Edexcel Business - Approaches to Staffing

A new series of resources aimed at assisting teachers with the delivery of the Edexcel A Level Business specification. This resource specifically looks at topic 1.4.1. Approaches to Staffing. It considers staff as both an asset and a cost of a business, flexible working (multi-skilling, part-time and temporary workers, flexible hours, working from home and outsourcing), the distinction between dismissal and redundancy and the importance of employer-employee relations. The slides contain several activities with suggested answers including the Quick Fire Five and a 10 mark practice question. The clear and well-presented nature of the slides are aimed at helping students to understand the topics with each topic analysed to provide a balanced assessment of the theory.
