Certain blunders done by HR departments can make massive damage to profits. To increase the odds of survival, there are a few tips you can follow to avoid massive damages:
1. Do not delay in hiring the talented ones:
Instead of dragging out the hiring process, organisations must interview all candidates for a position on the same day and ask them the same list of questions so they can easily compare and evaluate the applicants. Then it becomes easier for the employer to decide on who gets the job later the same day or else the talented ones will be missed
2. Evaluate employees:
Certain companies hire and fire based on their gut feeling. This may become a regretful decision eventually because employees can file a claim of discrimination if they are a protected class and employee relation lawsuits can be very expensive. It is necessary to document employee relation situations to prove that proper action was taken place and warnings were provided.
3. Quit paper work:
Many small organisations follow the paper work process to track time and attendance which is a waste. Organisations must consider in using technology-based solutions for these tasks which would allow focusing in core business activities and allows HR to focus more on strategic point.
4. Stop having favourites at work:
Employees who feel mistreated would become very disgruntle working with you which would lead the employees at first to feel demotivated and then eventually would lead to quitting the job. When employees feel demotivated, they do not give in their 100% of effort and it makes no good to the organisation but a waste of the employee investment. Recruiting a new employee tor eplace again inures a lot of costs like training, etc. Therefore it is best to keep your employees happy which motivates them give in a 100% of their effort.
5. Not creating proper Job descriptions
Most business owner’s neglect creating proper job description which makes it difficult to recruit the right people for the job since a proper job description includes required skills, experiences and qualifications. HR should only accept interviews of candidates that meet those requirements.
