Course Content Level 4
Managing people in organisations
In order for an organization to accomplish its goals, effective personnel management is crucial. Individuals are the organization’s most valuable resource, hence it is crucial to recognize and value their needs.
Culture and the organisation
Culture: What is it? What connotes culture in your mind? Culture is a collection of several elements such as music and art, values and beliefs, language and communication, behavior, and so on. “A learned, shared, interrelated set of symbols which unite and identify members of a society” is how Terpstra and David (1991) define culture.
Developing personal skills
A manager in a contemporary organization must possess a broad set of abilities. The manager must have interpersonal skills. This could require a very broad range of abilities, including listening, teamwork encouragement, leadership, and communication.
Effective communication
A manager’s daily activities may include motivating staff, informing them of changes to their work schedule or working conditions, attending formal meetings, striking up a casual conversation at the water cooler or coffee shop, reviewing a senior management strategy, sending emails to suppliers or customers, and using the Internet.
Managing ethically
Unfortunately, determining what constitutes “the right action” is not always simple. Consider the corporation that generates an excessive amount of garbage in its plant, for instance. Closing the facility will hurt the local community’s financial resources as well as the workers and shareholders. Its continued operation without waste reduction will harm the ecosystem for both present and future generations.
Performance management
The success or failure of an organization is determined by its members. Take a time to consider any organization; in doing so, you will undoubtedly consider people. Every organization has individuals, and those individuals play a major role in the organization’s success.
Strategic human resource management
The management of people, a vital resource in any organization, is known as human resource management. An organization’s potential is limited in the absence of personnel. Even if the machines are automatic, someone still needs to program them in order for them to function. Without workers, the machines cannot function. People are needed to transform the raw materials into something that can be marketed. People are required to operate the computers.
High performance teams
High performance in an organization necessitates a combination of varied experiences and talents in a world of change, uncertainty, and complexity. Organizations understand that working as a team is the best way to accomplish this combination.
Leadership skills
Success in any organization, whether commercial or public, depends on having strong leadership. Rapid changes in the competitive landscape, technological advancements, and the state of the economy have made it clear that developing one’s leadership abilities is necessary in the modern world.
Motivating and influencing people
Imagine two teams engaged in the same task. Their management can inquire as to how a certain set of chores will be finished in order to produce a good or service. The manager can organize the work, ensure that the teams have all the supplies they need, assign assignments and deadlines to everyone, and track progress after work has begun. But it’s quite unlikely that the two teams will operate at the same pace, produce work of the same caliber, or approach their jobs with the same mindset.
