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 Accountants and Lawyers. 


From next week, we shall start sharing some character traits of modern HR Professionals that are working towards the extinction of the Profession.

    You might not be far from the truth. My candid opinion is this: the influx of job seekers to the financial benefits and accruals for the position of HR rather than who the job description entails, is gradually tilting the profession towards extinction. Recently, a cousin Applied for a job on Indeed, only for the HR to send an email for her to call a particular number based on their interest in her services after going through her documents. Has it come to this, I asked? 🤔

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
