 Looking for the most appropriate description of leaders and elites in Nigeria and Nigerians? We are a country devoid of Leaders but a gang of Rulers and Elites, who are nothing but a group of Meganomeniacical Kleptomaniacs.

 Integrity means different things to different people in their life and how it affect other people. For me at all times and for everybody no matter the situation, Integrity means doing what you say. Integrity means standing for what is right, even if it means standing alone. Integrity means being consistently consistent. Integrity means swearing even to your own hurt, without changing your mind. Integrity means your Yes being yes and your No being no. Integrity means all your associates defending your position even in your absence not base of what they will benefit from you. Integrity means being Firm and Fair at all times. Integrity means standing by your opinion at all times without contractions. Integrity means people standing by your word and action based on past experiences. Integrity means being predictable by people with whom you are in constant interactions. For the HR Professional to be taken seriously by both the employees and employer, he must of necessity display most o...

 Looking for the best thing a man should do under the sun? Man should eat, drink and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour all the days of his life. - The Preacher.

 I have to come back to Staff Salary because of a return to one other thing I settled 5,6 years ago. My conclusion then was, only HR Professionals who are interested in stealing unclaimed wages that take on Pay Roll function in addition to Salary Administration. What has returned? It is the ignorance of equating Employee Relations with Industrial Relations in Nigeria. The question today is Could staff salaries be kept private, personal, confidential and secret? If Yes, for how long? In most properly structured companies, three departments hold information of staff salaries. These are: Human Resources, Finance and Internal Audit. Is it then possible to keep staff salaries personal, private, confidential and secret? My take is that Staff Salaries can only be personal, private, confidential and secret until the payment of the first salary. With so many people with access to the Staff Salaries, it can no longer be kept private, personal, confidential and secret. Why are staff salaries ...

 Looking for a just man that does good only and does not sin on earth? There is no just man on earth that does good and does not sin on earth.

 This week, my Content is very short because I am just going to list Training Courses an HR Professional should undertake to contribute meaningful to the company's profitability by reducing other waste and not staff through redundancy. It is correct to say that an absolute majority of HR Professionals lack the capacity to read and understand a balance sheet. From my personal experience, to avoid being a disabled HR Professional, you should attend the under listed training courses. They are:- 1. Finance For Non-Finance Managers. 2. MBO - Management By Objectives. 3. TQM - Total Quality Management. 4. ERP - Enterprise Resources Planning. 5. Six Sigma 6. Lean Analysis. 7. TPM - Total Productive Maintenance. I can tell you for free that when you are grounded on all the above, no Finance Professional will sell you a dummy of cutting staff training budget and staff reduction through redundancy as a means of reducing waste thereby increasing company profitability. Two examples will suffic...

 Looking for the thing that destroys the most? A Gift destroys the heart most as demonstrated by the executhieves and the conniving judiciary in my clime.

 I'll like to start where I ended on Employee Stealing. That companies where stealing by employees is pervasive , it is caused by the companies by the payment of callously low wages and since employees must stay alive, they innovate for survival which the wicked employer calls stealing. In the same vane, what is not contestable is that any company where employees do not put a fair day's work for a fair day's wage is actually caused by the management by the culture of the company. HOW? There are several ways through which employees show low commitment to work. Some of these ways may include the following:- Firstly, A company's inability to carry out a proper Job Analysis and Classification results in promoting laziness. Until a proper job analysis and Classification is done, employees work haphazardly thinking they are putting in their best which in most cases it is not good enough. Secondly, Arising from number one above, some companies are unable to provide employees w...
