Human resources working in a crisis times

   Por Raúl Gorrín.-   The world has faced a severe global crisis for several years, which represents a challenge for all the activities for us, the human being, including business and in this context, in the area of ​​human resources. Human resources departments have to take actions that directly impact the economic performance of their organizations. It is about surviving in difficult times and, in the process, being productive and competitive. Plus, in terms of HR, it is necessary to work on a short-term basis by seeking to contain, flexibilize and reduce personnel costs that tend to have a considerable weight in the company's accounts.

     Moreover, human resources are responsible for actions such as:

1. Eliminate positions in a planned manner through the application of policies for early retirement, the incentive of casualties, temporary suspension of contracts, reduction of recruitment, among others. Now, this should be analyzed very carefully, since every case is very particular. In fact, studies have determined that companies that haven’t resorted to these measures have achieved more profitability and more customer satisfaction. Therefore, study your situation very well to determine whether or not these measures work for you.

2. Labor flexibility, already commented on several occasions. A measure that helps to make contracts and costs more flexible.

3. Implementation of salary policies focused on performance and flexible remuneration. We are talking about remunerations that are directly related to productivity.

4. Increase the control and analysis of human resources information to identify deviations and act promptly.

5. Flexibilize the costs of human resources processes by developing formulas for outsourcing non-strategic HR practices. It is up to you to work with human resources based on the optimization of the personnel you have and to make the most of the talent, especially the highly qualified.
