HR & EYE SERVICE 1

 Eye Service is when you do things to get noticed not for your own or others benefit.

Let me share so personal Eye Service experiences as regards working hours.


Basically, my practice was, I did not stay in the office beyond closing hours just because someone called my boss was still in his office working.

Secondly, I am a firm believer of the saying that "office work never got finished, that when office work finished, you become redundant"

I did not undertake any assignment given around 16.00 hours that cannot be concluded at 17.00 hours.

Because I was never behind on assignments, I needed not stay behind in the office after closing hours which was majorly 17.00 hours.


In two companies I was challenged for leaving the premises before 18.00 hours and my response was I have completed the day's assignment.

In other two companies, I was questioned why I refused to work on Saturdays and my response was I had nothing to do on Saturdays especially when my contract stated 5 days, 40 hours a week.

There was a particular company where my predecessor usually closed from work between 23.00 hours and 00.00 hours, only for me on arrival set my closing time at between 17.15 - 17.30 hours without leaving anything undone.


Take it from me for free that all late closers , do not work at the right time but dissipate energy when they ought to work.

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
