Today’s HR Managers are taking the bull by the horns when they involve themselves in the business of the company. Successful managers recognize the number one factor in productivity, morale, and retention is the relationship between employees and their immediate boss.
If HR can extend the life of their employees and help managers to retain their employees HR will ultimately save their companies money in hiring replacement employees. The best way to do this is to get involved in the business and measure the company’s successes.
Experience has taught us two things; when profits are strong, the HR manager’s work is much easier. HR contributes to the success of management when they help their managers discover the proven techniques that have made the company a success. Once these techniques are measured and trends are drawn, HR managers work with the leaders of the company to set realistic goals and incentives and maximize on their companies success.
When profits are NOT strong, the work of HR managers becomes much more difficult. During hard times, we either are not measuring the correct factors for success or not measuring at all. An effective HR manager’s responsibility is to lead his managers in determining what to measure and ignore the factors beyond their control. This takes time and great leadership. The more you involve other managers in this process, the greater the solution. A strong concerted effort of determining the successes and ignoring the failures will lead the company on the path of success.
