Employee Morale Eroding Like the Grand Canyon

ReviewSNAP

OCTOBER 13, 2011

Much like some soil erodes over time, the morale of some employees erodes over time. Chipping away at an employee''s morale can happen in a lot of ways. Each of your employees will respond to situations and communication differently. We all recognize that some are fairly thick skinned while others have thin skin. Some would say that the manager has to learn how each person can be handled.

Dear Evil HR Lady, While I felt like I was extremely prepared to go up to bat for the salary negotiation (even if it could be just for an extra dollar or two per hour), I was taken off guard a little bit when the HR Business Partner immediately went into how my salary would be paid some percentile or another (I don't remember what percentile it was exactly-I want to say that it was in the 90th percentile). She didn't even miss a beat to get that in there. At the time, I didn't even really know what that meant that their offering was in such and such percentile.

When I was in junior high, there were these things called "slam books." These were notebooks that were passed around anonymously with a different person's name on each page. On each page, you could write -- good or bad -- what you thought of that person and remain anonymous. To this day, I can remember one especially hurtful comment written on my page. Your reputation can be trashed online.

I mentioned in my opening to my session on HR 2.0 that I thought there had been a bit too much agreement on things during the conference (particularly in Jason Averbook’s and Naomi Bloom’s love-in), and said that I’d try to be clear about what I did, and didn’t agree with (since doing this would help people decide whether to support my model of HR 2.0). the new social media word) with.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I have been chronically underpaid by my company and obviously the way I am going about remedying this has not worked. I am hoping you can provide some pointers. For salary increase guidelines my company has a policy where the industry range for each given position level plotted on a bell curve is used as the basis. The company professes to pay between the 25th and the 75th percentile range on the bell curve. My performance reviews say I do a good job and am performing at or higher than expected level for my position. He got fired last year!

Dave Ryan and I were talking about possible next Project Social topics and I ambitiously suggested, ‘ HR’s role in defining a high-performing organization.’ Dave’s response: ‘Hmmmmmn… yeah, that’s one topic.’ (We’ll just call that one Plan B.) So we pared it down to one aspect of high performing organizations, something that all HPOs have: good workforce intelligence, not to be confused with an intelligent workforce. It sometimes amazes me how little workforce information you can get out of most HR systems. Can you? What are the most critical skills by job in our organization? Period. stuff.

Can you hear the collective groan when you launch that new compliance course? Do you get complaints both public and private from trainees about the uselessness of the training courses you've launched? Is there anything that can be done about it?
