The
strategies used to manage human resources can affect the business by how they
are Run Company and their employees, yes some companies feel like they have to
treat their employees in an unhealthy manner and some companies want their
employees to be happy when they go to work. This helps me explain my
experiences with my jobs that I have had or am in now. Both of the jobs I have
done are within retail. Let’s define them by X and Y. My first job ever was job
X and I didn’t know what to expect, the first 2 weeks were really good, then as
the time kept going, I was just stressed with working there and going to
school. They would have me be there over 10 hours, with only one break, and
sometimes if I were to close (which would be about 75% of the time) we wouldn’t
leave the store until 3 in the morning the next day, then I would have to be
back at work by 9 am. So you can say they worked me to the max. There was also
something that I didn’t quite understand about Job X and why they would always
have all of the employees clock out at midnight and then clock back in after
it. Until I asked my parents, and they just mentioned how it was a way to get
the company to get out of giving their employees time in a half. RIP OFF. I
know, I was so mad when I found out this happened. So I really wanted to find a
better job that would appreciate my hard work I do. I was literally over
stressing myself for this job and they didn’t event seem to appreciate anything
that I do. If I were to talk to the
management of this company I would tell them that they have all their employees
working like slaves and they don’t even care, this company is literally in my
opinion ONE OF THE WORST companies to ever work for. Now that I have moved on, and at job Y now, I
am more satisfied with it. I’m not stressed out, or overworking when I really
don’t have to. I get good hours, and I love going to work, and this place actually
appreciates me, and helps me get to a better position. To me that is all about
the management of the company which included HR, in the book, they have a
quote, “Regardless of the industry segment
in which they work, most employees have the same basic wants and needs.” (Page
7) and to be honest that is true. Now and days no one wants to be
working for a company who doesn’t appreciate them, then they will never want to
go to work, or the biggest issue they won’t enjoy as much as they wish they
did, they are just there because it pays them and they can’t seem to find
anything else. Also, benefits is a need
and must have to those who are full time, if there is no bit of any kind of
benefits then they will have a hard time putting a team together. HR, is a very
crucial department, they basically set all the rules for the worldwide business
and hope there are no issues and people will agree and feel good with what they
are set.
