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.

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
