For this the management need to follow an effective Human resource procedure. This can be done effective by determining a consultative mechanism. Consultation provides opportunities to create strong two-way relationship between employer and the employee (Qld.gov.au, 2014). JKL industries can facilitate workshops or discussion forums for consultation where they can explore the HR issues within a brief time period and can have open-ended dialogue on the issues and develop strategies.

Models for the delivery of HR service

The transformations of HR due to globalization have maximized the contribution of strategies and improve their business performance.

This method is both cost and time effective as JKL then focus on their core business. However the JKL might face risks as the provider might not be aware of their industry or business which might be risky in complying with the enterprise agreements, codes of practice, legislation and industrial relations.
