HUMAN RESOURCES PLANNING AND EMPLOYEE RELATIONS 1

Abstract

The golden rule of “treat others as you would like to be treated” has an important role in managing how organizations deal with employee relations. Most employees just want to be treated fair, honestly and in straightforward manner. When employees are unhappy, feel mistreated, lied to, manipulated or used by their employers is when they sue and this is when having the correct documentation comes into play. Motivated and happy employees will make the organization grow and succeed. Morale can be more important than any wonderful product, cutting-edge technology, or any industry experience. What is the lesson for employers? Invest in the most important asset which is the employees because satisfied employees improve all other areas of a healthcare organization especially patient care. Foremost, an organization needs and wants a happy, loyal, and motivated workforce.

Maintaining Employee Records

In any organization the human resources department has an important job of maintaining accurate and objective employee records. This job duty is of the upmost importance because personnel planning depends on effective and accurate record keeping in order for the organization to be able to recruit, train, and develop the staff to their full potential (ACAS, 2005. para. 1).

Good record keeping is crucial and can help human resources and management make decisions based on facts rather than guessing, to know what resources are available to meet the needs of employees, be able to accurately assess levels of performance, and be able to keep track of absenteeism, turnover, sickness, accidents and discipline actions in order to take the appropriate action in a timely manner (ACAS, 2005, para.1).
