Beside
the capital and technology, Human Resources became the
most important factor of working process today. People!
Yes, People. Without them all of investments and
technology is useless if there is nobody to run it and
to create a new value.
Before,
the human work was not that much appreciated because the
working process was much more simple, individuals were
replaceable, so employers didn't bother too much whether
their employees are satisfied or not. That was a long
time ago, before a new technological breakthroughs that
required more skilled and trained, and above all more
motivated staff to run all operations in the business.
Today,
employment process requires a lot of planning and
attention to details. Every single employment is
important because of several aspects. |

1.
Employment process cost money. You need money for
vacancy advertisement, you need people in place to
employ others ( HR Specialists ) and their time costs
too.
2. Initial induction training requires additional costs,
financial, time and effort. Newcomer has to have basic
and advanced training.
3.
A newly employed and freshly trained newcomer needs
additional time, say 3-6 months, to develop his
potential to level to be productive to justify
everything that was invested so far.
And
then .... disaster. Person leaves his new position, soon
after initial period for several reasons. The
recruitment criteria were blurred, with wrong people
went through the selection, or the training was bad, so
the guy was confused and demotivated, or the job description and responsibilities were not clear, etc.
This
dark scenario is the worst what can happen to some
company, because a lot of time, money and manpower were
invested with absolutely no result. And we are speaking
about only one, single position. And there are many
vacancies during the year, a lot of people to be
employed, meaning a lot of separate processes, and so
on.
This
risk cannot be avoided completely, but though ca be
significantly reduced. At this point comes a newly
established and worldwide recognized science – the art
of managing of Human Resources.
