HR Problem

Question: How to improve the HR problems or give the solution of people quitting the job and impact of those problems on the company. Answer: Analysis of the Case The Employees with the Olam Vietnam Ltd.s Organization, do not seem to be happy with the overall work culture of the Organization in the broader terms. The employees in the present circumstances are neither having fat pay scales exceeding the Industry pay out averages, nor are they enjoying a vibrant an interactive work place culture. The existing separation between the working relationships of employees of different departments is making the work place of the companys employees isolated and lackluster. Some of the employees are taking advantage of the yearly bonus distribution pattern of the company; and their unhappy souls sought resignation as soon as the bonus amount is received by them. Issues of the Case Frequent employee resignations, especially from the Trading, Finance and Accounts department Employees. Activities and Procedures to arrest the Problem The incorporation of the following HR management strategies would help the Organization in arresting the overall problem of employee discomfort with the Organization: Systematic Job Evaluation for Jobs in trading, Accounts and Finance Departments It is quite possible that a single set of Employees are over burdened with work, like the Trading Department/ Finance Department employees. The Lack of equal distribution of work or the lack of work based payment method may be the root cause of the work stress between few of the employees, who end up resigning from their jobs. A systematic Job evaluation process pertaining to the job analysis of all the departments would help determine the worth of every job to another. This would enable equal work distribution and justified salary determination for each of the jobs performed by employee across the organization. Revamping the Bonus Payoff System, in to a Half Yearly cycle. The revamping of the Bonus distribution pattern in to a half yearly cycle would directly help control few of the resignations from the employees. The half yearly bonus distribution pattern would make the Yearend as no longer the best period to resign for the employees. Keeping the workplace interesting and lively for the Employees The work place interactions and effective interdepartmental communications are necessary aspects for retaining employee interest to their respective job roles. Also, a lively and interesting workplace, with continuous inter departmental interaction between the employees is beneficial for the overall organizational functioning.

These Human Resources management techniques of recognizing the employee efforts and contribution at work place in front of his co-workers and colleagues are very effective at times. The efforts of the employees of Olam Vietnam Ltd. if recognized in front of the other department employees may do wonders in self motivating the employees, who may start liking their assigned job roles.
