The curse of every manager

Every manager, below the CEO, is cursed with having to carry out orders which they had little to no input. They were told about the decision and very seldom even asked their opinion. They might be asked how they think everyone will react or how it is going to affect their department.

But the decision has already been made. Now the higher ups are just looking for all of the managers to “make it happen”.

I see a lot of posts on LinkedIn from the HR side who want to think this only happens to them. Nothing could be further from the truth. It happens to all managers – all the time. I personally think it is a hard sell to try and show that HR is somehow the only ones with this burden.

HR has one main value, they deal with people, the most complicated organism on the planet. That is our value and that is what we should sell. We don’t work with machines, robots, numbers or facilities. We deal with people and their ever-changing issues.

That is our value and the value other managers only share for their part of the workforce. We must work with all of the departments which always have widely divergent issues.

Workforce management must find solutions that work for everyone

This is the value that we bring that no one else can claim.

What is the first thing we can do to bring that value? Dramatically cut turnover and staff up. Yes, other people have pieces of that too. But we have to be the spear head.

The HR echo chamber and what it means to you

Every week I get into conversations on LinkedIn with HR professionals regarding cutting employee turnover and staffing up. My position is factual, I have routinely cut turnover by +40% and staffed up to the mid-90s. I have done this in multiple industries, demographics, locations and size of companies for 30+ years. I have done this with little to no needed help from the C-Suite other than approval and encouragement.

You would think the first question from HR would be: “How have you done that?”

I have yet to get that response. My facts are simply rejected as not true – “impossible”. I am told that employee retention is a C-Suite issue and the C-Suite needs to take care of it. Really?

The people in the thread then all agree with each other that they are right and I am wrong. The HR echo chamber is alive and well. Interestingly, that day and the next numerous people look at my profile.

This reminds me of what happened when I first arrived at an assignment. The outgoing HR Director told me that the reason why they were only staffed at 83% was “there are no good people here, they do not exist”. She was completely convinced of it.

Within six months we were staffed and maintained at 93%. The only problem areas are the hard to fill jobs. I define hard to fill jobs as positions where the demand is 30-50% over supply in all areas of the country. These people truly do not exist.

More importantly, for the routine jobs, we started receiving a higher volume of better resumes within weeks. This is not magic; it is a process.

The very first step is to determine who you are as an employer. Within a couple of weeks of arriving, I went to the COO and told them that they had a great story.

They simply were not telling it

When I arrived, the website spoke in what I call corporate fluff. “Our greatest asset is our people” and similar cliches. We immediately started writing a new organizationally specific Employer Brand.

What makes us special? Why are we a better place to work than other options? How could we show we were not toxic? That we had the attributes the candidates were looking for? Lastly, why did the previous HR Director not see what a great place it is to work?

We rewrote the Employer Brand. Management approved, employees agreed and candidates responded.

Now we have a product, we are selling it as broadly as possible and killing the HR echo chamber!

Authority Magazine interviewed me for the following piece: "How Business Leaders Can Create a Fantastic Work Culture"

A great culture is not Taco trucks and ping pong tables. It starts with integrity, transparency, aligned goals and respect delivered consistently.

Life would be better if everyone liked their jobs. I reject certain workforce dogma that clearly doesn’t work. The world would be a better…
