HR BY GOOD QUALITY EDUCATION 2

 Today,  our Content is on the main Characteristics of Illiterate HR Practitioners. 

You inflicted yourself on the HR Profession if you have no educational qualification in HR before coming into the profession, notwithstanding the multitude of KSS (Knowledge Sharing Sections) you have been involved in,  it does not vitiate the fact that you are an Illiterate HR Practitioner.  You cannot build a multi-storey building on the foundation of a bungalow. 


Some of the Characteristics of Illiterate HR Practitioners include the following: -

- They operate by Nepotism, without Initiatives and by Sentiments. 

- They work long hours without commensurate results. I worked in a Group of Companies where one HR Manager was working day and night and I recommended that he should be taken to YABA LEFT. 

- They lack wisdom because they do not apply correctly the knowledge they acquired from all the KSS. 

- They cannot read and understand their company's annual statement of accounts. 

- They do not know the difference between PayRoll and Salary Administration functions. 

- They do not usually proceed on annual leave. 

- They only play politics of promotion including PHD. 

- They do not recognize a toxic work environment. 

- They do not acquire quality work experience because they work within social statics. They preach the doctrine of "Rolling Stone Gathers no Mourns"

- They do not develop successors because they aim to die on the job. 

- They YESS-MEN,  who cannot speak truth to authority. 

- They do not understand the difference between Industrial Relations and Employee Relations. 

- They are pathological at Aping. 

- They do not know that they can disobey unlawful and unreasonable instructions. 

- They are always involved in negotiating resignations with resigned staff. 

Please add your characteristics based on observations and/or experience. 


Next week Content will be on quality education and direct reporting lines.

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...

WHAT IS YOUR SALARY EXPECTATION? 2

 The above question is irrelevant for people who join organisations by Nepotism because interviews are merely to fulfill all righteousness. For others who join organisations by merit, it is a most important question because it is a question you already knew would be asked. Failing this all important question shows lack of proper preparation for the interview. I dealt with this question in two forms:- Firstly, From the Consultant's perspective. Secondly, From the direct employer's perspective. Based on my knowledge of salaries paid in various sectors of the Nigerian economy, when a consultant asked, to answer I only demand to know the sector her client was operating. As regards the direct employer, it was even easier to answer. I always found out what were the going rates in that industry. Three examples to clarify the points above. These examples will cover two from Structured Organisations and one from Unstructured Organisation, the ones I generally call "Mosafejo Compani...
