Hello All! After reviewing the Best Companies to Work For in 2020, I found four organizations that I was most interested in and I discussed how I think they use HRM. I also wanted to share how I’d like to be as a manager and what the most difficult parts of being a manager may be.
Fortune 100 Companies HR Practices
Capital One, Navy Federal Credit Union, Hilton and Veterans United Home Loans were the four companies I chose to comb through. The consensus among these four companies is each company provides ethical and competent management, has great employee benefits, and the employees feel they are cared about as people, rather than just a number.
The Type Of Manager I Aspire To Be
The type of manager I’d like to be is the manager to build up my employees. Start from the bottom and make sure they know expectations and have access to what they need to excel at those expectations and work up from there ensuring all needs are met. There is a sentence in the book First Break All the Rules: What The World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently by Marcus Buckingham and Curt W. Coffman that really stuck with me. “You are the manager who so loves your work that you get tears in your eyes when asked to describe how you helped so many of your people succeed.”(Buckingham, et.al. 2014). I feel this sentence correctly explains how I wish to lead as a manager.
Difficulties Of Being A Manager
The most difficult aspects of a managers job, I believe, would be to ensure all employees are supported in their own individual ways. As a manager, you cannot just use a blanket statement or practice in hopes to cover all of what your employees need. You need to notice, appreciate and harness your employees individuality and make sure each employee is supported using the 12 questions asked in the book mentioned above, but do so from the bottom up and individually.
