JOB HOPPING:A FUNCTION OF INEFFECTIVE PMS 5

 To conclude the above content, I shall discuss the Typology 3.

Last week, we discussed typologies 1 and 2 which dealt with, No formal employees performance measurement and Simple employees based performance measurement system.


TYPOLOGY 3: Ego-Tripping employees performance measurement system. By my experience, there was one company. Here, the HR Department put a lot of time and resources in the training of employees in the act of setting annual goals and actual measurement of employees performance at the appropriate time. 

At the end of the actual employee performance measurement, the problem begins, hence the tag of "Ego- Tripping". The HR Department does nothing with the ratings until Executive Management returns from the Stock Exchange, where it presented the facts behind the figures, which usually showed a wonderful performance.

Then, the unusual happens, the HR Department informs employees that due to the poor performance of the company in the last financial year, the company will not be able to increase salaries based on the just concluded employees performance measurement exercise. The HR Department goes further to inform employees that Executive Management, in her magnanimity has decided to grant all employees a percentage increase in salary across the board.

Once this was done, in my usual twin problems of insisting "agreement is agreement and speaking the truth to authority", I declares that the company's employees performance measurement was a disincentive to employees performance.


From next week, we shall start a new series on "Interview Results Communication or Communicating Interview Results.

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
