HR MANAGER: A CHANGE AGENT 8

 Today I wish to tell you a village story and hope that your reaction would help relieve my HR burden. 


The mother of the Rat died and all preparations were made for the burial including a new set of drums. 

However, something happened two days to the burial day that led to the postponement of the ceremony. 

The family mandated the Rat to put the drum set in the ceiling until the new date. When the new date came and the family asked for the drum set, the Rat acted Dumb, Deaf and Blind. 

REASON? 

The Rat had gone into the ceiling and eaten the drum set in the interval. 


If I could get a minimum of three reactions putting current HR Management practices into the above story, I will share this my great burden.

These two staff, while one was in charge of purchasing, the second was in charge of processing the sales of scraps in the company.

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.
