labour in relation to the College’s workforce.
 A review of government policy

Identify at least two government policy initiatives that affect labour demand and supply.
Outline each of the policy initiatives that you have identified and how it affects labour
demand and supply.

group to determine employee’s satisfaction. Review all of the comments from the focus
group and comment on overall employee satisfaction, as well as areas of need that should
be considered as part of an ongoing review of workforce planning objectives.
 Analysis of exit interviews.

Review all of the comments from the exit interviews and comment on reasons for leaving
