I was researching the other day and I came across an article that listed the nine toughest human resource problems. I am not exactly sure how accurate these are, but I thought they were pretty interesting. I wanted to talk about them and what I thought about each issue.
1. How to deal with a negative co-worker.
When people don't like their job and or don't like their company, it can be hard to be around them for an entire workday. I would start out with talking to the employee and determine what exactly is making them frustrated at work. Maybe the employee actually has a good reason for being negative all the time. If the employee is negative and is simply just a negative person, with no reasoning, it might help to suggest the employee to speak to someone in human resources. If worst comes to worse, just limit your exposure as much as you can to that person or go yourself to human resources and talk to them about the issue. Being around someone negative all the time might start to rub you in the wrong way.
2. How to implement strategic planning.
I decided to research some ways to make strategic planning happen in the workplace. Strategic planning is the way to go of how to make change of any kind happen in your organization.
3. When management systems fail, why employees don't do what you want them to do.
When an employee doesn't do what they are suppose to, usually there are two people to blame: the employee and his manager. One way to get employees motivated is empowerment. Letting employees decided when, where, and what they should do might help to motivate them to actually get things done. Proper training will also help to get an employee to do what they are suppose to. I bet, sometimes, employees are ineffective at work because they don't know exactly what they are suppose to be doing. It
4. How do you know when its time for you to go.
Being stuck in a rut at work can be hard on you and your fellow employees. You need to look out for your best interests. Your job consumes too many hours of too many days of your life for you to stay where you are miserable. No excuses, now. If these issues exist with your job, make a plan, and change jobs.
5. Personal courage and conflict resolution at work.
There is no way you, as an employee, will be able to get anything achieved at work if you do not have personal courage. Courage is necessary for implementing new ideas, resolving conflicts, changing policies and practices, and so much more. It is especially necessary if you are going to to stick up for yourself and your ideas. Practicing personal courage is necessary if you want to really resolve conflicts at work. It is much easier and much safer to ignore the necessary conflict and play ostrich. Conflict resolution:
- Causes people to listen to and consider different ideas.
- Enables people to increase their alternatives and potential paths.
- Results in increased participation and more ownership of and commitment to the decisions and goals of the group or person.
It is important to make goals and to have dreams about where you want to go with your specific career. Make sure when you realize what you want, you create action steps to follow. Creating a plan will help you to achieve the things you want and make your goal seem more realistic. Making goals at work will help you achieve the dreams you have and will help you become more motivated.
7. Dealing with difficult people at work.
Difficult people come in every variety and no workplace is without them. How difficult a person is for you to deal with depends on your self-esteem, your self-confidence and your professional courage. Make sure that you deal with people in the right way. Have an effective conflict resolution and make sure if problems arise you take them up with human resources.
8. Dealing with bad boss or bad manners.
It can become hard to go to work when you have a difficult boss. It might cause you to hate your place of work. Dealing with less than effective managers, or just plain bad managers and bad bosses, is a challenge too many employees face. It is important to deal with your intolerable boss the right way. Don't get yourself into trouble by fighting, gossiping, or ignoring. Take up problems you have with your human resource and they might help you come up with an effective solution.
9. Team building.
Our book defines teamwork as the assignment of work to groups of employees with various skills who interact to assemble a product or provide a service. Team building is important in the workplace for various reasons. Not only is helpful for getting bigger projects done faster but it helps employees learn more about fellow co-workers. It also helps employees to better understand themselves as to whether they are more of a leader or follower. It helps them to know what they need to work on as a group member.
