HR ON EXTINCTION MODE 2

We share hereunder some character traits of modern HR Practitioners working towards the extinction of the profession.


Firstly, They lack HR academic qualifications. Very many modern HR Professionals have no HR academic training. They are Chance HR Practitioners. They tried to overcome this shortfall by acquiring Institutional Professional diplomas, CAC Professional qualifications, and finally, Social Media HR qualifications. 


Secondly,  Many modern HR Practitioners do not read. They claim to be so busy that they do not read any material put out there. You hardly find them reacting to any shared Content. 


Thirdly, They are always involved in Knowledge Sharing. Knowledge, they will not be able to apply in their work environments. Of what use inapplicable knowledge acquired? 


Fourthly,  They operate near absolute Nepotism. They are not the most qualified for the positions they currently occupy. In their recruitment exercises,  they follow how they got in. 

During my active work life, in all the places I worked, it was always foreigners who decreed my employment,  Nigerians never wanted me employed. 


We shall continue with these character traits next week.

    Totally agree. Accountants and lawyers have taken over HR, believing they are experts muddling up everything. Its so painful for us to watch.

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
