This information is pretty accurate in my opinion. Competitive salaries and benefits serve to attract the best workers available. The lower quality the HR provides to its people, the lower quality the workers will be. Without constructive criticism people will believe their current standard of work is acceptable and will not know to improve. Letting them know in a constructive way will allow them to reset the bar and performance. The same goes for praise. If you forget to recognize someone's hard work, they will begin to lower their standards of work from lack of motivation. Other companies can do this better and could ultimately tale your employees. Lastly, an employee handbook will clearly state what is and is not acceptable in almost any case.

Employees always have questions and having a handbook to turn to is very helpful. Also, people like to be rewarded so showing appreciation for good work keeps good work production.

If you are working somewhere that has no handbook. You probably should not be working there. Or north KOrea for that matter. Because apparently worker motivation is at an all time low in this country.

I definitely agree with the video and found it to be very helpful. Companies pay the least attention to their employees seem to suffer the most. It is very important for HR to have the necessary tools for employees to do their jobs effectively. I ran into a lot of problems with my current job because there was no employee policies. Lastly, I just think employees is the most underrated resource by most employers and are taken for granted.

Ignoring your competition I think is the most important on this list. In order for your company to be on top and operate at its full potential you have to know what your competition is doing. If you are ignoring what your competitors are doing then you aren't listening to what your customers want and that will hurt your company in the long run. I didn' really understand why an employee handbook made this list. I personally have never even read my employee handbook and I don't feel lost in what my job is. I don't think that it is a necessary tool for every company.

Companies should always be aware of what their competition offers in order to stay competitive in the job market. This will allow them to better maintain their human capital and save the business money. The failure to issue out an employee handbook allows employees to set the standard and accountability falls short from the organization's mission and values.

TITLE - Top Three HR Mistakes Companies Make
Ignoring the competition can be a costly mistake because your employees can always find another job that they will be treated better or get more benefits. Know what your competitors are doing and try to be pretty even with them in order to keep your talented employees. Be sure to interact with your employees. You should praise them or correct them when necessary. Workers who feel important and included will be more motivated to get their work done. Be sure to have a handbook so your workers are aware of your missions, goals and vision behind the company/business. Knowing these things lets them know what their efforts are working towards. It is important to be aware of these three things when working in HR.

Keeping employees satisfied will make them put out exceptional work and this results in a positive and wealthy company. It is always important to give employees constructional criticism this will alow them to correct things right away or be told what they are doing thats exceptional. I as a teacher/ manager at my job this is most important to keep people with high self confidence.

I left a job because I offered a better compensation package from another organization. Granted the work was different but the retention in that organization was poor because of the less than mediocre pay. I would have stayed for a raise in salary. I also strive on constructive criticism. We all need recognition in our roles. And as for handbooks, so important. I read every handbook I've ever been offered because it is vital to get as much knowledge about the organization and that is the perfect place for it.

Human resources is a huge part of a company and often, many companies do not realize how important and vital HR is to a company. I cannot believe that some companies do not have an employee handbook. In the business world, the saying is often "by the book" but if there is not a book then what are employees suppose to go by. An employee handbook can be used to describe the company's mission and policies. Each employee should be given one so that they can keep it at their desk. While they may never read it, some employees may get curious, or bored, and want to learn more about the company they are working for.

I think that companies that don't have an orientation process are making a big hr mistake. employees like to know what they are going to be doing if they are hired by your company. They do not like to be thrown into a situation and have to decide what to do for themselves.

I guess these are some reasons a few folks would leave their jobs. Competitive benefits, recognition, and not having an employee handbook. For me, it would have to be competitive benefits. I would hate to work my behind off at my job and hear a friend who does next to nothing, get way more benefits from their job versus my job.

This video talks about the top three mistakes HR can make. Her first point is that HR should not ignore competitive salaries and benefits given by other companies. Her third point is to avoid criticism and focus on praise. Employees want to work somewhere they feel appreciated. Finally, business absolutely need to have a handbook in order to guide all employees on their set of standards for the company, keeping everyone on the same page.

Ignoring competition, withholding criticism or praise, no employee handbook are the top three HR mistakes a company can make. I think this is great advice and very true. Offering competitive salaries and benefits, doing employee appraisals and creating and updating the employee handbook are ways to combat these mistakes.
