Human Resources Management
Human Resources Management
First of all, you want to try to prevent any conflict before it ever begins. Clear job descriptions, so everyone is aware of their own tasks, will definitely help. Holding training sessions for your employees – as well as yourself – about how to avoid or deal with conflict would also be a good idea. And, make sure you keep the lines of communication open between you and your staff. They should know that they can come to talk to you about a problem without any fear of repercussion.
While that is a first step, like I already said, conflict is almost always unavoidable. And, while it might inevitably pop up, it does not need to inevitable become a make or break issue. Instead, if you can learn how to resolve it to all parties’ satisfaction, it could actually become a productive and team building experience.
So, the first step to resolving conflict and successful human resource management is to identify the problem. In a non-confrontational way, make sure that that everyone who is involved in the issue – whether they know it or not – are made aware of what is going on. Like they say, admitting there is a problem is the first step to recovery. If some people are denying there is anything going on, then that is your first sign that there really is a problem that needs dealing with.
Once everyone involved has been made aware of the problem, have an open and safe discussion about what each of their views are towards it. Let your staff know that they can say whatever they want without fear of penalty. And, make sure each and every person has had their chance to speak and be heard.
Once the issue has been clarified, it’s time to come to a resolution. In an ideal world, ask each of your staff members what would be their desired outcome. Then, try to come to some sort of compromise that is realistic yet effective. Identify common long term goals that everyone can work towards. Also, establish a contingency plan. If this compromise does not work, what will be the fallout?
Human resources management is a challenging task, but also one of the most rewarding within a company. In this role, you are not only responsible for seeing the company move forward, but also the individuals behind it, and often times that is where the real reward is.

One of the most challenging aspects of human resources management for any small business owner is dealing with workplace conflict. You might think that because your company is precisely a small one, and potentially very close knit, that you will be exempt from having to deal with conflict. But, I can almost guarantee you that at one point or another down the road, you are going to either witness or experience yourself disagreements with others in your own small community. So why not prepare yourself now and learn how to prevent those disagreements from becoming full-out feuds.

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
