Human Resource Management Experience

...

of the companies now have direct hiring of employees whether production operator or an office staff. Even job fairs now are also offering different kinds of job catered by a sub-contracting firm. The reason why many people were forced to apply job through agencies is because they have no other choice. As we undergo the interview process, I remember one question that she asked me “why did you apply for the position of production operator where in fact you are over qualified?”. In my mind I know that I should not be there but I really need a job so I answer the interviewer that I am hard working enough to learn fast everything that requires my job and very much willing to work in extended hour. She discouraged me to get into this kind of job and she emphasizes that I will be more productive if I will be a teacher and not an operator. They also conducted a battery test to check our skills and speed on working on the parts or material that eventually we will handle as we get hired in the electronics company. I accomplished all the requirements they asked from me. I waited for a month and a half before they called me for the dispatchment process. They sent us to the site where we had orientations, briefing on the processes and training to familiarize the parts, process, vendor and customers of the product that were going to create, the spindle motor.

For me their human resource management in terms of training is effective in the sense that even if my educational background is far different from what they are introducing us I learned a lot. Trainers are good and well knowledgeable; in fact some of them are an education graduate maybe that is the reason why they have the talent in teaching people. After a week of training in their human resource, there is another set of trainers to handle newly hired production operators where we will do the actual operation in manufacturing or assembling the product of the company. They have that policy of strict training on employees to achieve the company’s goal on producing quality products and at the same time meeting the demands of their consumers. Even if they are paying the salary of workers during their training to re-qualify to the process they are assigned. An operator is allowed only to perform the process where they are qualified. That is the job of internal trainer to teach, train, qualifies and ensures that workers are responsible enough and knows exactly the purpose of the process assigned to them individually and how they will execute their task efficiently. Their qualification in operating their process also expires like teachers we renew our license, with them they have to review their task and pass the exam before they are allowed to work.

Unlike in teaching we are assigned to teach other subject matter that is not our specialization. They hired teachers major in different subject areas but it is not proportioned to the actual needs of the school whether it is small, medium or large size of school depending on the number of enrolled learners. Teachers are forced to teach other subject area aside from their major of specialization even if they know themselves well that they are not that confident in doing so. Without any training provided by the school administration teacher will still teach the subject by doing his or her best effort. And in the end students outcomes are sacrificed. Administrators are expecting for best results because as teacher they always say that we should be flexible and adaptable to change especially in our new curriculum today the K-12. When is the time that human resource on education will invest thoroughly on newly hired teachers in preparing them for teaching other subject area, before admitting them in the actual classroom setting if they will not be assign to teach their major subject? It is not enough to attain full literacy on one subject area in two days or even a week for you to teach other major.

My experience in the company made me realize things that even if you earn enough or more than what you need, there will never be satisfaction if other people made you feel that you are just a simple worker. You will be sad of their way on treating people as their factory worker and nothing else special. They won’t value your loyalty and hard work because most of the owners and managers care only with the profit but not with the people who provide the profit that they want. They prefer agency or sub-contracting firm to be safe from all the benefits that a regular employee is entitled.

As we enter the world of work it opens our mind to the reality that ideal human resource management doesn’t exist.

Conclusion

As an optimistic educator we should embrace the change brought about by technology and needs of the evolving society. We should be united in order to meet organizational goals. We should refrain from practicing negative traditional way of human resource management where we tend to forget and consider the quality of education that might result from our wrong decisions only to please few influential personalities. We should prevent asking favors so we will not be hesitant to reject or refuse future request of other people in return.

Human resource in education sector must be strict in its implementation of policies not only in the form of paper or accomplishment reports but also with the outcomes or actual product progress, our students. Reducing the required time for teaching assignments and adding additional time for preparing and transforming teachers to fit the worlds 21st century educators. Making school administrators independent in giving their employees or teachers incentives for being productive depending on their efforts showed during the school year with standard guidelines to be followed by the whole division. It is because the principals are the witness to the real performance of their teaching force. This way it will be fair for teachers and it will encourage them to strive more on their everyday teaching life. It can be in the form of scholarship to upgrade the knowledge and skills of the teachers to be use also for the benefits of our students.

Actually there are really ideal HRM policies, the problem of every firm is how to implement the policy in a way that is beneficial to all the stakeholders and employees itself. It should be done with a heart for you to care for your employees and courage for you to protect the interest of your co owners and clients to be satisfied on the services that your company offers. It is also important to evaluate and validate the effectiveness of the approach used in human resource practices such as recruitment, selection, placement, appraisal and development to retain the quality possess by each individual as part of the organization. Employee commitment is needed for us to have competitive
