The Labor policy in the Philippines is specified mainly by the country's

and their limitations with regard to the hiring process, working conditions,
benefits, policymaking on labor within the company, activities, and relations
with employees.

The Labor Code and other legislated labor laws are implemented
primarily by government agencies, namely, Department of Labor and
Employment and Philippine Overseas Employment Agency. Non-government
entities, such as the trade unions and employers, also play a role in the
country's labor.

The Labor Code of the Philippines stands as the law governing


employment practices and labor relations in the Philippines. It was enacted on
Labor Day of 1974 by President Ferdinand Marcos, in the exercise of his then
extant legislative powers. It prescribes the rules for hiring and termination of
private employees; the conditions of work including maximum work hours and
overtime; employee benefits such as holiday pay, thirteenth month pay and
retirement pay; and the guidelines in the organization and membership in labor
unions as well as in collective bargaining.

The Labor Code contains several provisions which are beneficial to


labor. It prohibits termination from employment of Private employees except
for just or authorized causes as prescribed in Article 282 to 284 of the Code.
The right to trade union is expressly recognized, as is the right of a union to
insist on a closed shop.

Strikes are also authorized for as long as they comply with the strict
requirements under the Code, and workers who organize or participate in
illegal strikes may be subject to dismissal. Moreover, Philippine jurisprudence
has long applied a rule that any doubts in the interpretation of law, especially
the Labor Code, will be resolved in favor of labor and against management.

At the end of this module, student should be able to:

1. define the performance management


2. discuss the objectives of performance management
3. identify the criteria for effective performance management systems
4. discuss the approaches to performance management

Performance Management

Performance is the progressing procedure by which a person's work execution


is surveyed and assessed. It responds to the inquiries, "How well has the worker
performed during the timeframe question?" It likewise involves deciding and
conveying to a representative how he/she is performing at work and in a perfect world,
setting up an arrangement of progress. Execution is frequently mistaken for the
exertion that alludes to vitality used.

as the achievement of a employee or director's appointed obligations and results
delivered on a predetermined activity capacity or movement during a predefined
timeframe. Performance review or assessment, then again alludes to a deliberate
depiction and survey of a person's activity execution. The significant commitment of
execution the executives is its emphasis on accomplishing results – valuable items and
administrations for clients inside and outside the association. Performance
management diverts endeavors from business towards viability. It is a HRM
movement where the individual specialist's productivity is watched and assessed
during the given time frame based on a fundamental uniform exhibition standard. It
helps distinguishing, gathering, sharing and utilizing data about the presentation of
individuals at work.

organization between a worker and his/her immediate superior. It includes building up
clear desires and comprehension about the accompanying:

 The basic occupation works the worker is relied upon to do


 How the representative's occupation adds to the objectives of the association

Module 7

 How the worker and boss will cooperate to support and improve and expand on
existing representative execution
 Identifying the boundaries to execution and evacuating them
 Refers to the complete arrangement of social occasion data, the audit and
criticism to the individual, and putting away data to improve hierarchical
viability.

Why Measure Performance?

1. Managers can't oversee and characterize what is normal and gives input and
acknowledgment without characterizing the premise or execution
measures. It permits the executives to indicate what must be done and to
join input with objective setting.

2. On the piece of the representative, he/she can't enhance what he/she should
manage without the essential information when to check whether execution
really improving.

3. Creating superior requires a meaning of clear objectives so you will know


it when you see it. What's more, all superior workers arrive on the grounds
that they have an away from of where they're going.

4. Pay for execution requires measurements. On the off chance that the
association will be giving compensation dependent on execution, there is a
need to have some method of knowing when the payout has been earned.

The goal of Performance management

The principle objective of performance management is to guarantee that


the organization as a framework and its subsystems cooperate in a coordinated
manner for achieving ideal outcomes or results.

The significant goals of performance management are talked about beneath:

 To empower the employees towards accomplishment of prevalent


guidelines of work execution.

 To help the workers in distinguishing the information and abilities


required for playing out the activity proficiently as this would drive
their concentration towards playing out the correct assignment in the

obstructions through steady checking, instructing and improvement
mediations.
 Creating a reason for a few authoritative choices key arranging,
progression arranging, advancements and execution based installment.
 Promoting self-improvement and headway in the vocation of the
workers by helping them in gaining the ideal information and aptitudes.

Criteria for effective performance management systems

Deciding what to evaluate reflects the personal values of the individuals who
design the evaluation system. Three criteria are suggested to be in the construction of
performance evaluation:

1. Relevance – relevant performance dimensions are determined by the duties


and responsibilities contained in the job description.

2. Reliability – Produced consistent and repeatable evaluation

3. Freedom from contamination – should measure each employee’s


performance without being contaminated by factors that an employee
cannot control such as economic conditions, material shortage, or poor
equipment.

Components of Performance Management System

Any effective performance management system includes the


following components:

1. Performance Planning

Performance planning is the primary essential part of


any performance management procedure which frames the
premise of execution examinations. Performance planning is
together done by the appraisee and furthermore the reviewee
in the start of a presentation meeting. During this period, the
workers settle on the objectives and the key execution zones

Module 7
Special Topics in Human Resource Management 4
Performance Management

which can be performed longer than a year inside the


exhibition financial plan., which is concluded after a shared
understanding between the revealing official and the
representative

2. Performance Appraisal and Reviewing

The evaluations are typically performed occasionally in


an organization as mid surveys and yearly audits which is
held toward the finish of the financial year. In this
procedure, the appraisee first offers oneself topped off
evaluations in the self-examination structure and
furthermore depicts his/her accomplishments over some
undefined time frame in quantifiable terms. After the self-
examination, the last appraisals are given by the appraiser to
the quantifiable and quantifiable accomplishments of the
worker being assessed. The whole procedure of survey looks
for a functioning support of both the worker and the
appraiser for breaking down the reasons for provisos in the
presentation and how it very well may be survived. This has
been talked about in the exhibition input area.

3. Feedback on the Performance followed by personal


counseling and performance assistance

Input and guiding is given a ton of significance in the


presentation the executives procedure. This is the phase
wherein the representative gets mindfulness from the
appraiser about the regions of enhancements and
furthermore data on whether the worker is contributing the
normal degrees of execution or not. The representative gets
an open and a straightforward criticism and alongside this
the preparation and advancement needs of the worker is
additionally distinguished. The appraiser receives all the
potential strides to guarantee that the worker meets the
normal results for an association through successful
individual advising and direction, coaching and speaking to
the representative in preparing programs which build up the
skills and improve the general profitability.

4. Rewarding great performance

This is an imperative part as it will decide the work


inspiration of a worker. During this stage, a representative is
freely perceived for good execution and is compensated.
This stage is extremely touchy for a representative as this

Performance Management

may impact the confidence and accomplishment direction.


Any commitments properly perceived by an association
helps a representative in adapting up to the disappointments
effectively and fulfills the requirement for love.

5. Performance Improvement Plans

In this stage, new arrangement of objectives are set up


for a worker and new cutoff time is accommodated
achieving those goals. The representative is plainly
conveyed about the regions where the worker is required to
improve and a specified cutoff time is likewise appointed
inside which the representative must show this
improvement. This arrangement is together evolved by the
appraisee and the appraiser and is commonly endorsed.

6. Potential Appraisal

Potential evaluation frames a reason for both parallel


and vertical development of workers. By actualizing
competency planning and different evaluation procedures,
potential examination is performed. Potential examination
gives urgent contributions to progression arranging and
occupation turn.

Performance Measures Criteria

1. Strategic Congruence – The degree to which the presentation the


board frameworks evokes work execution that is steady with the
association's technique, objectives and culture.

2. Validity – The degree to which a presentation measures evaluates


all the importance all the applicable parts of the activity execution.

be agreeable or satisfactory.

5. Specificity – The degree to which execution measure gives point by


point direction to workers about what is anticipated from them and
how they can meet those desires.

Module 7
Special Topics in Human Resource Management 6
Performance Management

Approaches to Performance Management

Organizations can use different strategies and approaches for the purpose of
measuring performance of their employees. The five major approaches are:

1. Comparative approach of measuring performance

Comparative approach includes positioning a worker's


performance regarding that of others' in the team. People are
positioned based on most noteworthy to the least performer.
There are a few strategies for similar methodology, for example,
constrained dispersion procedure, combined correlation and
realistic rating scale (Noe 2008).

 Forced Distribution strategy includes positioning representatives


in gatherings.

 Paired Comparison Technique is the point at which the


appraiser contrasts one entertainer and the other and allots a
score of 1 for the better worker. The last execution score is the
summation of all the triumphant focuses.

 Graphic Rating Scale involves rating the representative on a size


of 1 to 5 (most reduced to most noteworthy). Blended rating
scale is an increasingly layered type of estimation. In the initial
step, the worker is evaluated as high, medium or low on a given
arrangement of boundaries. Every boundary is then separated
and scaled as above (+), equivalent (0) or underneath (- )
(Shaout and Yousif 2014).

2. Attribute approach of measuring performance

In this system, the employees are rated on the basis of a specific


set of parameters such as:

a. problem solving skills,


b. teamwork, communication,
c. judgment, creativity and
d. innovation.

The significant disadvantage with attribute methodology of


performance measurement is that of subjectivity. At the end of the day,
it might be intensely dependent on the idea of the evaluator. Another
restriction of this technique is that, it is exact at recognizing simply the
best and the most noticeably negative performer. In any case, the

Module 7
Special Topics in Human Resource Management 7
Performance Management

benefit of this strategy is its effortlessness, in view of which most


organizations embraced it (Landy and Conte 2007).

3. Behavioral approach of measuring performance

This is one of the most seasoned performance measurement


methods. The Behavioral methodology comprises of a progression of
vertical scales for various components of the activity. This should be
possible utilizing BARS strategy or BOS method. The Behaviorally
Anchored Rating Scale (BARS) procedure comprises of five to ten
vertical scales. These scales depend on boundaries (called "anchors")
which are chosen consensually from all workers. Employees are then
positioned on every one of the grapples as indicated by their
presentation.

4. Result approach of measuring performance

This approach is a simple and straight-forward concept, wherein


organization rate employees on the basis of employee performance
results.

 Balanced Scorecard technique. This technique focuses on four


perspectives namely:

MODULE 6 Manpower Outsourcing

Organizations particularly business generate huge budget and cost on


manpower. In this topic, it will discuss the outsourcing as alternative to more
efficient utilization of manpower and an alternative for cut cost in operations.

At the end of this module, student should be able to:

1. define the outsourcing


2. learn and understand the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing
3. learn and understand the impact and effects of outsourcing
4. discuss the challenges of outsourcing in the Philippines

What is Outsourcing?

HR resource outsourcing includes recruiting organizations to oversee


staff capacities, including the organization of explicit activities like archive
handling, producing, promoting, medical advantages, retirement plans, and
laborers' pay protection. It likewise incorporates recruiting, preparing, and
lawful mastery. Human asset re-appropriating (HRO) happens when a business
teaches an outside provider to assume liability (and hazard) for HR works and
play out these errands for the business. Finance redistributing is regularly re-
appropriated for two reasons: it's a tedious authoritative undertaking for bosses,
and there are numerous pro organizations with the innovation and information
to run it productively and consistently (hrzone.com)

A few organizations will redistribute their whole HR office while


others will simply re-appropriate tedious authoritative tasks, which permit their
inside resource to concentrate on the vital level. Small organizations recruit
outside firms to direct finance, make good on business burdens, and oversee
hazard.

Favorable circumstances of Outsourcing

HR outsourcing diminishes the fixed expense of overseeing


representatives. HR firms can be increasingly effective in light of the fact that
the ability and framework are now set up. Small businesses save money and
time by hiring HR firms and are better able to offer a wider range of benefits:

1. Health insurance plans, including health maintenance organizations


(HMOs), preferred provider organizations (PPOs), and health
savings accounts (HSAs)
2. Social security counterpart fees

Module 6
Special Topics in Human Resource Management 2
Manpower Outsourcing

3. Retirement plans and benefits, and credit unions


4. Voluntary benefits, such as sickness, travel, and long-term disability
plans

Disadvantages of Outsourcing

The most noteworthy disadvantage to labor outsourcing is poor inner


correspondence in light of the fact that the outsourcing organization isn't
nearby and doesn't embrace and doesn't have a decent feeling of the
organization's way of life. employees can't simply drop into the HR office for
concerns. Thus, they may feel strange.

Manpower outsourcing could extraordinarily obstruct hierarchical


learning. Being off-site and disengaged implies they can't sufficiently
encourage hierarchical learning by giving a proceeding with string that
underpins corporate personality. Representatives may create doubt and begin to
question the board as different divisions may think about whether they, as well,
will be re-appropriated.

An inadequately run re-appropriating organization could make debacles


by unintentionally releasing delicate organization data, not conveying
sufficient administrations, or failing and leaving a customer with no HR
administrations, ordinarily occurring in little labor offices because of absence
of assets, errors and helpless correspondence from customer organization.

Impact and Effects of outsourcing

A developing number of business people and organizations overall are re-


appropriating their non-center assignments to seaward areas, especially the
Philippines. Named as the new call place capital of the world, this Southeast Asian
archipelago end up being a dependable supplier of world-class client care and other
particular expert administrations.

In return for the unrivaled nature of work, it gives to these organizations, a


developing change in the white collar class populace occurred. Also, the joblessness
rate in this creating nation likewise diminishes. For the business and nation doing the
re-appropriating, it implies less operational expenses and more control of assets.

Many fulfilled customers who received the rewards of redistributing


employments trust it is a vital move for any business. The accompanying constructive
outcomes of redistributing employments to the Philippines or somewhere else, have
been demonstrated by numerous individuals of these organizations:

Module 6
Special Topics in Human Resource Management 3
Manpower Outsourcing

1. More grounded organizations inferable from improved concentration


and effectiveness. Private company and huge global organizations all
focus on proficient business tasks, and redistributing occupations
encourages them achieve that objective. As an ever increasing number
of organizations are re-appropriating their undertaking to outsider
experts, they can concentrate on their center skills while their re-
appropriated staff expertly handles the non-center parts of their
organizations.

2. Expertly-run organizations over all levels with lesser money related and
time venture. Redistributing permits labor to work with the specialists,
however for a small amount of the cost, it would take to recruit them
full-time. The re-appropriating supplier will be the one to deal with the
costly and repetitive procedures of employing and preparing the
specialists.

The workplace gear, advantages, and remuneration of these


specialists will likewise be carried by the picked supplier. This critical
expense and time-reserve funds gives more noteworthy adaptability
over assets as well as encourages a business and industry update.

3. Extending organizations because of expanded consumer loyalty. In


light of the expanded operational effectiveness in addition to the
expansion of master information and abilities, organizations who
redistribute employments have higher opportunities to support their
clients' fulfillment levels. Thusly, this gives organizations a lot of
chances to develop and grow.

An improved client support coming about because of all the improved


business forms gets more clients and rehash business. From the business point
of view, business extensions add to more beneficial rivalry and fill in as
effective models for others to copy.

These three impacts of redistributing occupations are very useful for


entrepreneurs just as the clients they serve.

Additionally, Outsourcing is perceived as a 'vital help' to organizations


that need to expand effectiveness and decrease costs. From data innovation to
bookkeeping and promoting to HR, business elements of little and medium
organizations are being redistributed increasingly more to the top re-
appropriating goals, for example, India and the Philippines.

Likewise with any methodology, the more advantages you show signs
of improvement, and with re-appropriating, you clearly get a ton. Re-
appropriating is valuable to the point that a few specialists trust you could even
run a whole organization while never recruiting a solitary worker.

Challenges of Outsourcing in the Philippines

Difficulties confronting the outsourcing industry are the equivalent looked by


some other medium-to-enormous business activity in the Philippines:

 HR strategy and rule of law. This permits "associated" organizations


to violate the strategy and the law to get business advantage without
results. For instance, not paying government disability commitments or
medical coverage, undermining charges (which results to workers
deliquencies)

 Politics and wasteful initiative. Numerous conventional administrative


procedures either don't move, or move there is under the table
installments. "Padrino" framework is interminable and fundamental,
saying "its not what you know, it's whom you know".

 Education and employment confuse. Characterized as a specialist in


an occupation that doesn't compare with his/her degree of training,
experience, abilities or interests. One of the difficulties looked by work
gracefully, this could upset the work power just as the organizations
occupied with redistributing, exceptionally employments these days are
differing which requires wide assortments of abilities and aptitude.

 The nature of foundation and web availability. As far as


transportation, this causes a colossal delay the efficiency of the
employees who for the most part need to spending 3-4 hours every day
simply getting to and from work. For web network, web speeds in the
Philippines keep on falling behind most nations on the planet, as per
PhilStar, 2019 positioning eleventh slowest in transfer speed and
sixteenth slowest in download speed among 87 nations, as indicated by
the most recent report of portable investigation organization
OpenSignal.

 Expensive and shaky force sources. There are insufficient base-load


power plants that can give power day in and day out even in significant
islands like Luzon and Mindanao. This is a direct result of monetary
and policy driven issues concerning defilement.

saturates all viewpoints relating to the HR at work while guaranteeing that the

opportune individuals in the association and empowering them to empower the
business on the loose.

Module 4
Special Topics in Human Resource Management 3
Talent Management

ability pools that should be taken advantage of must be recognized ahead of


time to keep the procedure as smooth and proficient as could be expected under

has worked for itself, becomes an integral factor since that chooses the nature
of uses that come in.

This includes utilizing a series of tests and checks to locate the correct
counterpart for the job – the perfect individual association fit. Composed tests,

most appropriate choices and to locate the perfect match.

4. Developing:

Many organizations today work on recruiting for mentality and


preparing for abilities. This bodes well in light of the fact that while you would
need an inclination to certain ranges of abilities, the individual you are
recruiting and not the CV. Creating workers to assist them with developing
with the association and preparing them for the ability expected to add to
business achievement likewise assembles dedication and improves
representative commitment. This starts with a compelling association program
to enable the worker to subside into the new job, trailed by giving plentiful
chances to upgrading the abilities, inclination and capability while additionally
empowering development through directing, training, coaching and occupation
pivot plans.

For any organization to be really fruitful, reasonably, ability should be

profession focuses however they are all change devices that empower the

the changing needs of the organization the evolving talent expectations and the
pace set by changes within the industry.

Talent Management Strategy

Talent Management is certainly not a negligible agenda of prerequisites


that should be done – it is a procedure that needs cautious execution,
customary checks, and persistent improvement. Coming up next are the six
essential ability the executives procedures that fill in as the mainstays of
individuals capacities.

1. Detailed Job description

An all around informed, itemized set of working responsibilities helps


the sourcer, the sourcing programming, and the competitor comprehend the
activity job better. Conventional sets of responsibilities just serve to befuddle
all gatherings associated with the ability securing procedure and lead to an
influx of superfluous applications. Data that must be a piece of the expected set
of responsibilities incorporates the accompanying:

Module 4
Special Topics in Human Resource Management 6
Talent Management

 Job title and area


 Overall obligations
 Skills required
 Reporting lines
 Tools and gear utilized
 Salary and advantages

With these, competitors can settle on an educated choice on whether to


apply or not and sourcers get CVs that fit the bill better.

2. Individual association fit

A representative that doesn't fit into the hierarchical culture can nor be
the most joyful worker nor the most economically gainful one. While the way
of life can be hard to characterize in words, it is predominant in activities and
very straightforward whether a competitor would be a solid match or not.
Individual and hierarchical qualities need to have a specific level of cover for
any representative to feel comfortable inside the association. Without an
agreeable individual association fit, the most measure of time, exertion and
vitality would go into endeavors at change. Recruiting up-and-comer with the
correct P-O fit (or PE fit) in this manner enormously improves the odds of
better worker commitment, higher representative fulfillment, and typically
better execution.

3. Work together mentor develop

A significant technique to make ability the board increasingly


compelling includes making a culture of training, coaching (even converse
tutoring) and joint effort. Productive criticism goes far with regards to helping
workers advance and build up their abilities and mastery. Overseeing ability is
in this way about setting them up for the eventual fate of the association – to be
prepared for changes down the way and to have the option to depend on one
another.

4. Reward and perceive right

The procedure of remunerations and acknowledgment shapes a


significant piece of the methodology to rouse, draw in and oversee workers
better. This goes past monetary prizes and extra bundles. Studies point towards
the way that representatives frequently need R&R plans that propel them with
"prizes" that are generally pertinent to them as people. This is an extraordinary
open door for associations to show their workers the amount they care for them
as people and as indispensable parts of the authoritative apparatus.

Module 4
Special Topics in Human Resource Management 7
Talent Management

5. Open doors for persistent improvement

Overseeing ability should be placed with regards to the future that the
association has imagined for itself. Along these lines, representatives should be
outfitted with the correct devices to have the option to amplify their own latent
capacity. For the nonstop improvement of the association, there should be the
degree and open doors for the constant advancement of its workers. In
addition, this guarantees the combined aptitudes inside the association is
refreshed, updated and upscaled.

Talent Management includes deliberately planning career ways that


bode well for each representative. We as a whole will in general work better
we know where we are going and what the following stop is for our vocations.
This doesn't involve making void guarantees of advancements yet rather
making a lifelong guide in conversation with the representative, ensuring that
they identify with it and feel that it is reasonable while additionally furnishing
them with all the fundamental apparatuses to make the guide a reality. Having
a guide to follow additionally improves maintenance scores since
representatives at that point realize what they need to anticipate and move in
the direction of and would then be able to team up viably to accomplish it.

data, for example, government security numbers, places of residence, conjugal
status, and even once in a while clinical data. HR has an obligation, at that

Module 2

point, to guarantee classification and circumspection while dealing with all


desk work and records.

historical verifications on individuals before recruiting to guarantee that they
don't have a criminal record or basically to affirm the data from their
application is authentic. Some organization's utilization historical verifications
to guarantee consistence. This is one way that HR attempts to secure the
organization's advantage – by attempting to decrease their hazard and risk.

3. Segregation and bias: HR bunches are legitimately committed to rehearse


certain screenings while selecting recently recruited employees – Some
worldwide laws especially the Philippines laws order certain work laws and
norms, including not rehearsing oppression individuals for age, sex, race,
veteran or incapacity status. It's significant that HR experts know about work
laws and are utilizing decision making ability when screening applications. It's
likewise significant that HR knows about unfair conduct at the administration
level after somebody is recruited. Up-and-comers can't be terminated for a

orientation or wellbeing is certainly not a legitimate purpose behind firing
work, and it is HR's lawful obligation to guarantee that administration
rehearses are reasonable. HR should likewise offer administration preparing to
teach chiefs, particularly new administrators, in how to cooperate with
representatives as an administrative level. This can assist with diminishing
issues of bias and ensure the business' advantage.

piece of all new worker on-boarding training. Organizations ought to likewise
command normal training for directors. At long last, if a provocation grievance
comes up, it's HRs employment to deal with the procedure, so HR directors
should be prepared in how to lead a reasonable, unbiased, and intensive
examination.

5. Wellbeing: Employers are required to give employees a sheltered working


environment. HR's help of this ensures both the representative truly, and the
business lawfully. The Occupational Safety and Health Act necessitates that
businesses follow obligatory least wellbeing and security principles.

6. Equivalent compensation: One significant compensation related order is


that employees must be paid similarly for equivalent work. In the event that
there is a more young individual and a more established individual with a
similar activity title answerable for similar obligations, the pace of pay should
be the equivalent. In the event that a man and a lady are playing out that

Module 2
Special Topics in Human Resource Management 5
Legal and Political Environment

everyday work and have a similar activity title, the organization must
guarantee that their pay rates are the equivalent.

7. Other finance issues: Employers are lawfully committed to pay their


managers a lowest pay permitted by law according to gave by National Wage
and Productivity Commission (NWPC) and furthermore represent additional
time pay for a considerable length of time worked more than 40 hrs.. Keeping
precise exception representative records (to represent pay versus hourly
representatives, for example) is fundamental in consenting to pay laws.

The lawful parts of human asset the board can be intricate, and this rundown
isn't comprehensive. It does, whoever, feature the heap of ways that lawful
issues in HR can introduce themselves.
