HR MISTAKES BY YOURS TRULY 5

 Companies whose employees steal is caused by these companies by pursuing anti-people policies. Today I share with you my experiences in three companies I worked and be the judge whether employees stealing is companies engineered or not.

Firstly, There was the company I worked where drivers used 90 liters of fuel to cover about 400 kilometers, while your truly covered a distance of 450 kilometers with less than 45 liters with a car of the same engine capacity. When I introduced people centric policies, yours truly position was declared redundant with the claim that those policies were more expensive to the company than the stealing that was taking place.

Secondly, In another company, the management made contributory pension deductions from staff salaries but failed to remit same to any Pension Fund Administrator. A Finance staff stole N27 million from the company which he gave to religious organization and this faith based organization insisted that children of God's gift to God cannot be refunded. When I insisted that the over three years deductions be remitted to a PFA, the employment of your truly was terminated.

Thirdly, In this particular company, yours truly was frustrated from implementing people friendly policies to the extent that I had to resign. Some of these policies were:-

- Introduction of HMO for staff medical services.

- Introduction of contributory pension scheme.

- My stand against the conversion of regular staff to contract.

After I left, within eighteen months the company lost N75 million in one location.

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.
