Human Resources Management Pieces

…PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET. PLACING THE PEOPLE PIECES PROPERLY IS BEST ACHIEVED THROUGH A SYSTEM BASED ON MEASURABLE ACCOUNTABILITY…

Top 10 common missing puzzle pieces in a HR Management System:

Does your Business Plan help build your business team? When did last update your Business Plan and analyze your business model? The world is always changing around us, so we must stay ahead of the game by periodically reinventing our approaches.
Do you have a company Policy and Procedure Manuel (SOP)? Is it designed to hold your staff accountable for their performance? CAN YOU EVALUATE OR MEASURE THEIR PERFORMANCE IN A DEFINED WAY WITHOUT WATCHING THEIR EVERY MOVE? Are you they running the show or are you they?
Are you receiving the return on your labor investment (ROI) that you should? If labor is your biggest expense, what kind of return are you getting on it? Have you ever done a Productivity Analysis of your business?
How effectively do you manage the administrative personnel in your company? We’ve heard hundreds of stories of how business owners have been “taken to the cleaners” by untrustworthy office managers and bookkeepers.
Do you stay on top of all the information that is relevant to your marketplace, industry, products, new equipment, regulations and taxes?
What are you doing to maintain a positive company culture and develop a team-oriented mentality? Do you have a proactive incentive program in place?
How did you determine your company structure and have you ever considered changing it?
Do you have any Statistical Reporting System in place, or have you developed a benchmarking approach to track the growth of your business?
Have you established a system to effectively schedule, execute, monitor and follow-through?
HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOURSELF? Do you have a time management system? While people are a business’s most significant asset, the decision makers are the most important people.

You may not think of your management style as a system, but, believe us, it is. If it lacks consistency, you are creating a potentially negative environment in your business. A system that is consistent, fair and structured with a degree of flexibility is exactly what you need. Otherwise, you will be constantly reinventing yourself and confusing everyone around you.
