HR MANAGEMENT: WHERE GOING 15

 While still sharing on Pervasive Ignorance in HR Management, there is an international dictum which states, "Think Global and Act Local". This is totally rejected by the vocal IHRP in my clime insisting that you must Think Global and Act global.

Consequent upon their large followership, it does appears that all hopes are lost. However, the good news is that a major blow was delivered against them recently.

In May, 2022, the President and Chairman of Council of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), in a television program finish the IHRP finished by rekindling our hope that Ignorance has not totally taken over.

HOW?

He said that:

1. The CIPM is the only body backed by law to regulate the management of people at work in Nigeria by Act 58 of 1992. Anyone involved in people management at work in Nigeria, who is not a member of CIPM is a Quack.

2. CIPM is globally recognized and linked with other people at work management bodies. That at entry levels, foreign certifications without the Nigerian Labour Law and Industrial Relations will not be recognized as equivalent to the CIPM Diploma.


Hurray, the second point above put a final nail on the coffin of the IHRP who says, there are no more unions in Nigeria, therefore, we must be engaged in Employee Relations and not Industrial Relations.

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
