Explain four procedures that a company could use to minimise risk.
Four procedures to minimise risk are as follows:
- It can be expanded the offerings of the business
- By reviewing the internal controls of the existing system.
- By creating a risk management plan.
- By managing finance.

- New technologies and sectors to be found.
PESTLE Analysis
Political Factors: The political conditions in Australia will have a positive influence on natural care goods as the government agreed to sustainable businesses and the environment. the laws and regulations of the country in which the business is operating. The most recent elections resulted in an increasingly business-growing Liberal Government that promoted tax cuts and other facilities for small and large businesses. The latest news polling suggests a further triumph for the Reform Government who will promote the potential spending of $150,000 in natural health care (Aven, 2016).
Economic Factors: The economic considerations include the exchange rates in the country in which the company operates. In contrast to the other western European economies, Australia has a high per capita GDP economy. Australia’s natural resources are strong and foreign investments are also attracting.
Social factors: The social factors describe social-technical trends. Modern culture is more eco-friendly in skincare goods, to keep skin hygienic. In this environment, culture seeks to use the best most natural forms to preserve the flesh. Culture creates highly organic and natural goods in the business.Based on today’s view and thinking of the skincare industry, the demand for natural care products is higher than for other products available. The most interested are most likely women aged 25-55 years.
Technological Factors: In today’s world, technology is influential in all life sectors. Trust and acknowledgement in a company such as natural care play an important part in the company’s advancement and development. The company looks forward always in developing its products and introduces new and innovative products and meet the customer’s needs.It is easier to make a strong relationship with the customer by providing technology. Technology provides a fundamental means between the enterprise and customers, adequacy of facilities to all new products easy and updated marketing materials easy. Anyone can easily access the Company’s website and the company’s technical team aims always to keep them updated with no faults and failures (Behzadi, et. al., 2018).
A Customer Relationship Management System (CRM), is an integral part of all departments of marketing, sales and business development.CRM from small businesses into large companies CRM is highly necessary to develop and sustain relationships with customers and to sustain an exemplary customer relationship management framework.
Legal Factors: The company Naturecare expanded quite quickly, and also established a number of rivals. In order to remain on the market, to retain its revenues, and not to lose its clients, it must comply with all the laws of its government. Today’s citizens are well aware of the ethical implications. Since the business is regulated by certain laws, it is very necessary that all specifications are fulfilled and that its goods are produced to comply with all relevant laws.Australian Consumer Law ( ACL) governs food protection in Australia. The Business and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA) timetable contains the ACL. In-state and federal fair trade law, similar clauses can also be included (DuHadway, et. al., 2019).
Environmental Factors: The environmental considerations have contributed to many national environmental protection regulations that would conform to universal requirements. The earth has vowed to save the environment from toxins and beauty. Both international brands, therefore, have a role to play in communicating support to the world. Besides, Nature Protection will help promote those efforts and meet with international requirements. In Queensland, Australia, the company is one of the pioneers in the world of skincare. The external and internal variables that influence the business as a whole can therefore be known better. The variables previously alluded to explain the brand study.Therefore, incorporating these considerations in the formulation of organisational strategies is indeed a smart policy. Similarly, the company’s future strategies could be enforced in line with market trends.

Internal and external stakeholder analysis
Internal stakeholders include employees, manager and internal supervisors.
External stakeholders include external advisors, risk audits, risk consultants, and Government organisations. The above stakeholders will be responsible for the risk assessment process both internally and externally. They must be able to assess danger and the exact character of a problem. They must be able to look critically at the situation and be able to express whatever recommendations have on risk management.The challenge is for them to negotiate transparently about how they want knowledge to be shared (Wiengarten, et. al., 2016).
Strengths and weaknesses
Factors |
Strength |
Weakness |
Costs |
With a good financial condition, the company is well-founded |

Profits |
It can afford to grow the company to $150,000. |
These businesses have already been well-established and are also financially stable. |
Inventory |
With women aged 25-55, the company targets about 42 million of the female population at this age, making it an enormous market for JAPAN. |
The organisation manufactures no goods for adults, children and teenagers. In a place such as Australia, where temperatures are too hot in summer, the business doesn’t manufacture sunscreens or creams. |
Competition |

5. Develop a Risk Management Plan
- A) Likelihood: The next step, after the risk is identified, is to calculate the possibility of leveraging possible vulnerabilities. Many considerations must be taken into consideration as this probability is calculated. Firstly, the investigator must understand the threat’s nature, the motive behind the threat and nature’s ability. Further, auditors shall identify the extent of the vulnerability and, ultimately, to prevent or minimise vulnerability, the status and effectiveness of existing inspections. It can be defined as high, medium or low the probability of a possible weakness (Zou, et. al., 2016).
According to the Case Study, there are:
- Financial Risk: Around the same time, consumer diversification and demand for current goods needs vast quantities of cash flow for research and growth, marketing, promotions and the expansion of the market, which can lead to financial pinch. It’s a big and potential possibility.
- Inefficient resource usage:Since management recommends that retail goods are distributed at the right location. It is really important at the right time and in the right place. Any failure of the supply chain would negatively affect consumers.
- Low customer satisfaction with customer service: Another risk that is identified is related to customer satisfaction. It is really important to meet up with the customer demands in order to fulfil their satisfaction.
- By-law Compliance Risk:As far as cosmetics and associated products are concerned, the Department of F&D takes extreme care except with mild side effects. Another challenging subject is registration.
- B) Consequence: Failure to deal with the risk will lead to implications ranging from simple drawbacks to serious risks. The ultimate effect is devastating, major, minimal and negligible.
- The catastrophic risk is greater than $x, reputation damage on the international scene and long-term environmental damage, such as multiple injuries, regulatory intervention, loss of revenue or asset.
- Significant risks include human athletes, infringements of permits, laws, statutory or required requirements, loss of net profits and/or harm to properties from $xxx, reputational risk at national and medium-term environmental risk (1-5yr) (American Diabetes Association, 2016).
- Minor danger such as violation of internal policies, net income loss or damage to properties to up to $x$xxx, unfavourable media coverage and environmental losses of up to $250,000.
- Minor risks such as no violation of permits, regulations, rules or audit results relevant to the risk; net sales loss or harm to properties $x, public knowledge, but little consumer complaints and minor environmental impacts.

Fundamentally there are three types of training options available which include Instructor – Led training, e-learning and management specific trainings. In order to attain the better and effective outcomes. Management effective training is related to the various kinds of the specific management activities which include the training related to the leadership skills, problem solving skills etc. Instructor led training refers to the process in which the companies hire well qualified trainers to train their employees and to provide the complete and effective approach to answer individual employees directly or indirectly. These trainers are insisted and provided with the option to train the organization staff at their own working style and culture.

Undertake an inspection of head office
Head office inspection was carried out while considering the various aspects such as poor air quality, ergonomics and noise. Quality of air plays one of the most important part in the inspection of head office. This aspect provides the detailed information related to the humidity, air pressure, bacteria, values or percentage of oxygen and other gases within the air. Noise plays another important role in the inspection of head office as the noise in the surroundings can increate tension and stress level of the employees that could result in downfall in individual employee’s performance. The last aspect of head office inspection is ergonomics. This aspect also plays an important role in the inspection; this provides the complete information related to the lightning in the environment, health products and kits, sitting plan and more. Clearance of these aspects helps an organisation to achieve high quality and effective performance with the assigned task to the employees of the organisation.

A copy of this page must be supplied to the office and kept in the student’s file with the evidence.
1. Develop a risk management evaluation report
A. Evaluate the overall risk management process.
Risk identification is a complex process because it calls for a thorough review and understanding of organisational processes, procedures and specifications. The level of trust is strong because the internal employees provided information and feedback used as direct input to the risk report. the risk identification structure is very accurate.
- Was it easy or difficult to identify risks?
The recognition of the risk factors was not that complicated.
- Was staff input (at the meeting) helpful?
Yes, staff input is helpful as I was able to collect additional information and contribute to the study by using the feedback from the staff meeting.
- How confident are you that all the risks have been identified?
I am very sure that myself and the meeting have defined both threats.
B. Consider whether the process indicated in the Nature Care Products’ current Risk Management Policy and Procedures is sufficient to guide the risk management process used for the business expansion project. Explain why or why not.
The method suggested in NatureCare Goods was partly necessary, since the main factors were established by a PESTLE analysis. It influences and then adds to the world in which NatureCare Products works in the risk study. The intern employees focused on the new management role problem, which is a highly efficient method for detecting risk. The main concern was that the performance management system was postponed and it became impossible to track the workers’ output as they entered the new roles (Giannakisand Papadopoulos, 2016).
C. Explain whether the principles of risk management in the Nature Care Products risk management policy and the procedure is consistent with AS/NZS ISO31000:2009 Risk Management Principles and Guidance.
In compliance with AS / NZS ISO31000:2009, risk control standards and procedures in the Nature Care product risk management policies and procedures have been introduced. When internal personnel worked during the whole risk assessment process, the coordination was seen to be a core component of the risk recognition, review and tracking phase. The company also acknowledged and included the contribution of new hires with a detailed knowledge of the organization’s policies and practices, to the full recognition and assessment of risk processes (Bodnar, et. al., 2019).
D. What changes would you recommend to the risk management process?
My recommendation is that an external expert better determines the risk mechanism. They will help recognise danger globally and, in this case, the problem with new opening companies does not just arise in a single region. Furthermore, the analyst has an impartial viewpoint that can be used without discrimination or advantage by the internal workers to handle conversations and arguments about risk within an enterprise.
Secondly, Collaboration & Communication Management, often administrators feel that their task is completed if they interact directly with their workers. There are also many reasons why workers are reluctant to hear or comprehend what their supervisors first say (American Diabetes Association, 2017).
Initial communication is generally directed at raising the consciousness of market factors and consequences of transition. Equally, communications should be structured at each stage of the process to communicate the relevant signals at the right time. Consequently, marketing strategy starts with a thorough review of the target, main messaging and scheduling. A coordination program meeting the needs of front-line personnel, managers, and executives must be developed by the progress management committee or by project leaders. Each audience must have specific information needs based on their role in carrying out the transition.
