Possible Areas of Conflict Between the Human Resources Functions
A business can get a lot of conflict between the human resource
functions, which are human resource planning, recruitment and
selection, training and development and performance management.
Safeway need to avoid as much conflict as possible, however this is
not always easy, because they need to think of other functions for
example; the recruitment and selection programme may be recruiting
people that don't have the relevant skills. The training and
developing team will not be happy in the way that they have recruited
and selected these people because they will have to train them of
things they should already know which is frustrating.
If this occurred in Safeway this will be very time consuming and lead
to many problems. Problems will occur because they have all of these
new staff waiting to be trained but they don't know what to do. So the
staff will have to be shown how to do a specific job by existing
workers, because Safeway do on the job training. While this is
happening the shop floor will have fewer workers. And it will
gradually get untidy also shelves will slowly get empty which will not
impress customers. So for this conflict to be avoided they would have
to look carefully and have to assess the recruiting and selection
programme more thoroughly and the same would have to be done with
training and developing. If this is done they should be able to
communicate with each other and recruit the
most suitable people. This conflict would generate two major problems
which were time consuming and costly.
Another conflict may be between performance management and training
and developing. This is because the employees are getting trained but
they may not be using this training to benefit their performance, so
the performance management team may feel that the employee has not
been trained in those specific areas when he/she has. So they may
think that training is not given effectively. So the employees that
did not follow training have generated this conflict.
Last, The Magic of Chaos, that’s every as nurse. Around five am my phone rings, Good morning Ms. Bushnell, “I can’t work today”. That’s usually how my day begins eighty percent of the time. Those phone calls would not have been so bad, if I was working with a full deck of cards. My organization is not the only one with this dilemma of being short staffed, this has become the normal for healthcare. For nurses, this can have profound impact on day-to-day work causing burn out. As a leader, I had to accept the reality that being short staffed was not going to change and adapt accordingly. When leaders are innovative, empower others and promote shared decision, individuals are more likely to embrace the change. Keeping a positive attitude, recognizing others for their hard work and letting them know their valued can increase staff performance. The first thing that came to mind for me in this situation was how we can work smarter and not harder. With staff involvement, we re-evaluated our work flow and redefined some of the roles of nurses in our department for better utilization of time and nursing skills. The change was embraced and staff engagement in the new work flows have been
