TITLE - Top Three HR Mistakes Companies Make
This was a helpful clip and the statistics are surprising. The top 3 HR mistakes companies make include ignoring competition, withholding criticism and not having an employee handbook. Managers and business owners should constantly be aware of their surroundings, including competition. Being aware of what your competition is doing can help you to keep up with them or even surpass them. Managers should not only reward or praise their employees for good performance but also criticize them in a constructive way so they know that they need to improve their performance. The most important part of a company is the employee handbook. This not only clarifies the company culture and mission but should spell out what is expected of employees and the do's and dont's of the organization.

Top Three HR Mistakes Companies Make
Know when you have good employees and value them. Let them know that they are valued. Reward them when they do good work and correct them when they do something incorrectly. This is the only way a company will retain their employees. When you treat your employees right, they are loyal to you. HR has a very important job. They should make sure the employee are receiving the rewards they deserve. In auditing our employee turnover is huge. Auditors move around in hopes to find a job that will take better care of them.

Top Three HR Mistakes Companies Make
Do not ignore the competition, make sure you pay enough your employees so they do not leave for the competition that is paying more. Feedback is very important, people want to be recognized and your employees need that recognition. If employees are ignored, they will not provide an input to the company. They will not feel motivated or encouraged. The hand book is also a good point, this is true most companies do not have an employee handbook, but I think every company should have it. They need to make clear every rules and what is expected from employees so later there are no surprises.

Everybody likes a little pat on back, some people need continuous support and positive feed back to proceed. People like to know what they are performing and even if they know they are doing well a little "good job" or "way to go" can go a long way on the mental aspect of your employee nobody wants to work hard and not be acknowledged or rewarded for their good deeds.

I agree with this video. The main point I agree with is the first one. Companies and HR don't always pay attention to their competition. They don't even realize that even though they aren't paying attention to their competition, their competition is paying a lot of attention to them. Competition at any time can figure out their head honcho or the guy who is a big asset in their company and offer a higher salary to that guy. Especially with newly hired employees who have no trust in a certain company will easily move to another company for a higher salary and more benefits without even feeling guilty about it. This could've eventually been your next big asset to your decision making on your company and you just lost it by slacking and not coughing up a little more money.

I do think these are major mistakes that need to be addressed within companies. I was once offered a salary that was extremely low and not worth my value, so I did not accept the offer. Also, if employees are doing well, they deserve the recognition or a least an update that you are doing well. Employees want to feel appreciated so this is needed. If an employee is not performing well enough, they also need to be informed. Lastly, the video mentions that companies should have an employee handbook. This will allow new employees to have a reference they can refer to for basic rules and regulations.

We were informed of three things HR would mistakenly do throughout this video which was 1. Not have a handbook 2.Withold criticism or praise 3. Ignore the competition.I agree with this video because not having a handbook is just asking for bad things to take place in the company, too many inappropriate or legal things could happen. Withholding information, good or bad, big or small, can harm a person's outlook on the job that was given to them. If a manager says get this done and the employee would like to know in what way to get it done and wasn't given information then it could lead to him or her doing it wrong and be scolded for it. Every business needs to know what their competitors are doing. The term keep your friends close and your enemies closer really starts to take affect well. In order for a business to be successful it needs to know what competitors are doing to get an edge. If wages and benefits take workers away from my business then it may be a good idea to look into how everyone else does it so that there is no edge.

This video has many good points. I believe that if companies offered better salary packages, that it could make a huge difference in how long the employees decide to stay with the company in the long run. If you were to make it known that you value your employees then they are more likely to give you 100 percent when working.

The types of mistakes aren't only made by HR of companies; they are also made by organizations as well. For example, student organizations can forget to include and welcome their new members. They also can neglect to inform them of the rules a procedures, which will ultimately leave their members confused and misguided. Last but not least, they can not assign their members specific tasks or they don't assign them enough task. Feeling unfulfilled this can cause the organization to lose a member to competition.

There are 3 main Mistakes that HR companies make. The first one is ignoring the competition. The second is withholding criticism or praise. Constructive criticism is the only way some people will know when they need to improve and praise gives the same people a sense of self worth. Last, and the most important mistake is not having an employee handbook. This is important to show the expected behavior of employees.

I would share this video with friends and colleagues. Thank you professor. I think that every business needs to look out for the best interest their employees. A business needs to be aware of their competition and compensation. If you are not keeping up with the leaders in the industry for compensation employees will leave if they can get paid more somewhere else. I also feel that employees are always wanting to be a part of something. WHen employees feel their voice is not heard or taken into consideration then they get disgusted at their jobs. Taking care of your employees is crucial in these changing times.

I liked all three points brought up in this video. I feel that many workers in America are grossly underpaid, so failing to give your employees (especially your top employees) a competitive salary will probably result in the loss of some key workers.
It's also very important to keep communication lines open. Whether it be criticism or praise, feedback should always be given to employees on their work on a regular basis.
Lastly, and possibly most importantly, companies should always have an employee handbook. It seems like such a simple and obvious thing, but having all rules, regulations, and expectations written clearly in writing will ensure that fewer problems and misunderstandings will occur.

I like the message of this video, but the overload of statistical data seems far-fetched and unrealistic. I agree with the points but I did not like the delivery, it bored me.

Losing jobs from ignoring the competition is a huge deal because replacing employees is costly. The search for human capital costs time and money, whereas keeping or retaining workers represent ongoing productivity or status quo. Additional concerns outside of time and money, such as workplace environment and culture can be affected by new hires. If new employees do not like previous employees or vice versa then productivity, morale, and worker satisfaction could decrease leading to further retainage problems. A good way to combat employees quitting would be by knowing your competition and offering similar offerings, such as competitive salaries and benefits. Non-monetary preventions could include praise and clear definitions of job expectations. As a company it is important to advertise why employees should want to work for you. Job advertisement is of equal importance to customer and product advertisement.

I wouldnt have guesed that HR owould ignore the competition. It seems like the best way to improve by learning from the mistakes of others or from their triumphs. Im also shocked that not having a handbook is an issue. I guess its because im constantly makimg copies of handbooks for new hires at my job.
