JOB HOPPING:A FUNCTION OF INEFFECTIVE PMS 4

 Based on my experience, I have identified three types of organisations based on how they viewed Employees Performance Measurement System.

The three typologies are:-

- Absence of formal employees performance measurement system.

- Simple employees based performance measurement system.

- Ego tripping employee performance measurement system.


My 25 years paid employment time, I spent majorly in manufacturing companies.


TYPOLOGY 1: Here, therewere companies which had no formal employees performance measurement system. One thing that was common with them was the recognition of machine performance without appropriate regard for the operator of the machine. Another common denominator was pervasive Nepotism, so that annual salary increment was based on connection.

In three of the companies in this typology, where I thought, I had the power to introduce employee performance measurement system, when I had finished all the groundwork, to start the actual measurement, the business owners cancelled the HR Function stating that, we were introducing Trade Unionism through the back door. In one particular company, my appointment was terminated and I resigned my appointment with another.


TYPOLOGY 2: There were two companies here that both believed that the company's performance was closely related to the employees performance. What they did usually was that at the beginning of the financial year, individual employees were allowed to set their individual goals in line with both the company's and departmental goals. These agreed individual goals were filed with the HR Department, so that during the period of employees performance measurement, it was only the goals that were agreed at the beginning of the year were measured and served as the basis for reward distribution to employees. Infact, in one of the two, two years consecutive adverse performance, led to separation procedure against such employee.


Next week, let us conclude by sharing on the typology three.

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.

WICKED MANAGEMENTS AND CALLOUS TRADE UNIONS 5

 As we conclude this Content on Wicked Managements and Callous Trade Unions, we shall share with you what should be done by both Management and Trade Union in protecting workers from unfair labour Practices. Last week, we identified some of the National Economic Challenges and the contributions of both Management and Trade Union to unfair labour Practices. The way out of Unfair Labour Practices falls on both the Management and the Trade Union. They are:- - Management and Trade Union must commit to adhering to the Codified Rules of Engagement. - Management shall not go out of the labour policies and procedures of the organisation. - There shall be no secrets in the management workers affairs. - Salaries, allowances and pensions must be paid as at when due (30 days cycle). - Workers shall be given fair hearing. - The Trade Union must be carried along on all issues of discipline and job loses. From the above, what comes out like we said previously, the Trade Unions unfair labour Pract...

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 ...
