Recommendations-


Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?...

-Steve Jobs, inviting John Scully from PepsiCo® to Apple® , in 1987 H DR

•If a union issue arises, Union’s representative should be invited to the top management and board of directors, rather than letting Liaison Engineer and contractor handle everything...

•Team building and socializing activities should be highly encouraged...

•Work urgency should not be imposed, rather communicated. Let employees do the job however them may wish to, as long as it is completed in desired time…

•Encourage competition whilst maintaining the cooperation (highly recommended)…

•Training courses should be pre-determined by the HR department and must be job specific…

•First Aid training should be given to all during the induction process of a new recruit...

•Managerial recruits must be sent on various knowledge base and team building seminars...

•A legal consultant company must be agreed upon to provide advice, consultation and representation in court, ever required. All legal matters should then be discussed with HR Department and the Board for future actions…

Conclusion-

HR Audit plays a pivotal role for identifying and rectifying the potential issues regarding people serving the company...

All the skill shortages and issues regarding the project completion are due to the fact of rare cooperation and team-building training in the company...

Once the proper actions on recommendations are taken, then it will not only boost the workforce but the overall corporate culture, as well…

Corporate culture is visible through the company logo or slogan... In Lagan’s case it is: ‘People Delivering Expertise’


Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end…

-Immanuel Kant H DR


THANK YOU


Whenever God makes a man responsible for other people, whether in greater or lesser numbers, he will be questioned as to whether he ruled his charges in accordance with God’s decrees or not. And that will not be all. God will question him even about his family members…
