Employee Health And Safety: A Global Perspective

Module 4 Communication
Module 4 Overview
MEMORANDUM

BANKS Industries

TO: BANKS Senior Management

FROM: HR Department

SUBJECT: Employee Selection and Training

Staffing practices consist of two general issues—first, identifying and hiring the right people for the job, and second, retaining those individuals and building their competencies as productive employees. These are both areas where management and human resources (HR) need to work together.

The bottom line is that when we are recruiting, screening, and selecting new employees, we should be careful that we are always focused on the primary duties of the job and finding the candidate that will best perform them.

Once we hire the right person, training and development are essential activities. Keep in mind that training may not always be directly job or skill related. The training component is part of retaining quality employees and providing them with growth opportunities. Therefore, management should be encouraged to work with HR in order to identify needs and strategically plan training sessions.

Analyze inter- and intracultural differences in work relationships, values, and behaviors to maximize individual and organizational performance.
Evaluate the sources of workplace conflict and determine appropriate techniques to resolve them that respect human differences.
Create work redesign approaches to improve performance under differing assumptions of employee skill and education level, compensation and reward systems, and cultural expectations.
Communicate the ethical implications of recommendations to change human resource and/or work flow systems given the presence of multiple cultural subgroups
