Assessment Brief
You have been asked to provide guidance to a local farm park. This is a relatively small organisation, with just 25 permanent employees. However, during the summer months the number of employees increases threefold due to the extra work that comes from local tourists visiting the park.
A number of issues have arisen, and you are required to advise on each. To assist you in your deliberations, the issues have been grouped into three sections.
You should provide a written response to the employer, with approximately 1000 words for each of the three sections.
