Unit 1a Work roles
P5 Reading 1-2 Read the brochure extract to find out how WorkSet uses colour to clarify work roles.
Suggested answer:
WorkSet allows companies to clarify work roles by classifying different aspects of the job according to colour. Companies can use colour to specify the exact level of responsibility to be given to a number of key tasks. These specifications can be changed as the job changes. Employees can use the same system to give feedback on the job from their point of view, ensuring that job descriptions remain relevant.
1-3 Look at the pie charts and discuss the differences between them based on the information in the WorkSet extract. Suggested answer:
According to the manager's brief, about half of the employee's time should be spent taking personal responsibility for meeting objectives (yellow work). However, the employee feels that this is not the case. Blue work (Le, work carded out in a prescribed way) is double the amount envisaged in the brief. As can be seen from the grey, white and pink segments, the employee also perceives him/herself to be involved in certain activities outside the job brief While the small amount of white (creative) work appears to be positive, the pink time serves no useful purpose. Moreover, the incidental grey work which the employee is asked to do in addition to his/her job may be detracting from the core yellow work.
1-4 A manager assigns the following tasks to different workers. Match each verb with one of the four core WorkSet colours.
schedule – yellow operate – blue co-operate - orange participate – orange decide – yellow support - green design – yellow assist – green comply - blue follow - blue
Think of another verb for each core colour. Suggested answer:
blue - carry Out, execute yellow - plan, research green - aid, cover
orange - take pert, brainstorm P7 Report writing

Advantages: Allows speed of response within a large complex structure. Retains control but gives quick access to information. Employees can constantly refine their actions and strategies. Organisational control is dynamic.
