HR problems

Yesterday I had my GD / PI for C.E.T.

I realize this from the conversation i had with a number of like myself ,aspiring managers.

Previously there used to be two class of employee one which didn't had skills for the work and other which had skills and could also ask for premium salary.

In the last 5 years the picture has changed quiet a lot and it doesn't come to me as a surprise that though the salary are on the rise, so has been the attrition problem and the job hopping activity.

So what is at unrest???

First let see how the class of employee have changed. There are now three classes of employee and quiet different from the earlier two.
The First is class of all those employee that have completed their education and have to work for earning a salary. The second class is the one which are educated and can work and get a salary for work done. The third class is one which are educated, can work, deserve premium; but that is not the end of it with them. They are also looking for work.

But when it is so simple to classify the employees, why there is a conundrum?
It is because:

Though it is easy to screen between the first and other two.. it is difficult to screen between the second and the third class.And it is only after you have employed them for a period you realize that in which class they can actually be classified. so what we are looking for for making the distinction. A number of them.

The third class always have higher aims. They want to grow and would be ready to take greater responsibility. The trick here lies in recognizing this and rewarding the same with work and compensation. If you don't provide the either they don't see the growth. If you will decide every term of employment they will be gone (this include work, compensation, quantum of work, work timings).
The employer should never try to be smart with them; if you have the experience they are also the cream and the end result is not good for either. The development has to be mutual.
The term 'compensation' used by the industry is misnomer. Unless they think that they torture us first and they want to compensate. This then lead to what we have at hand; attrition , job hopping.The loss on the employee side is they don't develop expertise.
The second class has to be motivated first and that is all that is required. Then they become part of the third.
The first class needs to understand what all type of work is available and that they can choose the work.This will lead to enhanced efficiency; if understood by the employer as well.


At the same time HR can argue that the quality of employee has gone down and that is more than true!!

But these changes wont take place till HR comes to the forefront of Company's growth plan and realization of the fact by Education Centers that the need and the quality of the hour both has risen.
