What is people’s management?




Your employees are the biggest asset you have. Their performance and attitude can result in the success or failure of your business. The most difficult part of any manager's job is people management. He or she is required to,


a) Lead

b) Motivate

c) Train

d) Inspire

e) Encourage.

 

On the other hand, he or she is also responsible for hiring, firing, disciplining, training and evaluating. These functions seem to be at odds, but a successful manager can integrate both the positive and negative aspects of these tasks to create a positive, productive work force. 

People management, also known as human resource management (HRM), encompasses the tasks of recruitment, management, and providing ongoing support and direction for the employees of an organization. These tasks can include the following: compensation, hiring, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration, and training. 

When managing the people within an organization, a manager must focus on both hiring the right people and then getting the most out of these people. New personnel must provide the organization with the best talent available that meets the needs of the business. The organization must look ahead to how a new employee can be used to their fullest. Getting the most out of an employee means a business has consistent policies and practices in place to provide its people with appropriate training and development. Employees are involved as "partners" in the business. 

Probably the most important task a manager will face when dealing with the people under his direction is that of bringing out the best in them. Unlocking people potential is often seen as the key to any business's success. When an employee's talents are not channeled correctly, their behavior can seriously compromise the success of an organization. 

Instead of dealing with employees that develop defense mechanisms to mask their dissatisfaction with their work situation, let's look as some ways to encourage effective behavior at work. After a problem behavior has been identified, address the employee immediately. Discuss taking responsibility for the ineffective behavior, how the behavior manifests itself, and the effect the behavior is having on the organization. Next, give the employee alternatives to his current behavior. In other words, teach him or her how the principles of achievement

People Empowerment can be a very effective tool within the field of people management. This technique can be used to involve employees in any improvement program within an organization. Authority, accountability, and responsibility are delegated to the employees for improving the processes which are under their control without first having to obtain permission from management before making changes. This could be successful only when employees were recognized, congratulated, and rewarded for their commitment to problem solving.

    1. Develop rules for handling conflict. Ensure team members listen to one another, respect each other's points of view, and refrain from interrupting each other. Never take sides. Managers’ role is to help the team members address the issues causing the conflict and to reach a resolution that works well for them.

    1. "our employees are the biggest asset you have" it’s just we can’t say so.
      Here’s why….
      Now, clearly if any organizations was to lose all its employees at once, it would be in a hell of a mess; but without their most valuable asset they’d be worthless.
      Shiran it's a joint effort by the organizations and employees. It's important to keep the employees delighted and contended to make sure that the organization does not lose on its customers, profits, and most importantly market value. Employees should be recognized as a company's greatest asset.
