The
Relationship between HR and Technology
July
2011 | I think that technology has had a dual impact on
HR. First is complication. In many ways, technology complicates
HR. There are the actual technological concerns that HR
professionals all have to face now (such as privacy --
keeping employee records safe, or compliance -- ensuring
that employees are not putting the company or other employees
at risk using technological capabilities). In short, I
think that on some levels, technology complicates the
affairs of HR, and some companies are still sorting those
complications out |

Retrenchment
Apr
2011 | Retrenchment
is yet another guise of termination of employment. Just
like the other types of termination, an employer who retrenches
his staff will be required to show that the retrenchment
was with just cause or excuse if the employee files a
representation under section 20 of the Industrial Relations
Act 1967. |

Poor Performance
Jan
2011 | After
misconduct, the second most common reason for terminating
the services of an employee is an employee’s perceived
poor performance. For misconduct, the law’s focal
point is: “Did he do it?” If he did, he may
justifiably be dismissed. |

Terminating Employees
Jul

| It
is a common perception that the laws on firing in Malaysia
are very pro-employee and that it is almost impossible
to terminate the services of employees. Personally,
my opinion is that this is not entirely true.

| Gina,
38, is a Senior Human Resource Manager at a large medical
device manufacturing firm. In the last year, Gina has
had to deal with employee issues on many fronts. Revenue
has dropped, morale has suffered, management has remained
relatively quiet on a number of management and outlook

Bringing
out the best in people
Jul
09 |
An interesting
and noble idea- to think that we can actually bring out
the best in people. We understand and recognise the impact
of our words and actions but perhaps what is not always
clearly understood is the extent of that impact and perhaps
how deeply actions and words can affect us, whether positively
or otherwise.

Getting
People To Do What They Should Do
It’s
a fantasy every manager dreams of, getting
your people to do what they should do. Why do you think
it’s so difficult to achieve this sometimes? We
decided to get an insight into this issue by talking to
Rebekah Fensome, an accredited professional Life Coach
and Coaching Psychologist based in the UK.

How
do you view the notion of talent management ? I
believe that there are six conditions necessary to ensure
that the talent you have stays but further that you have
in place, an effective succession planning initiative.
