Business is about People, Process, & Situations.

 

Since People create the Process and the vast majority of the Situations…

 

…business is about People.

 

That sounds too basic to be of much value.

 

That last point would be true if the People aspects of business received due consideration all, or at least most, of the time.

 

That is not the case.

 

Frequently, people feel they are caught up in the hectic pace of business. They feel so caught up they forget to give enough consideration to the People aspects of business. Many businesses, particularly smaller businesses, have no Human Resource Dept. Considering the large number of smaller businesses; the majority of businesses have no skilled Human Resource personnel.

 

So - many businesses handle their Human Resource issues in an unplanned, reactive way.

 

Simple Human Resource steps can be taken to cover the People aspects of your business.

 

Those steps should be taken at the strategic level:

• Vision
• Mission
• Values/Culture
• Communication
• Overall Goals
• Etc.

Those steps should also be taken at the operational/tactical level:

• Dept. Goals
• Individual Goals
• Role Descriptions
• Performance Reviews
• Etc.

Those steps should also be taken at the business-function level:

• Marketing
• Sales
• Purchasing
• Etc.
