HR should never say to the CEO of seven words

Seven words of HR managers cannot and CFO or CEO said, unless they are willing to take big risks. The following is the seventh sentence cannot be for business leaders say, and why not say why.

1 "this project is not able to bring considerable return on investment, but I still want to do it. ”

Today is full of uncertain economic environment, the company is very difficult to raise funds. Nobody wants to hear such words: this plan is not able to bring a good return on investment. When a project team will develop the project plan, most concern is always the item in the next two to three years will bring positive results.

Unfortunately, the group often for ROI, as well as it project for HR departments to prioritize the importance of the lack of thorough understanding. In determining which projects should be, and what items should be reconsidered, such as discounted cash flow and revenue streams, and other factors must be taken into account. Once you know the concept, and found a very good return on investment, determine priorities of work becomes smooth and efficient.

So no management training project or process improvement projects, wherever possible, quantified so that leaders see returns.

2 "I have already exceeded budget, fiscal year has just begun. ”

HR budget management is needed to complete the most important is also one of the most urgent task. However, the regular budget is reversed, to be cut, very few of the CFO or the Budget Committee. Because of the inherent information barriers, these reductions may unintentionally affect the project.

In this case, HR must put the budget allocated to these projects. Unfortunately, there is no money. Because the budget formulation process takes several months to complete, is the original budget approved project may subsequently be terminated, even if those projects have already begun – even so, to support these projects should be funded.

To avoid this risk in a way is to start a new project of extension to the second quarter of fiscal year begin. This delay lets the HR departments have time to end the ongoing projects, and gives organizations the opportunity to adapt to new technology. Moreover, this approach ensures that the budget had been finalized, the budget of any changes will not affect the process of the project.

3 "our cost-saving efforts than we imagined so successful. ”

Usually estimated savings is not easy, but even so, their decision was very important, and HR specialists rarely after the necessary training. Furthermore, because some of the commercial sector have neither the time nor the motivation to participate in the HR Department of cost-saving action, often results in additional costs. For these reasons, and reduce expenses of ideal is very easy to become lost.

There is a reliable method of the project, including a structure for savings and for a solution to this problem is very important. Now you should be using a new technology or solution to development to gain cost savings or revenue methods, processes and procedures. Perhaps this kind of motivation to influence business unit and HR departments, and to strengthen the collaboration between the two parts.

4 "we need more staff. ”

Maintain an appropriate number of staff is to meet the needs of the business is a never ending of frustrating cycle. Recommendation is to spend some time in advance to the organizational structure of the company's future needs to make a prediction. Design an organizational system, just let it have the capacity to face adjustment is not required to spend considerable time or cost.

5 "because we don't apply the KPI and BSC, therefore our performance evaluation does not do well."

Too professional version will only confuse the user. Remember, when HR needs not only technical skills, but also need good communication skills.

As a business partner, you must know your technology problems, learn as much as possible about how is the revenue, the organization operates. Read a MBA degree or regularly attend a business meeting can enrich their knowledge.

At the same time, the non-HR managers understand some technical knowledge of HR is also very important, and this enabled them to understand the needs, interest, as well as a specific item of potential problems. You can and managers work together to understand how much they want to know the technical details. Many managers may want more professional and better, while others only select profile type. In doing this kind of decision, you need to adjust your communication style.

6 "those employees do not know how we are trying to help them. ”

HR in adopting new management mode of time often awkward, because he/she must let end users believe that these tools could bring them benefits. Can bring about productivity enhancing technologies might be suspected will let someone throw away work. Furthermore, the rights, reputation and control of interest are likely to affect the demand for new technologies of correct judgement. For these reasons, you may feel frustrated. Even though you pay a lot of efforts, the users for you took a strong gas development tools still be very inconsistent.

To avoid this situation the best way is to spend more time and employees together to explain to them the new method. Many large organizations have formal user Committee or Council to address these issues. In many cases, if the users themselves to lead the Commission, will greatly improve the success rate, because you can hear directly from the user's voice, this allows you to get more meaningful and to be able to help you and the individual user to establish a better partnership.

7 "our files are dark, the disclosure of confidential data to the Internet. ”

Although technology has infiltrated our lives of the

Yes, many organizations still don't realize data, infrastructure, and Internet security, how important for them. Very often, security is considered as an insurance policy, budgets, can be reduced or even ignored. When crises arise, security has become the highest priority task – but harm has resulted. Security policy not only in the HR sector should everyone attention across the Organization should also be the case. The security team, particularly for a large organization, it is very necessary. Backup, disaster recovery and business continuity plans should be periodically to reduce the potential risk. After the response and simply do not know what to do in a disaster in the clear, or prevent the disaster areas are very different.
