Human Resource Management

Human Resource Management

Ask any CEO of any Fortune 500 company what the most important part of their company is, what is the one single thing that drives their company to reach new heights of success, and I guarantee you they will tell you one thing: people. People are the power behind any company, big or small. So how do you keep your people happy? How do you ensure they are working to maximum capacity and boosting your company’s productivity? The answer comes in three not so simple words: human resource management.

Many people who don’t work day and night in the business world often think that a human resource manager’s sole task is to keep their company’s people happy. As such, they should be organizing company retreats, training sessions, and holiday parties. While that is most certainly true, a human resource manager’s job description is one of the most complex and overlooked in the business world.

Of course, CEOs want their people to be happy doing their work since they know happy workers are more productive workers. But part of keeping people happy is making sure they operate in a healthy work environment. And that is where the human resource manager is most important.

How does your company manage conflict? Is it stemmed quickly from the bud or is it allowed to go unnoticeable and fester to the point of corporate destruction? What kind of training does your company provide to new employees? Do they feel confident beginning their new jobs or do they feel lost before they even get started? Answering these questions is the job of human resource management.

First of all, making sure you hire the right people, the people that are going to be the best fit for the environment, is the first step in the right direction, the first step towards keeping your company on the right path to success. Go beyond the resume and the qualifications to see the candidates for who they really are. From my own personal experience, I’ve found that some of the most highly qualified candidates are precisely so because they spent all their time studying instead of interacting with others. And an employee with an MBA and PhD will usually be of little use to you if they don’t know how to get along with anyone, be it customers or your other staff.

Once you get the right people on board, it’s up to the human resource manager to make sure the transition is a smooth one. From simple things like introducing new staff members to old ones, to providing training, to making sure all channels of communications are open at all levels of the corporate ladder, the job of managing a team is a complicated but rewarding one.

Above all else, remember that human resource management is never a one-time job. Even if everything is going as smoothly as possible, you should be monitoring and evaluating where improvements can be made. The world never sleeps, and so neither can you!

Bernard Reber
Back 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!
