HR MANAGEMENT: WHERE GOING 17

 In continuation of our discussion of Pervasive Ignorance in HR Management, I today share with you the summary of a discussion in a grassroot HR platform.

The Chairman of the group announced a Knowledge sharing session to discuss how HR Professionals can build a sustainable health insurance for employees.

An elder in the group suggested that the group try Experience sharing for a change.

A former chairman of the group offered to join the beloved elder at the table to treat the topic and believed that the Excos could work on it.

Another former Exco member said experience sharing was a great idea.

Another member said she was looking forward to the all important session.

While thanking the elder for sharing his thought, the chairman expressed the wish that it would be great if more HR Professionals in the group join the online session and share their personal experiences using HMOs. He stated that the quest speaker has very vast experience in the healthcare insurance sector.

Off the group platform discussion between the chairman and the elder, did not change the chairman's mind on Knowledge sharing for Experience sharing.

Back on the group platform, the elder's threat to post the discussions on his Blog elicited grave silence.

Before concluding, I wish to state that Mathematically, Wisdom is a function of correct application of knowledge.

That is:-

w=f(cak)

Where:

W=wisdom.

C=correct.

A=application.

K=knowledge.

The conclusion is that Impunity based on self aclaimed monopoly of wisdom and complete intolerance for contrary opinions by HR Practitioners have become major drivers of Pervasive Ignorance in HR Management in my clime.

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 ...

THE LAW OF REST 1

There are two Economics laws that best  explain, the law of Rest. These laws are: The law of Diminishing Returns and The Law of Marginal Utility. The Law of Rest states that when you work and rest and work again, you produce more than when you work continuously without rest. The application of this Law of Rest has been manifest in the practice of Bush Fallowing and/ or Shifting Cultivation in Agriculture. Applied to fair labour practice, it results in the principle of annual vacation for employees. Employees are meant to stop work and rest for 30 minutes after 4 hours of work. This accounts for why employees who work 8 hours a day,, are given 1 hour break in between the 8 hours. Applied to yearly work, every employee is entitled to a number of weeks vacation every year without negotiation. In fact in my clime, the law says, an employee shall not accumulate more than two years vacation. Any employee in any organisation where the CEO goes on vacation annually, and does not go on vaca...

HR ON EXTINCTION MODE 1

 There are certain things being done or not being done by modern HR Practitioners that tend to indicate that the HR Profession is on a high speed to extinction.  Firstly, Some HR Professionals are leaving more strategic roles for transactional roles. For example, how would an HR Professional give up Salary Administration for Pay Roll? There may be only two possible reasons, which are:  - Ignorance or  - Instinct of collection - being interested in uncollected wages.  Secondly, HR Professionals giving up the preparation of offers of employment letters. Of recent, offer letters are being prepared by Lawyers and given to HR Professionals to sign without understanding the legal constructions by these lawyers for incomes in the future through litigations. The unfortunate situation is that some HR Professionals are defending the unwholesome practice.  The point being made is that some HR Practitioners are already surrendering some of their core functions to Accou...
