HR MANAGEMENT: WHERE GOING 14

 There are many ways by which this pervasive ignorance in HR Management is manifested.  The larger than life manifestation of pervasive ignorance in HR Management is APING.


There is a popular adage that says "every mistake in New York is a new style" in my clime. Permit me to call you an Ignorant Human Resources Practitioner (IHRP) by Aping things that work in other places but cannot work in your environment. Some examples are:-

- Attending open training courses that you cannot apply the knowledge where you work makes you an IHRP.

- Copiously quoting management experts from other lands, whose ideas you cannot apply to your job, makes you an IHRP.

- Promoting Remote working while working in factory that cannot produce without staff physically on ground, makes you an IHRP.

- Promoting robotics while living in a country that cannot provide 4hours electricity per day for her citizen, makes you an IHRP.

- You work in a bank that cannot load her ATMs remotely but with wide mouth preach remote working, makes you an IHRP.

- You mentor people without applying your knowledge and experience in your organization, makes you an IHRP.

- Any knowledge you cannot apply to your work now and in future is complete useless to your profession.

- Finally, what is the meaning of MYLON? If you do not know before now, you are an IHRP.

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
