HR For Non-HR Line Managers

 

HR FOR NON-HR LINE MANAGERS

 

– Understand HRM & the dynamism within Employment Laws & Legal Provisions

 

Introduction

 

In organizations, the harmony at work and the evolvement and practise of positive work ethics is always obtained from the cumulative effort of the all-important manpower. Managing these key assets requires a lot of management, leadership, EQ and understanding of the legal provisions.

 

The discipline and performance of this labour force determines the organization’s high level of attainment, or alternatively, their indiscipline may lead to retrogression. Thus, whilst the leadership is bent on motivating and developing them, the principles of integrity, fairness and firmness in disciplining these employees are expected to flow simultaneously from these direct operations as well as from the support Departments.

Inevitably then, the leadership, to achieve continuous growth and success of the organization will have to be managed within the ambit of existing Malaysian Labour Laws. The situation is now complicated, as our labour market is now extensively open to real diversity of foreign workers and immense changes.

 

Thus, the understand of Human Resource Management and the enforcement of industrial discipline by these Head of Departments and their Managers who control large operational departments face the biggest challenges as their organization move forward in this competitive drive to gain a bigger share of its products or services within the industry in this globalized world.
