Today even after so many years of
independence it sad to know that our education system has not grown up
completely, many colleges were opened and closed, few are struggling for
survival and rest are struggling with the culture. But none of them were able
to tackle the challenges completely.
Besides the challenges of improvement in research and quality of
education, the biggest challenge is to handle the manpower and develop a good
and competitive work environment. No doubt universities and college are putting
the best effort in every area for the improvement, however, to make this happen
and achieve the goal you need a selection of intellectual and diverse people
and a good working culture.
Establishing the HR policies will
make the system strong to make it healthy, you need a person to implement it. Research
shows that if the quality of implementation is high, the chance of success
program is high.
If you are facing a problem of non-performance,
unhealthy competition, if your employees are ignoring the hierarchy, people are
less focused on the work, they are more engaged in the activities which is not
beneficial to the organization, then it is alarming situation for the organization,
you need to work on culture more, rather than the policies. Work culture gets
spoiled mainly because of imbalance of work life balance, long work hours and
inflated workloads. These creates burn out among the employees, and they become
cynical towards their work and mostly likely they will feel detached from their
workplace which may also lead to high turnover.
In today’s scenario where
competition has increased and organization is facing challenges in handling the
manpower, it is appreciating most of the organization are accepting the fact
and they are also showing concern for the improvement of the work culture.
when you get suggestion from your
employees that there is no need of HR in the organization, we “will take care”.
It is natural that management for a
while will feel that their employees are concern about the organization, and
they are willing to take additional role. But this is the time when Management
should immediately react and hire HR. Everyone is master in their work, teacher
cannot do the job of HR and HR cannot do the job of Teachers, areas and
expertise are different, hence you need different people.
There are instances where the
management hires the people without checking their expertise, just to support
the reference, hiring an employee without the expertise or openings is like
inviting the problem to create bad work culture, when the organization hire
employees randomly and give them any work, because of their inability and
incapability of doing the work and to escape form the failure they will start
playing politics for their survival.
People opt job as per their
liking and if someone like to be in technical field they will justify that,
same as HR, they have different mindset of working they care about people they
connect with them and understand them, that’s what is needed for the changes.
You can change/make them understand the need of organization only if you
understand your employees. Hire the people with their expertise, give them
freedom to work and they will create wonders.
Why do we need human resource
expertise? Human resource is the link between the management and the employees,
most of the time people think hiring & firing is the job of HR, many
organizations totally ignore the role of HR in the organization, some has a
feeling that anyone in the organization can take up this role.
HR is the most important function
of the organization; it functions like the heart of the organization. It is the
driving force behind what makes a winning team. We make the argument, the team
that fields the best players win, and HR is involved in making sure that we
field the best players, that’s the job of HR. they develop todays and
tomorrow's leader.
Working on cultural is like
changing the Human Nature of the people, the work culture gets spoiled due to
some wrong decision taken in past it could be wrong promotion/ wrong
hiring/different pay structure and many more. It takes time and involvement of
the management.
