Managing Human Resource is a challenge

Managing human resource has changed. Previously managing human resource is only towards getting the requirement form departments for personnel and later advertise and doing the selections followed by recruitment.

Training only comes when there is brochures send by agencies or human resources training companies and later the HR manager would distribute to all head department and inquire ‘who wants to send staff for training?’ ‘We still have some budgets for this year’!!

Practice has change now a days, the HR has a vital stand together with the corporate planner (who does the strategic planning for the company) and also the CEO or directors. It is to align the HR with the corporate vision, mission and objectives. Later HR manager or head is responsible to build a capable organization to ensure the strategy planned could be executed effectively. The failure or the strategic executions is crucially depending on the strategic planner/corporate planner and HR.

The challenges in being an HR currently is more difficult compared to last 10 years or even last 5 years.

Ethics, does it carry any meaning to global warming?

We have been talking, preaching, giving speeches on global warming. The President of US, the Malaysia’s premier and almost everybody in town talking about t. The question is, “does it help? Do all this people really mean what they that they? Do we?

Let’s evaluate. We get up in the morning; do we change our habits for not smoking cigarete? for not using anything that might cause global warming? Air-condition?

Then we start our car. Make a move to our lovely office. Do we change by preserving the air and not polluting the air by using public transport, by cycling to office, by car pooling? we don’t. We are not going to be late to the office or we get fired. Or because the government is not seriously making a move towards they says; “preserve the world”, “reduce the global warming”. There are no electric buses; all the busses are using diesel with all the black smokes and it hurts the eyes, hurts the lung and it sticks to our nice ironed shirts and pants.

The moment we reach our office, it is centralized air-condition, one of the biggest contributors to the global warming. To those working in the factories they just continue the last night shift, releasing the entire nitrogenous compound (via the smoke) to the air.

While he is one of the people who are responsible to release that compound into the air, he is happy, “I am doing my job, I have done it, and my immediate superior shall admire me.”

The release is 24 hours a day until and forever. So that goes to every body. Actually who is saving the world? Who is destroying the world? I think the best words to say are “Let us destroy the world faster and the speed now is still slow. We need to destroy the world faster and faster so that many people will die faster, and including us.”

For that reason, with we do not understand ethics in work place, ethics is business and apply ethics in our life, we are just another murder to the beautiful world.
