HR BY GOOD QUALITY EDUCATION 1

 For the illiterates and half literates,  education is a scam. To go into a profession without requisite educational qualification is like learning to be Left-handed when already grown up. 


In dealing with this Content, I just wish to formerly introduce myself so as to enable people who are seeing me from afar,  come to terms with the stands I take in HR issues. 


I hold a B.Sc. (Hons) degree in Sociology and Anthropology from the University of Benin,  the best institution in that field in Nigeria then. 

Also,  I hold an M.Sc. degree in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management from the University of Lagos,  the best University in that field then in Nigeria. 


Consequently,  for me,  there are only three Universities in Nigeria. They are,  Uniben,  Unilag and Others. 

My two degrees are all about people and HR is also about people. No wonder I am who I am in this HR field. 


From Unilag,  I started by being a member of NIRA - Nigerian Industrial Relations Association. Later I became a member of the CIPMN - Chartered Instituted of Personnel Management of Nigeria, NITAD - Nigerian Institute For Training and Development,  and most recently in 2017 NICArb. - Nigerian Institute of Chartered Arbitrators. 


What this good quality education has done for me in this profession will form the Contents I shall share in the next several weeks without forgetting what King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:18 (For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow).

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
