OnCallPSN Principal Advisor, Tom Theard, says, “Effective Human Resources helps a company be more profitable by establishing an environment where employees are productive and efficient. Assisting organizations to establish a strategy that includes a mission statement and goals that can be communicated to employees increases employees motivation to focus on the right things.”
He also notes that businesses can responsibly save money by identifying and selecting cost effective employee benefit plans. Tom also stresses the importance of employee training. Change is affecting the work place and worker performance.
The formula for the rate of change is:
Rate of Change = Information x Technology x People
All are increasing at dramatic rates. For organizations and employees to be successful, continued training and development is critical for enhancing skills and developing new skills.
