When you have to make a decision that will affect either the company or the employees, what should you as an HR manager prioritize?
It’s all about balance! Happy employees usually work better, which is good for the company. So, I think it’s best to make sure both sides are looked after.
I beleive both of them is important beacause maybe one company has a good appearance but dont pay enough attention to its employer and doesnt have stable atmosphere.with this situation after alittle time employer made decision to go. also the employer should has deontology about their duties and do in best form
As an HR manager we are concerned about both Company as well as Employee. but if talk about the more it is much understood that we can hire an employee in place of one for a company but can not hire a company for All the employies. So, we have to much concerened about the Scenario arises and take middle path for both because HR policy/procedure should never be rigid and favourism for a single entity. and in Last I say A healthy organisation is always give priorities to its employee (Like a Blood of vain ) and HR Management System is The Hurt of the Organisation (Like Body). So they must have to think equal for Both entities.
There should be a symbiotic relationship between the Company and the Employee. If employees interests are respected and he/she is fairly compensated, this will result in a higher level of performance and productivity which is good for the Company.
What matters most for an HR Manager is to have a common ground for both sides of the interests. Both can never match 100% and thats OK and very normal.
But to minimize the risk of occurrence of an extreme case scenario here, the procedure starts right from the hiring.
You have to find candidates whos interests quite closely match the company's interests. No one should consider themselves a complete misfit in the work culture. And for that, it's very important to be transparent while introducing your company to a candidate so that both parties can figure out any clash of interests and work it out at an early stage.
If the clash of interests occurs during the "Change Process", its good to ensure the change is worth it. and if it is then an HR should follow standard Conflict handling techniques in favor of change implementation.
As an HR Manager, both the company’s interests and employees’ interests are equally important, as they are interdependent. The success of the company relies on a motivated and engaged workforce, while employees thrive in an environment where the organization supports their growth and well-being.
The key is to align business objectives with employee needs by fostering transparent communication, fair policies, and mutual respect. By balancing these interests, HR ensures sustainable growth for the company and a positive, productive environment for employees.
