HR & EYE SERVICE 2

 There are HR Managers who do not partake in the staff selection process but issue employment letters on instructions.

I detested all forms of Nepotism and short-circuiting of the selection process and in three cases which I bowed to senior managers instructions ended in failure.

Firstly, a Personnel/Admin Manager fought with a Cleaner within three months of his assuming office.

Secondly, a Material Stores Manager, I had to terminate his appointment on the third month.

Thirdly, a TPM Officer stayed a month and left.


On one occasion, I had to cancel an interview in my absence because someone who thought he was powerful substituted the candidates I called for interview with other candidates.


Finally, I only accepted candidates recommended for interviews not employment. Infact, on one occasion, I threw out the names brought for employment by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company.

I am sure to a majority of HR Managers reading this content, disqualifying the candidates of the Board Chairman is anything but full-hardy.

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
