The external environmental forces control and determine how the internal business environment would structure itself in terms of their talents, policy crafting, positioning, working dynamics, financing and so on.

Recent developments and environmental indicators show that the 'VUCA' world just got more VUCARISED. (Please, excuse my french, lol) This terminology is the only way in my head right now to describe the enormity of what businesses would have to deal with in the present reality of things.

How are businesses coping in these times? The CBN just raised its interest rate to 17.5%. Wow, that's huge, right?

In this era of increased mental health challenges, the percentage of employees who would fall into this category got increased by a 100%. The economic situation and constant fluctuations of market forces doesn't help and most individuals are left in a perpetual state of hopelessness and fear.

For business owners who want to remain afloat amidst all the turbulence, improving their employee value proposition is critical to their business survival.

Leaders of people-centric organisations know that to be successful as a business, the employees need to be wholesomely engaged and treated fairly.

We all need each other at this time - employer and employee. Your CEO is facing a number of challenges to keep the business afloat. This is the time to also lend support to keep everyone in employment. I am laying this charge on Line management staff to start leading from the bottom by being strategic, empathetic and taking ownership of their respective spaces to support the organisation to, at the very minimum, remain afloat even amidst the VUCA environment.

How are you keeping your organisation functioning in these times?

Would like to know. You may be helping someone.....

A person's character is not the same as their profession.

In time past, I used to equate where people work or their profession to how they would behave.
However, I have since been proven wrong. This realisation was borne out of my personal experiences overtime with people of different professions.

There are professional ethics to follow and live by as an employee which acts as a guide in our interactions with our internal and external customers, right?

When these ethics are circumvented with bad behaviour, then the person responsible should be held accountable. They just do not have principles, PERIOD!

The resultant effect of bad character could manifest in multiple folds for a business and the work environment as a whole. In other words, rather than a company hanging a framed photo of their values and culture mantra alone, they should go further by including work practices, behavioural evaluation systems, customer feedback, rewards for good behaviour to reinforce their organisational values for sustainability purposes.

A manager who is a bully has no moral standards. A banker who steals out of the money they are to keep for customers has zero personal ethics. An unfair judge in his pronouncements, a teacher who takes bribe from parents, a doctor who is morally decadent with their patients, same thing, and the list is endless...

People are who they are regardless of their profession. Some people are just badly behaved regardless. Only a few have principles and abide by ethics.

Therefore, when an organisation spots a principled person, they should treat them well to reinforce their good character, otherwise, such employees would disengage from a work environment that does not practice good work ethics and values.

It is a new year. Organisations should revisit their organisational culture and values by embedding initiatives and interventions that would build a workforce of reputable standards for their brand.

Hey , let's do this together...

The critical part of the job requirement was for the job holder to have knowledge of and experienced in the use of a talent management software. This was the most important aspect of being considered for the job...

If you have interviewed people to fill vacant roles in your organisation, then, this is for you. Would love to pick your brain on how you prefer responses to be delivered to certain questions especially when it has to do with a critical competency needed for the job.

The fact that a very skilled candidate who ticks all the boxes of the job competency requirements, but does not have experience in one important skill set may not necessarily mean that they may not be considered. Do you agree?

In my opinion and from experience, I believe the manner in which the candidate responds to the question is critical and would be a determining factor to being considered for employment especially if they tick all other required skill sets.

What do you think or how do you handle this in recruitment?

Be your authentic self, Stop faking it !!!

Originality would take you far in life. Fake life would only bring ruins in the short or long run.

One smart fox would sniff out the scent of fakeness soon and there the downward spiral begins.

Imagine having gone so far in life only for your fakeness to be discovered. Oops! Not a good end, right?

If you are one of those who have falsified their age, lied about work experiences on their CV, provided wrong information to the employer just to get the job, did not tell the truth about any health challenges, provided a falsified educational certificate, and used all other fake paraphernalia just to get ahead in life , you are living a fake life.

You know yourself. It is about time to right your missteps and come clean before it gets too late.

Be Warned!

This post is written borne from my experiences as a recruiter and a HR practitioner. I have seen all sorts. Trust me.

Did you know you are a culprit when you are involved in Harassment and Bullying behaviours in your Workplace?

Workplace Harassment and Bullying also happens amongst peers in the workplace and in these instances, it may be indirect actions that may not necessarily be physical , emotional or verbal.

Any behaviour which makes people feel disrespected, intimidated and is offensive fall under the category of bullying and harassment.

✨Workplace leaders, therefore, have to constantly check themselves on leading by example.

✨HR leaders should build workplace initiatives that reinforces ethical behaviours and belonginess as part of the organisational culture.

Failure to address the issues of workplace harassment and bullying amongst colleagues would lead to a toxic work culture where ethical behaviours are almost non-existent.

🙋🏻Are you a culprit or a victim of the behaviours under workplace harassment and bullying?

🙋🏻 How do you handle when you are a victim of peer workplace bullying and harassment?

Human Resources; not Event Planning

Arrrgh! Let's give the HR office some dignity, please!

Stop associating the HR office with non-strategic functions.

HR is 🙅🏻 not:

- a Party Planner 🤦‍♀️🤦‍
- an Office Decorator 🤦‍♀️🤦‍
- a Birthday Planner 🤦‍♀️🤦‍

Dear HR ,

Should you find yourself in this scenario, then, delegate or form a committee to handle this function. You can advise.

To be taken seriously by management, focus on more important issues like being strategic for one.

Start doing this and thank me later 😎

Dear employees,

If your salary expectations are very high, then you need to have matching competencies and experience for the job intended.

Stop asking for remuneration you don't deserve. Trust the process and be willing to develop to that stage where your skills and competencies would attract a high value.
