problems: (Answer must be between 60-80 words for each policy)
Anti-discrimination policy
Conflict resolution policy
C.) Briefly explain the following legislation which helps in addressing and avoiding problems in the
workplace: (Answer must be between 80-100 words for each policy)
B.) Anti-discrimination Policy: Anti-Discrimination Policy is used to mark the boundaries that
protects the employees from any kind of discrimination at the workplace. It is not only limited to
employees, it is applicable to everyone be it employees, clients, or any other person.
Conflict Resolution Policy: This policy is used to provide freedom to employees to raise a
complaint regarding any issue at their workplace regarding any problems they are facing. It is
applicable to all employees.
Conflict Resolution Policy: Conflict resolution involves the discovery of a peaceful and mutually
agreeable resolution to a disagreement or dispute. Listening, comprehending, and valuing diverse
perspectives, needs, and interests, and seeking agreement or compromise is key. Implementing a
conflict resolution policy and training can offer numerous advantages for staff growth. This entails
giving clear instructions and standards for managing and avoiding workplace conflicts, providing
assistance and resources for employees impacted by conflicts, establishing a safe and respectful
atmosphere, boosting employee contentment, involvement, and retention, and strengthening the
13 | P a g e

organization's reputation and performance.
C.) Disability Discrimination Act 1992: The DDA of 1992 prohibits discrimination based on
disability in various public aspects like employment, education, services, housing, and public
spaces. It applies to individuals with various disabilities, including temporary and permanent
disabilities, across different categories. It includes disabilities that individuals have experienced
previously and may experience in the future, along with assumed disabilities. The DDA safeguards
individuals with disabilities from discrimination if they are supported by an assistant, interpreter,
or reader; are guided by a trained animal like a guide, hearing, or assistance dog; or utilize
equipment like a wheelchair or hearing aid.
Fair Work Act 2009: The Fair Work Act is one of the primary federal laws that oversee the
employment of older workers. It establishes the terms and conditions of work and outlines the
rights and duties of employees, employers, and employee organizations regarding that work. The
Fair Work Act governs employers and employees within the 'national system'. Employment
outside the national industrial relations system continues to be governed by the appropriate state
industrial relations systems. Nevertheless, certain benefits granted by the Fair Work Act also apply
to employees who are not covered by the national system. The legislation also sets up a system
for ensuring compliance and enforcement, as well as creating various entities such as Fair Work
Australia (FWA) and the FWO to oversee the Act.
There are several parts of the Fair Work Act that offer potential opportunities to address legal
obstacles for mature age workers to participate, for which the ALRC suggests solutions. Some of
these consist of:
1. The entitlement to ask for flexible work schedules;
2. Contemporary accolades;
3. Provisions regarding notification of end of employment; and
4. The provisions for general protections.
A.) What is meant by creative and critical thinking? (Answer must be between 40-60 words)

Q2. A.) Creative thinking is presenting an original and freshly thought idea that can be useful in any
situation. Examples could be joining waste parts to form something new, thinking of an answer etc.
Critical thinking is presenting already thought idea in a clear manner for better understanding.
Examples can be interpreting any situation, summarizing some work etc.
B.) Brainstorming: Brainstorming is a creative thinking technique that is used to generate new
ideas and solutions between teams or larger groups of people. It can be used for quicker results. It
is a process where people can think without the fear of judgement. It leads to welcoming of
different perspectives.
Mind Mapping: Mind mapping is a technique used to think about ideas without worrying about the
not in any particular order or structure. It is basically a diagram about a particular topic consisting
of pictures, texts, concepts etc. giving an insight what is going on in your mind related to it. It helps
a person in decision making, note taking, presentations etc.
Storyboarding: It is process of arranging the ideas that are thought by people in your preferred
manner. It helps the person understand the solution to something by sequencing the ideas. It can
include presentations, speeches, etc.

strategies that could help the organization even more.
A.) Briefly explain the five steps involved in the decision-making process. (Answer must be between
250-300 words)
B.) Briefly explain how the following barriers impact the decision-making of the organisation:
(Answer must be between 70-100 words)
Lack of time
Lack of resources
Conflict
4A.) Decision making process is a crucial aspect for every organisation. By following good
decision making process, a business can make heaps of profits or by following bad decision
making process, it can lead to loss of some great projects and plans. This process requires
attention to detail, careful planning and choosing the right option out of the given choices and
from relevant information gathered. The five steps involved in decision making process are:
1. Identification of problem: Identifying the purpose and goal of your decision is the initial
step. What is the reason behind wanting to make that decision initially? What issue
does it address, and why is it necessary to address it? Recognizing the objectives
provides a clear understanding and assists in making an unbiased decision. This allows
you to assess the situation and determine the best practices to follow. Before making a
decision, it is important to identify our goals in order to gain varied perspectives and
think rationally. So, the initial stage in making decisions is determining your objectives
and addressing all the "Why's."
2. Gather all information: Collect all the necessary information that is required. Begin by
evaluating yourself internally before seeking information from external sources.
Nowadays, it is much simpler to access any information, find the necessary books, or
seek online assistance to gather knowledge. Additionally, consider the alternative
choices available, if applicable. Collecting all the information is vital in resolving your
issue. If you require to leave and seek guidance from professionals, go ahead and do so.
16 | P a g e
Document Type: Unit Assessment Pack (UAP) Version 8 – Compliance and Quality Assurance Department
Unit Name: BSBCRT611 - Apply critical thinking for complex problem solving
After locating the data and the appropriate responses, internalize them to inform your
next logical move.
3. Considering all the alternatives: Every choice we make will result in certain
outcomes. Create a comprehensive list of the potential advantages and
disadvantages of the choice and consider its future ramifications on yourself. This
will assist you in making better decisions and increasing your awareness of the
situation. Reflecting on the outcomes has numerous advantages. It provides a
variety of viewpoints for you to select from. The expected outcomes may differ
from the ones you predict. Nonetheless, it will provide a distinct image for you to
assess and consider based on the outcomes.
4. Make your Decision: Having pinpointed your objective, collected pertinent
information, and considered the implications, now it is the moment to select and
implement your ultimate decision. Recognizing that this process can induce stress
in some individuals is crucial as it is when you must rely on your intuition. Even if
you are still a bit uncertain about your ultimate choice, you need to consider the
emotions it evokes in you. Question yourself, does it seem suitable? Is this choice
most beneficial for you both currently and in the long term? After responding to
those questions, you should be pleased with the outcome.
5. Evaluate your Decision: After making your ultimate choice and implementing it, it
is vital to assess both the decision and the actions taken to guarantee their
effectiveness. This last stage is likely of equal significance to the initial step, if not
more, as it will enhance your ability to make decisions for upcoming challenges.
This stage is crucial as it could mean the need to find fresh data and implement
adjustments throughout the process.
B.) Lack of Time: Managers frequently encounter time limitations that can hinder their ability to
make decisions effectively. Making a good non programmed decision becomes less likely when
there is limited time for collecting information and rational processing. Time constraints may
lead to the use of mental shortcuts instead of engaging in thorough thinking processes. The top
managers are always evaluating the risks of acting hastily versus the risks of not acting fast
enough.
Lack of Resources: A manager might struggle to carry out his decisions because of a shortage of
resources such as time, staff, and equipment. In these situations, he needs to be on the lookout
for different strategies that can be implemented within the current resources. Nevertheless,
necessary measures should be implemented if he believes that insufficient resources could
hinder the organization's development.
Conflict: Process conflict occurs when decision-makers disagree on the optimal action or the
decision-making procedure. This disagreement may cause postponements, inefficiencies, and a
failure to agree, which can make it difficult to make a prompt and successful decision.
Addressing conflicts involves being open to communication and working together to reach a
mutual agreement. Relationship conflicts arise from personal tensions between those making
decisions. When conflicting personal issues or separate goals among decision-makers are not
resolved, it hinders the effectiveness of decision-making. Conflicts within relationships can lead
to significant and continuous expenses for a company, as they obstruct collaboration and

impede the capacity to concentrate on the current goal.
A.) List the source of information that helps in identifying the problem at the workplace. (Answer
must be between 20-50 words)
B.) What is the importance of desk research in identifying the problem at the workplace? (Answer
must be between 80-100 words)
C.) How stakeholder consultation benefit organisation to identify issues/problems? (Answer must be
5A.) Employee Reviews: Evaluating employee performance is a useful method for pinpointing
issues within the workplace. Before a manager discusses the employee's performance, it is
important for the worker to conduct a self-assessment in order to identify any potential issues that
need to be addressed. Questionnaires, surveys, and oral interviews are among the techniques that
can be utilized to gather this information.
Employee Safety Protocol: Employees who are healthy are more energetic and efficient than those
who are ill. An essential aspect for a business owner is understanding the workplace thoroughly in
order to provide employees with information about the risks related to their job. One method to
accomplish this is by guaranteeing that office equipment is safe to use and complies with
standards. Assessing OSHA guidelines can assist in verifying if your machinery complies with the
requirements. Employers can also alert employees to high-risk areas where accidents are more
likely to happen.
Group Assessment Exercises: Having your employees work in small groups can be beneficial for
identifying issues within the workplace. The teams must be made up of employees from the
identical department collaborating on recognizing a shared issue. An unfamiliar moderator makes
it simpler for employees to address common problems they face. Peer-group evaluation and
collaborative problem-solving techniques aid in uncovering multiple issues within the company's
departments.
B.) Desk research assists companies in recognizing possible risks and obstacles within the
market. Analysing data from multiple sources can help companies prepare for regulatory
changes, economic fluctuations, and competitive threats. This enables them to create plans
to reduce these risks and make better choices. Businesses utilize desk research in the
beginning of a project in order to enhance their comprehension of a subject, pinpoint any
information discrepancies, and guide the subsequent research phases. It can also add to
initial discoveries and offer surrounding details and background data.
C.) Consultation helps us track trends, challenges, and perceptions among certain stakeholder
groups over time. It thus aids us in:

and reduced.
7. Improved decision-making and credibility: Engaging with stakeholders aids in better decision-
making and boosts the credibility of decisions, promoting a feeling of inclusiveness. The
involvement of both internal and external stakeholders is crucial for properly allocating resources,
ensuring the success of projects, and guiding the long-term direction of the company.

Unit Name: BSBCRT611 - Apply critical thinking for complex problem solving
3. Permissions: During the approval process, the visibility, editing, and approval of work is
determined by permissions or permission levels. Setting permissions for each approver and work
creator is crucial as certain work may have sensitive information that only specific individuals
should be able to modify. Setting the correct permission levels for each approver helps prevent
errors, protect the work's content, and improve the efficiency of the approval process.
4. Due Dates: Submitting work by the required deadlines ensures that it is approved promptly.
Establishing deadlines for those who need to approve is crucial to maintain the flow of work and
guarantee that all approvers have sufficient time to carefully assess the work before giving their
approval or rejection. In order to establish efficient deadlines for approvers, it is important to
determine the ultimate due date for the completion of the project as expected by your company.
Using this data, you can develop a project timeline outlining the specific amount of time allotted for
each reviewer to assess the task before passing it on to the next stage.
5. Records and Logs: Keeping detailed records and logs of every stage in the approval process is
advisable in order to monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of the process. Records and logs help
identify errors in the approval workflow and provide transparency for work creators and the
company to see who is reviewing the work. With records and logs, you can also monitor all tasks
that have completed the approval process.
Question 8: List the resources which are required for resolving any issues at the workplace. (Answer
must be between 20-50 words)
8.) 1. Dispute Resolution centres: Utilizing conflict resolution expertise through a community
resource can prove to be a cost-efficient option.
2. Conflict Coaches: Guiding employees through a current conflict can also assist them in
developing abilities to manage upcoming challenges.
3. Mediators: An expert can skilfully interpret problems and offer impartiality when it is most
needed.
4. Training Organisations: Training employees in advance to deal with workplace conflict helps
save time and money.
