Instructions:

Assuming you are the Senior HR Executive for MiningCo, which operates in a range of isolated locations with many fly-in, fly-out staff on a rotating two-week roster basis. Analyse and reflect on the following 3 interrelated scenarios:

Case 1: You are taskes with researching the impact of introducing performance management initiative on the motivation of staff in your location. you are to make recommendations to the board, specifically on how the proposed initiative will impact on their decisions moving forward
Case 2: MiningCo has a problem-each isolated site operates as a single entity and there is very little cross-over or staff rotation between them. The economic crisis in Greece and the increasing impact if the presence of ISIS in the Middle East on foreign nationals is resulting in many senior executives onite wishing to leave. You will need to make recommendations to the board for how to curb any hysteria that ensues.
Case 3: You need to put together a crisis management team to manage the event that any substantial talent gap emerges at any individual site. you will need to decide on the selection criteria, the format, structure and function of the team and how you would reward them.

Following your analysis, present your findings and recommendations in a report addressed to the MiningCo board.
