Instructions to Students
This workbook contains the details of your assessment and the guidelines for you to be able to
complete it.
Unit Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage the performance of staff who report
to them directly. Development of key result areas and key performance indicators and standards,
coupled with regular and timely coaching and feedback, provide the basis for performance
management.
It applies to individuals who manage people. It covers work allocation and the methods to review
performance, reward excellence and provide feedback where there is a need for improvement.
The unit makes the link between performance management and performance development, and
reinforces both functions as a key requirement for effective managers.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Prerequisites
There are no pre-requisites for this unit.

Assessment 3
Case Study
Upon completion of the assessment, your trainer/assessor will mark each assessment task and
complete a Unit Summary Sheet to record the results and feedback. The trainer/assessor will discuss
the results/feedback with you and ask you to sign the declaration as evidence that the feedback
session has occurred.
There are two (2) outcomes of each assessment:
S = Satisfactory
NS = Not Satisfactory (requires more training)
You will be marked as Competent (C) upon completion of the unit when your trainer/assessor is
satisfied that you have completed all assessment tasks and provided the appropriate evidence
required to meet all criteria. Otherwise, you will be marked as Not Yet Competent (NYC) and provided
an opportunity for re-assessment.
To record your results for the unit, your trainer/assessor will complete the unit summary sheet and
submit it to the training coordinator for a review and quality check. Once it has been cleared by the
training coordinator, the result sheet will be forwarded to the Administration Department for entry
into the Student Management System.
The completed assessment and unit summary sheet will be stored in the individual students file.
Re-assessment
If the result of your assessment is Not Yet Competent (NYC), you will be given an opportunity for reassessment. You will only work on the components of the assessment that were marked Not
Satisfactory. Please note that MIV will provide you with two (2) attempts for assessment at no cost.
If you do not satisfy the assessment criteria in the 1st attempt then you will be provided with an
opportunity for re-assessment. If you are not able to achieve competency with both of these
opportunities, then you will be required to repeat the unit at your own cost which will also affect your
duration of study.
Appeals
If you are unhappy or do not agree with the result of the assessment, you are advised to speak with
your trainer/assessor. The trainer/assessor will provide an explanation regarding the outcome you
have received and provide appropriate feedback. However, if you are still unhappy, you can bring the
concern to the RTO Manager or formally lodge an appeal (please refer to the Complaint and Appeal

Option 2: Using Bliss&Me?
Use the information provided for Bliss&Me, and the following scenario to support your responses.
Scenario
Jeff Irvine is the Fitness and Nutrition team lead. He currently has four amazing people on his team.
To ensure they stay motivated and efficient Jeff has decided to put a work plan together to ensure
everyone is on the same page and working towards the agreed goals of the company.
Each employee is required to work a minimum of 38 hours in a week. The company has a fairly
flexible work hour policy as many of their clients prefer to work out before and after their own nine
to five workdays. This means working out the business needs across shifts, as well as consultation
with all the team to ensure their needs are met too. Jeff’s priority is to ensure the group fitness
timetable is rostered appropriately (e.g. the Yoga classes and Bootcamps), then time is set aside for
individualised personal training sessions, professional development activities and, of course, the
dreaded paperwork! The team also have to work with the Sales and Marketing team to help them
with potential opportunities and consultations. He has decided to use a typical roster system and will
review it in a couple of weeks once it has been implemented. He puts out an email to his team asking
for their feedback about their preferences for rostering.
He has the following four people on his fitness team:
Personal Trainer & Fitness Instructor Mario Balestra
Mario loves to get his training partners to push to their limits. He is a full-on guy and that comes out
in his training style. He is motivated and generally goes at 100k’s per hour all the time! One thing
that inspires him is talking with people about their fitness goals and how to integrate that with the
rest of their lifestyle.

Claire is a busy mum of three and loves to have the flexibility that this job gives her. She is keen to
increase her personal training clients and loves the thought of getting into the corporate market
where she can get people moving on their lunch break. She is specifically interested in helping new
mums with their fitness as this is how she originally got into the fitness game herself. After her first
baby she felt listless, frumpy and unhealthy. She met Nikola Deed, did some counselling with her
and through hard work and determination completed her certificate to become a fitness instructor.
Personal Trainer, Fitness & Yoga Instructor Carlos Rodriguez
Carlos is the total opposite to Mario. He is laid back, calm and relaxed. Yoga is his thing and he
loves nothing more than a walk on the beach to collect his thoughts. Paperwork however is the bane
of his existence and tends to be the last thing on his mind at the end of every week!
Yoga Instructor Nikola Deed
As the co-founder, yoga instructor and head of natural therapies, Nikola has her finger in lots of pies
within the business. Even so she loves to keep her skills up by running classes.
To complete this assessment, you must either (a) use your workplace to complete the below activities
OR, (b) complete the following tasks from the perspective of Jeff Irvine at Bliss&Me.
TASK 1: From your chosen scenario, create a list of duties that must be completed for the week for
each position within the team.
TASK 2: Consult with your team members in order to obtain to their preferences for duties and their
availability (e.g. via emails, meeting minutes, recorded conversations, etc.) upload your consultation
documents as part of your assessment evidence. Draft an email to your team.
[if using Bliss&Me, use the Email Template (below) to create an email to get preferences from
your team]

Morning Jeff,
Thanks so much for asking what I would prefer! I would love to run the mum and bubs class and
would also appreciate time with the sales and marketing team to devise strategies regarding corporate
work. I am happy to work most hours – just try and avoid times from about 5-7 please. Very happy to
do personal training with anyone after 7!
Cheers,
Claire

G’day Jeff,
How’s it going? Thanks for the heads up about the rosters. Could you book me in for any yoga classes
and running/walking classes?
Really happy to do any and all the yoga classes that are happening – I have no issues working the
weekend too if it means some extra time to myself during the week….
Peace man!

Hiya Jeff, I hope your day is going well!
I am starting to get really busy at the moment with the counselling and my other duties as head of
natural therapies. I would really like to do a couple of yoga classes in the mornings and keep the rest
of my day clear for my other duties if possible.
I hope this suits, don’t hesitate to contact me if this doesn’t!
All the best,
Nikola
