Overview
Personnel Management tackles many topics but we can summarize it all using these
letter representations.
U-nity: Effective personnel management makes people to come and work together in
harmonious, creating a collaborative and effective team.
M-anagement: This is one of the most reasons why employees stay or leave. Staffs work
with satisfaction in their job if high value is given to the proper management. Expectations will
be met by employees if regulations are being practiced from the people who are in high rank
positions.
A-dministration: In here, we are looking for motivational and effective leaders, which still
comprises people. These leaders should be expert and rational. Good admin means great
work management.
Key factors to examine include recruitment policy, current staff turnover, and
employee satisfaction levels. Based on this information, you can predict your short-
and long-term staffing requirements.
Examples include:
What’s more, all staffing investments and continued professional development (CPD)
activities also form part of operational personnel management.
Examples include:
Personnel management is a tool you can use to help you put the right people
in the right place at the right time and transform your company into a learning
organization that has a competitive edge and is ready for the future.
2. Creating engagement
You can use personnel management to help you create greater engagement
in several ways, for example with fair remuneration schemes, good fringe benefits,
and opportunities for training and professional/personal development.
Sound personnel management helps you give your staff the tools and
resources they need to perform to the best of their abilities and to continue to grow
both personally and professionally. Not only are happy, satisfied employees more
productive, but they’re also more loyal because they feel more appreciated.
Staff leave your organization for many reasons: labor market shortages,
retirement, competition. Sound personnel management practices make it much easier
for you to respond in a timely fashion to staff leaving, either expectedly or
unexpectedly. This helps you prevent a ‘brain drain’ and safeguard long-term
operational continuity.
