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 ...

HR MISTAKES BY YOURS TRULY 6

 My refusal to accept two direct instructions from two gentlemen who were instrumental to my employment in two companies where I enjoyed working, cost yours truly those jobs because I considered those instructions as unreasonable. Firstly, I was asked to provide information that would lead to the termination of the employment of five high performing managers. My response was to send my boss a local ICBM to the effect that "a man who circumcises woman do not talk". If the man talks, he will die of hunger. Secondly, I was asked to tell half truths by my boss, which I considered to be telling lies and I refused. My boss explained further to yours truly, that what he was saying was for yours truly to play politics because politics is about half truths.

Within five weeks of this discussion, your truly was tra...

HR MISTAKES BY YOURS TRULY 1

 In discussing HR MISTAKES by yours truly, the necessary starting point should be the establishment of ATTITUDE to life generally and work in particular. Attitude is not inherited but acquired through learning and experience by massive exposure. Decisions are based on the attitude of the decision maker to the issue at stake. Please refer to my earlier content on "Decision Making:A Strategy For Development" in 2023. All the HR MISTAKES I made were all based on my attitude to life issues generally and work in particular. A few of my attitude based decision will suffice. - Truth is sacrosanct. If it is not the truth, it cannot be the truth. - Integrity. If you cannot do it, do not say it. Very many people substitute Integrity with Rigidity. - Covenant breakers are not human beings but animals. - Liars are dogs. - Do not work for people/Companies who do not pay salaries as at when due. - Annual leave is non-negotiable. - The rule must be applied to all with very few exceptions.
