|Employers Hunger for Attitude, Efficiency, Punctuality
Quick quiz. Have you complained about ANYTHING regarding your job today? Wasted time surfing the net or writing personal e-mails? Or came in a few minutes late, still recuperating from your Labor Day festivities?
Chances are, you've done at least one of these things at least once within the last two working days. And you probably thought the activities went unnoticed by management.
Think again.
HR professionals polled recently said that employees complain, waste too much time, and abuse attendance policies too often.
OI Partners-The McGuire Group, a locally based global talent management and leadership solutions firm, talked to nearly 300 HR professionals attending the Annual Society for Human Resource Management Conference and Exposition on June 25-27, in Washington, D.C., to identify the greatest issues they are facing over the next 12 months.
Survey respondents said they wish employees in their company would stop doing the following: 1) Complaining/having a poor attitude (19.5 percent of respondents); 2) Wasting time (10 percent); 3) Abusing attendance policy (9 percent); 4) Looking for other jobs/leaving (8 percent); 5) Being complacent or having no enthusiasm for the job (6 percent)
Other responses included: 1) Blaming others/having no accountability; 2) Gossiping; 3) Having a sense of entitlement; 4) Lying; 5) Abusing e-mail.
Along with the above daily issues, HR professionals said they are challenged with keeping good employees and finding talent to replace those who retire or leave their organization.
"As many baby boomers prepare for retirement, retention and succession planning has become a critical issue for thousands of organizations," said Steve Harvey, managing partner.
Survey participants said the following issues most concern them and their business for the coming year (in order of importance): 1) Retaining top employees; 2) Developing leaders and succession planning; 3) Finding workers with the best skills; 4) Containing benefits costs; 5) Getting the most from human capital; 6) HR playing a key role in developing business strategy; 7) Handling generational differences in the workplace; 8) Managing the virtual work force; 9) Outsourcing key business functions; 10) Dealing with outplacement.
In 2005, respondents also said retention and succession planning were most important to them.
