HR & EYE SERVICE 5

 I worked in some places where I was always surprised at the behaviour of HR Managers when it came to annual salary increment.


Firstly, there was  this place without any formal measuring instrument, and salary increment was by departmental heads to staff and was accepted by the HR Manager.


Secondly, there was this other place where the HR Manager sent out a measuring instrument and departmental heads delay it to the extent that the Union used it to blackmail the HR Manager.


Thirdly, there were these two quoted companies that carried out performance appraisals but did not use it for annual salary increment.


Finally, there was a place that put a lot of efforts on the appraisal process, only to announce that due to the performance of the company, there would be no annual salary increment. Usually, this is after the company has gone to the stock exchange to show case her performance in the preceding financial year.


My position on all these especially the last company which I did not hide was that the performance appraisal process and outcome was a Disincentive to performance.


There are HR Managers that have conceded to the Union, negotiation of annual salary increment.

      Well Spoken!
      Most HR Managers have lost their managerial skills in the aspect of negotiation and dialogue with the top management when it has to do with employee reward.
      In so doing, this slows the general operations of the organisation as employees are not motivated to put in their best to the job.
      CEO's and Business owner should learn to cascade their ideas and visions to their potential stakeholders (workforce) and not pork nosing in every administrative activity.
      Many organizations today had failed in this aspect as there tend to be sentiments in the workplace and class amidst grade in salary placement. placing more priority to candidates who came on board through the boss either on merit or otherwise without following due process or HR Best practice.
      HR Managers MUST be FAIR in their dealings with the workforce under them as it is agreed that the employees are the key stakeholders of the organization.

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.

WICKED MANAGEMENTS AND CALLOUS TRADE UNIONS 5

 As we conclude this Content on Wicked Managements and Callous Trade Unions, we shall share with you what should be done by both Management and Trade Union in protecting workers from unfair labour Practices. Last week, we identified some of the National Economic Challenges and the contributions of both Management and Trade Union to unfair labour Practices. The way out of Unfair Labour Practices falls on both the Management and the Trade Union. They are:- - Management and Trade Union must commit to adhering to the Codified Rules of Engagement. - Management shall not go out of the labour policies and procedures of the organisation. - There shall be no secrets in the management workers affairs. - Salaries, allowances and pensions must be paid as at when due (30 days cycle). - Workers shall be given fair hearing. - The Trade Union must be carried along on all issues of discipline and job loses. From the above, what comes out like we said previously, the Trade Unions unfair labour Pract...

HR MISTAKES BY YOURS TRULY 8

 I have a first degree in Sociology and Anthropology from the best university then in that discipline in Nigeria, the University of Benin, Benin City. During my undergraduate days, I decided not to earn naira on graduation, so when my course mates were rushing to major in Organizational Behaviour, I opted for Medical Sociology. I equally decided to go on to obtain a Masters Degree in Epidemiology so as to ensure that I work with either WHO or UNICEF where I would be paid in dollars. However, my university of choice was then being shut every other three months. This was against another decision of yours truly that I shall not spend more than 12 months for the masters program. At this point, I changed my mind to study Industrial Relations and Personnel Management at the best University then in that discipline in Nigeria, the University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos. This major shift brought yours truly into a profession that it's major tenants contradict my major attitudes to life. Some of ...
