Dear All,
This is a very practical problem which deserves attention. With my experience for about 16 years in HR consultancy, this has been an issue faced more than any other issue and many organizations who have been victims of this phenomenon.
This is a lesson to be learnt early in managing the human resources employed. Couple of issues which bring this phenomenon to light / panic is only when organizations feel the need for;
AUTOMATION - a very large resistance develops due to fear of loosing jobs and increments in salary ( loss of overtime wages etc.,
ACQUISITION / SOLD TO A CORPORATE - MIXED FEELINGS - Fear is loss of job, happy within that they may be paid well etc.,
PROFIT DECLINES - WITH INCREASED EFFORTS - This is what brings to limelight the in-efficiency brewing inside the functional departments.
Now, to get rid of this the following inputs are required for the employees & the employers.
1. When globally organizations are working towards profitability through systems, process changes, re-engineering, and innovation within the organization to face the buyers market, we should bring the fear intrinsic in the minds that it is not a change for individuals but a change for the organization itself. Failure to cope can lead to closure. "If this is the case for an organization we are the employees and together we need to survive".--Should be etched in the minds of employees.
2. Performance Management systems, with inclusive learning for additional skills or knowledge should become a part of any growing organization.
3. Appreciation for good skills and applicators knowledge should be welcome and they can become motivators and internal trainers to groom the rest.
4. Today we are concentrating on reverse learning. i.e., application oriented ease at work, and systems which are effective for best results to be taught by seniors to juniors and Juniors to teach and train seniors in new technology or updation required for excellence in line with the market demand.
Well, to implement all this a true HR soul is required with understanding that manpower rightly handled is an asset with multiplied returns.
Wishing all a Happy New Year,
