Tips for an Effective Human Resource Management Action Plan

What are some tips for having an effective human resource management plan? First of all, it has to address the facts that business fortunes rise and fall periodically, employees and talent needs change and evolve, workforces age and retire in perhaps unplanned ways that do not match business needs. Also the market value of talent changes over time, sometimes becoming more valuable or less valuable.

Business focus:

Be a best business place to work, not just a best place to work. Create a human resource management strategy to live with throughout the business cycle. Test some alternative solutions assuming growth and shrinkage of the number of customers and their profitability. Reward people who have helped the organisation to succeed.

Emphasise key skills:

Mentor staff with the crucial business skills so that they grow and learn. While everyone is important, some people have skills which a business needs than do others. This means investing in the talent that is closest to the business’ core competencies – capabilities which are vital in making the business a winning one. Inform everyone what the talent priorities are and build a reward solution that fits. Invest on the area where most of business value comes from – people with expertise that add most to the business.

Communicate:

Educate employees about the rules of staffing growth and reduction early in their career. During the staffing build up over the last 5 years, companies implied that jobs were more secure than they really are. Thus, when the business tide turned, workforces recalled these implied promises and interpreted them as job guarantees. It is extremely important to have people understand the actual deal the company can provide. Be clear that staffing levels would change. However, also make employees comprehend what they can do to improve their value to make it less likely that they will be picked for lay offs and salary reductions.

Measure performance:

Build an accepted and valid way to judge performance before it is needed. It is important to have a credible and reliable performance management system in place when times are going well. In good times, it is easy to protect inadequate performers when staffing levels are high, but not when cutting is necessary. The best way to foster distrust, to say nothing about litigation, is to adopt a makeshift ranking system just before it is needed to reduce staff and try to use it to decide who goes and who remains.

Humanity counts:

Cut the workforce quickly and humanely. Spreading the pain around does not make much business sense. When there is a need to reduce staff, reduce it. Build a reputation for keeping people close to the meat of the business even when cutting is inevitable.

Get it over with:

Cut enough so that when it is over, it is really over. Do some staff planning and stick with it. Companies cannot continue to regain the trust of the workforce if they do not make the needed cuts and commence to regain business momentum. While it is very hard to predict the next possible economic fortunes of the business, the staff cutting must stop when management promises that it will.

Coworker hurt his knee, I’m refusing to pick up his slack, is it my fault if he becomes more injured?

If he becomes more injured or disabled because of my refusal to do his job and my job too, for no increase in pay, am I responsible for his injuries or extent of disablement in any way? Am I opening myself up to any kind of litigation? Or is it opening the management up to some kind of responsibility or litigation? If so, could the management say “we tried to get someone else to do his job, but that person refused, so its all that person’s fault not ours”
Yes, its a full time thing according to him. Its a situation where if I end up doing his jobs and mine….then that’s the way its going to be from now on. If this keeps up, who’s to say that his job won’t eventually turn into him sitting and watching TV for 9 hours a day while I bust my @ss for no extra pay?

You are not liable at all, if the employee was injured on the job, it is the responsibility to adhere to his doctors orders, not you……management has to provide reasonable caution if allowing this person to work injured, if injured further, it is the companies fault, not yours……..is not a court in the country that would anyone liable except for the company,,.

you are in the clear, if the company tells you to do part of his work, and the injured employee does anything he is not suppose to do, that is double jeopardy on the company, and he cant sue them, because he did not do what his doctor ordered for him to do.

either no work, or light duty, it is up to the doctor, not the company of how much work he is allowed to do, if the company allows him to do regular duties, and tells the person they have to, then they can sue the company, if the employee further injury’s them self by not following orders….they cant do a thing,.

don’t worry
