Personnel policies

Well-constructed personnel policies are essential for the well-being and long-term survival of the firm. Conflicts between management and labour can be minimised through:

- giving workers security of employment;

- offering promotion to suitably qualified staff;

- consultation and negotiation with employees' representatives on all issues affecting terms and conditions of employment and working environments;

- avoidance of discrimination in recruitment and/ or promotion on the grounds of sex, ethnic origin, religion, marital status, age or physical disability;

- providing opportunities for retraining and the acquisition of new skills;

- establishing codes of practice for dealing with redundancies and dismissals, and grievance procedures for complaints against management by staff.

Personnel management is difficult because human relations problems are complex and difficult to solve, and there are many constraints that restrict the personnel manager's capacity to improve conditions at work. For instance, physical working conditions in some jobs (routine assembly-line work, for example) are unavoidably unpleasant, causing boredom and ill temper; or current economic conditions may be so poor that the firm is unable to pay workers the wage increases they feel they deserve.
