See also policies on maternity leave, paternity leave, adoption leave, career break and special leave. Notification of intention to leave or resign If you wish to leave the OFT, whether permanently or otherwise, you must provide written notice to your staff manager. This is not intended to replace any initial verbal notification, but it is required to confirm the decision. If you are resigning from your employment you must give at least the amount of contractual notice required by your contract of employment (one month for staff up to and including SEO, three months for staff at Grade 7 and above). There is, of course, no obligation for you to state the reasons for your resignation, although it may be in your own interests, and those of the OFT, for you to do to so. Your staff manager must forward a copy of the letter of resignation to the HR support centre, together with the completed leaver notification form, to ensure commencement of leaver processes. In the event that a shorter notice period is agreed your staff manager must inform the HR support centre by telephone with subsequent written confirmation within 2 working days.

...areas which are in the centre of the map. The HR Profession Map also includes bandings. Each area is set out in four bands, which enables you to check your level of professional competence in your current role. The HR Profession Map helps determine the required strategies, behaviours and planning needed to have a successful career in HR. “The concept is simple. Covering ten professional areas and eight behaviours set out in four bands of competence, CIPD’s HR Profession Map sets out the activities, knowledge and behaviour needed for success.” (Charity-Works 2015) The eight Professional Areas on the map detect the specific activities and knowledge you need based on your competency in HR which would allow you to have an idea of the banding you currently come under on the HR Profession Map. Throughout your HR Career you are bound to face transitional changes in your competence which in effect will change your banding on the HR Profession Map. “The 10 Professional areas describe what you need to do (activities) and what you need to know (knowledge) for each area of the HR profession at four bands of professional competence.” (CIPD, 2015) In the centre of the HR Map you have the two core professionals which include insights, Strategy and Solutions and Leading HR. Most HR Professionals works deeply into developing their staff, leading your team and looking at potential strategies which may benefit the business. “The successful HR professional provides active, insight-led leadership:...

...The manager that I interviewed works for a company that specializes in the sales of orthodontic equipment to dental companies across the nation. They target all dental distribution companies as well as privately owned dental businesses. They do not make the product themselves but they are a direct purchaser of these orthodontic products and they then turn around and sell their inventory to larger distributors. The reason I choose this business is that I figured it would be interesting to understand the views of a human resource manager of a company that is so spread out similar to me. There is so much more run around than with a normal company that has all its employees at one site everyday. The majority of the communication is done through personal meetings and teleconferencing. The manager that I interviewed is Markeia Keese. She is in his early thirties and has worked at this company for about 5 years. I contacted Markeia by phone and asked if I could set up an interview for a class project, she was very accommodating, but there was some difficulty due to schedule conflicts for the both of us. I immediately got a sense that she really felt it was appropriate to treat people right, which is a key factor in managing in HR. Most HR managers I’ve encountered enjoy working with people and therefore the people who become HR managers tend to be more people friendly. I asked Markeia a series of questions that I had prepared for the interview. As the interview started...

...An important aspect of any organization and its managers is how they recruit and select employees; and give fair and unbiased appraisal. In this paper, we will discuss the processes by which my current employer, in government contracting industry, hires new employees, promotes internal employees, and basis on which the managers provide appraisal to the employees. The organization hires people who have expertise and experience in IT field, technical writing, business development, government contracting, and accounting. Organizations must devote time to review the processes and update them as needed from time to time. Selection of employees for wrong jobs is very costly on basis of time, money and resources (Bohlander & Snell, 2010). We will look into how my employer applies “person-job fit”, “criterion-related validity”, tests taken by different people and its evaluation, application process and the use of background check (Bohlander & Snell, 2010). Next, we will talk about appraisal process using self-evaluation, manager evaluation, clear goals set by managers, how it helps an employee grow in their career, how the appraisal helps HR make administrative decisions, types of appraisal, and provide effective criticism and how they can improve their work (Bohlander & Snell, 2010). We will also look into processes which work for HR and which need to be improved. In conclusion, I will make recommendations where the HR can improve and what steps they need to take to make...

The request for service involves changing the HR department for the better. Riordan wants to integrate and change the HR applications with a new state-of-the-art information system. The company wants to have the HR department to have the ability to assesses resources and tools all in one application. Who are stakeholders?

Stakeholders may include both technical and non-technical workers. They also may be the internal ones or may be the external one.”( The Players of an Information System, 2013) In our project with Riordan, the stakeholders are can be the HR department managers, the owner of the company, Or even the top investors of the company its self.

...analyzing the raw material from Mrs. Thoa, the results were produced. The selection process follows 3 steps with valid and reliable methods and a set of criteria: application form, interview and performance-simulation test. The strengths of those selection devices are enormous since it helps with filtering suitable candidates who meet certain key criteria with right attitude from the application form. The interview is the phase where the company can assess and gain a deeper understanding about the candidates and the final step which is performance-simulation can actually assist managers in predicting and evaluating candidates’ future performance. However; there are some weaknesses concerning cost and time that were identified while the raw information is analyzed. Before each hiring period, the hotel has to prepare everything carefully in advance, from scheduling, setup to training and report and the period of 2 months trial simulation would be too long and wasted on disqualified candidates. Therefore, the weaknesses need minimizing to enhance the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the whole process. It is recommended that the Hotel should focus a lot in training staffs with related skills and applying internet and technology such as release online version of application forms, develop software and interview using video for the interest of time and finance.

...Northern California Sign up for our monthly E-Newsletter Home Local Markets Management Topics Industry Topics Insights Multimedia Events Marketing Programs About Us How an executive coach can help improve employee morale and productivity 03.01.2012 | Northern California Ricci M. Victorio, CSP, Managing Partner, Mosaic Family Business Center As companies continue to try to do more with less, the stress of doing the work of two or more people is taking a toll on employees. And that is making them less productive, less motivated and less likely to do their best work, says Ricci Victorio, CSP, managing partner at Mosaic Family Business Center. “As companies deal with lower budgets and tighten their belts, they are putting ever-greater demands on their employees,” says Victorio. “As an employer, you need to help your employees fill their cups back up, because they are being significantly drained. Whenever you have people being pushed at absolute top levels performing on all 100 cylinders all of the time, they run out of gas. And when they run out of emotional gas, negative behaviors start springing up.” Smart Business spoke with Victorio about how one-on-one coaching with employees can improve morale and help them work better together as a team. What is the value of executive coaching? It can improve morale and provide an internal vision for employees as they ask: What is my value? Why am I here? What am I doing? How can I do it better? Improved morale increases...

...having an Interview with the HR department our findings have led to believe that we need to lower employee turnover rate by two ways, firstly the interview process must be changed to be less tedious, secondly we to need to fix the job description. Also we need to hire more people specifically for the HR department because the ratio between HR and employee is off, the HR department is quite significant in a business and needs to be treated with more relevance. Marketing businesses solely run on profits if we can overcome these problems our profits will increase which will allow us to expand at an even faster rate. Findings: In my interview with the Hawk marketing HR department, I found that we are a small organization that have 27 employees from which three people are dealing with HR recruitment and selection process in comparison to our competitor, who have double the number of employees. The three people include the project manager’s Jason McClelland and Reshma Kermally as well as the HR recruitment specialist Jennifer Moran. As a new company we have had the same HR strategy in regards to training, development and recruitment, operate on an extremely small budget. Hawk Marketing offers entry level positions in direct marketing the interview process is quite the intensive one. For starters there are four parts to the interview, first there is the preliminary interview, and this is simply when Jen gives the applicant a call to book an initial interview. At this...

...Interaction with Managers and Users Before beginning a preliminary investigation, a memo or an e-mail message would be sent out to managers and employees to know about the investigation and explain my role as a systems analyst. I would meet with key managers, users, and IT staff to describe the project, explain my responsibilities, answer questions, and invite comments. This starts an important dialog with users that will continue throughout the entire development process. When interacting with users, I would highlight the point that this investigation is not about a problem that Riordan Manufacturing has, but rather the additional capability that the company would like to have. This would help employees to not focus on desirable new features and enhancements rather than on current system limitations. Instead of focusing on difficulties, I would question users about additional capability they would like to have. Using this approach, I hope to highlight ways to improve the user’s job, get a better understanding of operations, and build better, more positive relationships with users. INFORMATION-GATHERING TECHNIQUES A. Analyze Organization charts. This would give me a fair understanding of how the department functions and identify individuals I might want to interview, keeping in mind that organization charts show formal reporting relationships but not the informal alignment of a group, which also is important. B. Conduct Interviews The primary method of obtaining information...

...1 HR discretion: understanding line managers’ role in Human Resource Management Juan López-Cotarelo, Industrial Relations Research Unit, Warwick Business School Introduction Line managers play a central role in human resource management. In many organisations, they are charged with myriad HR-related tasks, such as filling out performance appraisal forms, interviewing candidates for employment, making salary increase recommendations and breaking employment-related news –good and bad- to employees. This paper investigates how managers carry out their HR activities. In the literature so far, the prevailing view has been that managers act primarily on behalf of the organisation, applying HR policy in ways by-and-large consistent with organisational procedures. My findings from a number of store visits at a leading UK fashion retailer, give support to a different view: that managers carry out HR activities as organisational actors who pursue a combination of organisational, departmental and individual goals. Crucial in my discussion is the concept of HR discretion. I define HR discretion as a manager’s capacity to influence his (her) team members’ HR outcomes, and their perceptions of those HR outcomes. HR discretion must be understood as a subset of overall managerial discretion 1 . Managerial discretion has been an important concept in the economics and management literatures, from very different perspectives. In economics, managerial discretion refers to the freedom managers have...
