When transforming a business, it is important that staff engage in retraining by upskilling in line with strategic priorities, such as by acquiring new technological skills or developing new ways of working. Continuous learning programs will support employee development when transforming a business. One example is the career development of employees, which enables them to update their skills and knowledge along with a future focus for career planning.

Identify and explain a possible performance management outcome when transforming a business. Include an explanation of the role of performance management in your response.

Performance management reviews the overall performance of a business and its human resources requirements to ascertain how goals can be better reached. A possible outcome from the performance management review is redundancy. Redundancy is determined during a performance management review process where a position within an organisation may no longer be required as a result of business transformation.

Using an example, describe one operating environmental factor that could influence a business manager to initiate change.

An external operating environmental factor that could influence a business manager to initiate change is the business’s customers. A business must continually ensure that its customers’ needs are being met. It also needs to respond quickly, changing the way it operates to satisfy its customers.

Explain two circumstances, using examples, in which legislative compliance would drive change for a business in the post-maturity stage.

Changes in legislation may change business operations. For example, workplace safety laws may change. This would require businesses' current operating policies or processes to be rewritten, or physical changes to the premises to ensure compliance, e.g. PPE or fire safety.

Businesses must also adhere to governing body industry regulations or standards. A business may need to transform human resources to reflect changed professional qualification requirements to be licensed in an industry, e.g. real estate agents.
