The Art of Managing People in the Field of HR

Posted on by

Managing people is for people who are passionate about helping others to succeed, who can bring out the most of the teams. Managing people is much more of an art than it is science.

“Good Management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.” – Paul Hawken

As a manager, it isn’t easy to manage a group of people. In short, your employees are the ones making your vision a reality, and making sure they do it efficiently. Here are the six basic tips to effectively manage people.

Maintain a Good Communication

It is essential to communicate well to keep the loop about ongoing projects, goals, and deadlines and inform them about going-on within the organization. Giving your staff a feedback to feel that they can approach you with any questions or issues they want to address.

Building Positive Working Relations

Having strong relationships leads to a better work. It is also important to know the members of your team individually.

Acknowledge Good Work

Provide your staff with a positive feedback it will help to build their confidence and encourage them to get more involved in the future.

Be Real

By showing the human side of yourself and allowing your staff to get to know you a bit better, your team will feel more relaxed and comfortable approaching you.

Be Decisive

A good leader needs to be able to assert their authority and make important decisions for them. Behind every success of any organization, is the quality of leadership exhibited to the employees, that motivates them to do better.

Delegate Jobs to the Right People

An employee can either be the key to your success or be the reason for your crushing downfall. This is why it is vital that you establish a relationship with your team and get to know them individually to access what their strengths are.

Manage Conflict

Conflict in the workplace should not be ignored. It could lead to a negative atmosphere, which could have implications for staff productivity and communication among the team.

Set a Good Example

It is essential to set a good example to gain their respect.

Being an effective manager is about more than just driving your employees to hard work or more efficiently. Being the manager, you are responsible for leading your staff in achieving the overall goals by communicating clearly and effectively.

“Management is, above all, a practice where art, science, and craft meet.”

– Henry Mintzberg

Management would be easy if everyone managed were hard-working, collaborative, and had a great attitude and exceptional talent. Managing is also often associated with leading. While complementary, the two skills don’t automatically come together. A good manager is someone who finds the right mix to accomplish the goals set by the organization. The leaders are able to inspire employees to do their best because they foster a stimulating working environment that thrives on collaboration and within which people feel valued and appreciated.

Advocating Positivity in the Workplace

Posted on by

Positivity is an element that helps turn situations around in a cinch. The right and positive mindset create an opportunity for success to foster even in the worst possible situations. This attitude does play an important role in the business side as it helps leaders and individuals cope up with the negativity and stress from the office. It will also open up an opportunity for the person to think in a different perspective than the way they usually do. They will be able to see the brighter side of things that will lead them to create, alter and adapt to situations when there are disparities and some changes in designated plans.

Knowing that positivity has a gigantic influence in the workplace, here are several ideas on how you can advocate or promote positivity in the workplace:

  1. Stay Organized

Much work-related stress and chaos in the workplace are due to disorganized ideas and plans. Meetings, strategic planning, and dry runs will help you and your team get a complete overview and insight on the things that should and will happen in an event or plan.

  1. Practice Effective Communication

Good communication between team members and the team leader is a key factor to ensure that everything is set in place. Genuine communication between individuals helps clarify what was planned beforehand is understood with what was meant. Positivity is fostered in good communication in terms of the decrease in misunderstandings.

  1. Smile

Facing the world and approaching it with a smile really does have its differences. You become more approachable to your clients and team members. The aura a smile possess inhibits a warm and gentle feel that really does promote positivity. When you are able to smile even at the darkest times, you might just trick your mind that you are actually happy.

  1. Leave Work at the Office

There are times that you need to rest and actually leave work. Keep work-related activities and thoughts inside the workplace.  The mental, emotional, and physical state the body has also have their breaking points. Have a break once in a while and give yourself personal time, you have a job but you still have a life. Enjoying your time will help you cope up with everything and will actually help you be more productive in your office.

Positivity is an asset that will help build you and your employees into greater heights. It might be a simple tactic or attitude to face and handle things, but the influence positivity plays has a gigantic impact.

“Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.” — William James

good Boss and a good Leader featured image

Are you a Boss or a Leader?

Posted on by

Remember the difference between a boss and a leader: a boss says go- a leader says “Let’s go!”E.M. Kelly

The key factor behind the success of any organization, is the quality of leadership exhibited to the employees, that motivates them to do better. A person can be a leader without having any official designation as such. Humans naturally follow people who inspire confidence or who command respect for various reasons.

Being a good leader may also mean being a good boss. But you can’t be a good boss if you’re not a good leader. Being a leader means showing people how to act and how to constantly become better. Leading a team is leading human being, not robots. The following represents some key distinctions of a Boss and a Leader.

Leaders Lead, Bosses Push

Leaders motivate their employers. While Bosses tends to push employees instead of directing them. When a team has confidence in a leader, it can help to improve team culture and motivate employees to contribute and clearly communicate to the team and their actions are aimed at achieving the goals together.

Leaders seek solutions, Bosses gives answers

Leaders help employees to grow by guiding them through challenges. This is how employees develop problem-solving abilities and skills that add values to a company.

Leaders don’t Micromanage

Smart leaders know that it’s the people under them that makes a company successfully. Encouraging trust in your office by delegating important tasks and acknowledging that your people are capable, smart individuals who can succeed.

Leaders work hard, Bosses let others do the work

When a company launches a project, true leaders get “in the trenches” with their teams. Seeing leaders totally willing to help and give support to the team can inspire others to do their best work.

Leaders think long-term, Bosses think short-term

Someone who cannot prepare or organize only utilizes short-term thinking. Displaying a long-term thinking skill in group talks and meetings by sharing long-term hopes or concerns.

Leaders are like Colleagues, Bosses are just Bosses

Another word for a colleague is a collaborator. Making sure the team knows that you are “one of them” and collaborate or work side by side.

Leaders put people first, Bosses put results first

Bosses without leadership training may focus on process and results instead of people. The greatest assets are the people in the organization.  The employees are the real value to an organization and that focusing on the development or people is a key ingredient for success in leadership.

A leader is a person who leads his followers, inspires, motivates and guides them in different matters. On the other hand, a boss is someone who is the owner of the business or is appointed by the owners as an in-charge of the workplace. True leaders make a commitment to assess their management styles.

3 Benefits in Hiring Under-Qualified Employees

Posted on by

In the competitive business world, we all know for a fact that job vacancies have certain qualifications. They create a boundary that filters out people who are more experienced and suitable for the role.

The most common qualification that job employers are looking for is the job experience of the candidate. This is one factor that makes fresh graduates or under qualified employees have an extremely strenuous time in finding a job that falls right into their expertise. Any person or employee has to start from somewhere, but how do we expect candidates to gain or even have experience when almost all jobs require experience for them to start.

While there are several benefits to hiring experienced workers, there are also several reasons you might want to try hiring under-qualified employees. Here are 3 benefits in hiring under-qualified employees:

  1. A Chance to Train the Candidate from Scratch

The inexperienced candidate is more susceptible and open to learning.

They are the people who possess an open mind and their willingness to learn is still quite high. The blank canvas creates an opportunity for you to mold them to your liking, there are no bad habits or things that will hinder you to develop their potential.

  1. Unconventional Approach to Work

The employee has never had a job before or is still inexperienced. It might actually be beneficial in terms of the enthusiastic approach and the dash of creativity they might possibly bring to the table. When there are meetings, they might surprise you with their suggestions, ideas, and even how to solve particular problems. They will try to go outside their comfort zone and try to say what is on their mind rather than some veterans or more experienced people do.

  1. Lower Salary and Benefit Expectations

Comparing the salary and benefits of an experienced worker from an inexperienced worker is quite on a different level of its own. More experienced workers tend to have higher salaries compared to those who are only starting. The business risk of the company to hire less experienced candidates is quite low.

Opening up an opportunity for candidates to enter your company to learn and gain experience has several advantages. Not only are you helping them learn, the company itself will also foster when they become an essential asset.

 “The secret of success is to be ready when your opportunity comes.” –Benjamin Disraeli

Breaking into a New Industry

Posted on by

There would be times that it may seem impossible to break into a new industry. You might suddenly realize that your current skill set doesn’t match the job description of your choice or you don’t have enough experience for that certain field.

Even if you have passion, but you do not have the right skill set or the appropriate knowledge, hiring you for that job might be a little bit of a challenge. Having a better grasp with the needed information and skill set required in the field you are applying for, is a good way to get started before you even think of entering a new industry.

Before you start applying for that field you have been thinking of for the past few weeks, here are some tips you should consider.

  • Skills

    Entering a new industry will be a waste of time, effort and even hard-earned cash if you don’t have the skills for the job you are applying for. Building the appropriate skills or strengthening the skills you already have will be a big plus for landing that job you always wanted in a different industry. Skills also help you make critical decisions, solve problems and develop respect in the workplace.

  • Volunteer

    This may sound boring for some, but it is a critical aspect in entering a new Industry. Volunteering is a good way to learn new things in the office you are working for now. The exposure to different tasks can help you learn new things that may be needed for the new industry. This is also a good opportunity for you to add in your resume.

  • Update Resume

    Updating your resume shows your new employer that you may have the right attitude and capability to be in the new Industry you are applying for. You should review the job description from the new field and consider redoing your resume by highlighting your skills that are in the job description.

  • Network

    Consider connecting to as many people possible that are in your desired new industry. With the millennial age and social media at the palm of your hands, it makes your life easier and makes it possible to connect to people in different industries. Having more connections in social media gives you more opportunities. It also gives you more of an edge as it gives most hiring managers and recruiters a clear idea of your skill sets and what you have.

  • Credentials

    While still possessing the skills you already have, recruiters and hiring managers might still look for skill sets that you don’t have. Invest a little bit of patience and effort to get more certifications or take advantage of online opportunities. This makes yourself more marketable. Having more skills gives you more opportunities in landing a job that you desire.

There might come a time that you would want some kind of diversity in the things that you do. You might want to transfer to a new industry and change your work. It is a challenge, of course, transferring and changing your way of work is expected to be a strenuous task. But if you keep an open mind, work hard and keep a positive view on things, it might create an opportunity for you to break into a new industry.

“Every single job is a challenge. You are walking into a set, a new character, creating a world and trying to get comfortable to do your best work.” – Felicia Day

– J. Paul Getty

A business risk is a future possibility that may prevent the management from achieving business goals. It is typical business risks facing that are broad and things you can control and things beyond your control such as the global economy.

Business risk refers to the possibility of inadequate profits or even losses due to uncertainties or unexpected events. It may decrease in demand will result in lesser sales and profits. Business enterprises constantly face two types of risk: Speculative and Pure.

Speculative Risks involves both the possibility of gain and the possibility of loss. It arises due to changes in market conditions whereas unfavorable ones may result in losses. While Pure Risks involves only the possibility of loss or no loss. It is to be noted that pure risks can be insured, speculative risks should be managed by means of financial derivatives, forward trading, and such other financial tools and measures.

It’s generally impossible to achieve business gains without taking on at least some risks. The purpose of risk management isn’t to completely eliminate the risk but to optimize the risk-reward within the bounds of the risk tolerance of your business. Risk management is a continuous, forward-looking process that is an important part of the business and technical management processes.

Business risk usually occurs in one of four ways: Strategic Risk, Compliance Risk, Operational Risk, and Reputational Risk.

Strategic Risk

It arises when the implementations of the business do not go according to the business plan. Every strategy has a risk that can be estimated as part of strategic planning. The following are a few examples of strategic risks.

Compliance Risk

It is the potential for losses and legal penalties due to failure to comply with laws or regulations. A business may fully intend to follow the law but ends up violating regulation due to oversights or error. Here are the following examples of compliance risk.

Operational Risk

It is the chance of a loss due to the day-to-day operations of an organization. It can also result from a break down of processes of the management of exceptions that aren’t handled by standard processes. The following are a few examples of operational risk.

  • Human Error
  • Information Technology
  • Insufficient Processes
  • Process Failure
  • Quality Risk

Reputational Risk

It is the loss of a company’s reputation or community standing might result from product failures, lawsuits or negative publicity.

A Risk Treatment is an action that is taken to manage a risk.

In general, there are four types of risk treatment. It involves developing a range of options for mitigating the risk, assessing those options, and then preparing and implementing action plans.

  1. Avoidance

    Deciding not to proceed with the activity that introduced the unacceptable risk, choosing an alternative less risky approach or process that meets the business objectives.

  2. Reduction

    Implementing a strategy that is designed to reduce the likelihood or consequence of the risk to an acceptable level where elimination is considered to be excessive in terms of time or expense.

  3. Sharing or Transfer

    Implementing a strategy that shares or transfer the risk to another party or parties, such as outsourcing the management of physical assets, developing contracts with service providers or insuring against the risk.

  4. Acceptance

    It is also known as risk retention, making an informed decision that the risk is at an acceptable level or that the cost of the treatment outweighs the benefit.

Millennials in management positions are much more likely to recruit based on skills, experience, and established results than they are to hire someone on the basis of a college degree.

  1.   Work-Life Balance

This is the reason why Millennials choose to work remotely. Their management will provide the tools they need to achieve the tasks they must finish during the workday and they are they will not be expected to stay late with no compensation.

Millennials are born shortly before the Digital Age. They are most likely to adapt faster in technological services and products and use a wide range of tools to communicate, to organize and achieve goals, and to complete tasks.

As the new century blossoms, Millennials are changing the way we work in tremendous ways. The key is to remain keen to continuous learning and to realize that challenge and opportunity come in all directions and packages.
