EMOLOYEE STEALING 3

 Undesputedly, most causes of stealing by employees are employer driven.

That being the case, to stop employee stealing, the employer has a major role to play.

There are several ways of stopping employee stealing. They may include the following:-

- deterrent punishments.

- rewarding diligence.

- employer empathy.

- employer must correct herself.

- restitution.

- zero tolerance for stealing.

- clean the slate.

Once the employer takes care of her promotion of stealing by employees, stealing will be a thing of the past.

In the next three or four weeks, we shall share three or four practical experiences.

    Your are very right in your views on Employee stealing. Employers, especially small and medium scale businesses, desire so much to eliminate employee stealing but are usually are reluctant to take necessary actions to do so, especially compensation. They think employees don't see cash flow and expenses - what's coming in and what's going out. In summary, if you don't give, they will take.

    Many thanks for your views. Infact when stealing has been allowed to fester by the employer, the only corrective measures is to clean the slate. What you sow, you must surely reap. Employers take note.

EMPLOYEE STEALING 7

 I worked in this particular company that pays terribly disproportionate Junior staff to Managerial salaries. My monthly salary was almost twice the salary of the five junior staff that worked with me. The above great disparity notwithstanding, one of the Clerk's secondary home was a beer parlour where he spent freely. A second junior staff on supervisory grade change his car twice in three years, while I the manager could not afford a single tyre of a car. These two staff, while one was in charge of purchasing, the second was in charge of processing the sales of scraps in the company.

MICRO HR MANAGEMENT 13

 There was this company I worked that the Union forced management to 20% deduction on contributory pension but did not remit these deductions to any Pension Fund Administrator (PFA). When I joined, Management agreed that I sign an undertaking with the external auditors that management will pay quarterly deductions monthly in addition  to the current month deductions. However, when it was time to effect the remittance, the Management back tracked on the undertaking. My insistence in the remittances cost I my job with the company. The good news however, after I left, may be for fear of the trouble I could cause the company, Management started the implementation of the undertaking till date.

HR WITHOUT INITIATIVES 2

 Once I changed my job from a factory employing over 2,700  and spending a little over N300,000.00 monthly on medical bills to another factory employing a little over 200 staff but spent monthly over N250,000.00 on medical bills.  For me,  this was a beautiful challenge that needed to be attended to.  The result of preliminary research showed that: - - We had 4 retainer hospitals.  - Our staff fall sick majorly on Fridays and Saturdays evenings and mornings respectively.  - Our staff took soft loans from the retainer hospitals,  which they send to us with interest as medical bills.  What did I do?  - Established an Industrial Clinic with an NYSC Doctor plus a Nurse.  - Reduced retainer hospitals by two.  - Got staff to choose which of the remaining two retainer hospitals to attend.  - Stopped the payment of medical bills without referrals from the Industrial Clinic.  - Sourced drugs from the pharmaceutical Division of the Conglomerate for the Industrial Clinic.  - Gave a month's no
