MANPOWER
Manpower is one of the highest costs of operating a business but is also
the most instrumental to its success.

The entrepreneur will need the expertise of qualified employees that can
handle operational functions, so that he or she will be free from daily activities
and can thus focus on the strategic and management functions of the business.

Job Description

Job description enumerates the duties and responsibilities of the potential


employee, including the scope, limitations, and terms and conditions of
employment.

 Job title - the summary of what the employee will do. The
entrepreneur should devise a respectable and decent job title
because the title boosts the self-confidence of the employee.
 Compensation and benefit range - which details the potential
salary and benefits that the employee will get.
 Duties - which clearly describe the job that the employee will
assume with allowance for flexibility.
 Responsibilities and accountabilities - must be communicated
well to the employee so that he or she knows what to expect with
the job.
 Work schedules and work hours – the specific days and
working hours must be written so that the employee will be able to
align the work schedule with his or her personal schedule.

Employee Qualifications

Entrepreneurs will have to look for the following criteria: Educational


Background, Work experience, Specific skill or knowledge, and Work Attitude

 Educational Background – This gives the entrepreneur an idea on


the degree of the candidate’s knowledge of basic things.
 Work experience – This will tell him or her on what to expect from the
applicant and what he or she can potentially contribute to the
business based on his or her past positions and experiences. This will
also establish the training needs of the candidate.
 Specific skill or knowledge – it is important on technical jobs that
require high proficiency. It will be easy for entrepreneurs to place
highly skilled people into specialized jobs because they can help right
away. Examples: engineers, architects, accountants, and information
technology specialists.
 Work Attitude – this deal with the worker’s integrity and how he or
she deals with his or her coworkers, bosses and customers. A good work
attitude involves being punctual, having good leadership and
communication skills, being a team player, making ethical decisions,
obeying superiors, and being passionate and dedicated to the
company.

Preparatory Selection of Job Applicants

Once job description and employee qualifications are finalized by the


entrepreneur, he or she now preselects a set of candidates for the positions
required. When the business is already sizeable, entrepreneurs usually establish a
human resource (HR) department that will handle the selection and recruitment
of candidates.

o Headhunters - help companies find a set of people suited for their


requirements. They usually charge a finder’s fee once the entrepreneur
has decided to accept an applicant.
o Manpower agencies - recruit temporary employees under a short
contract, usually on a six-month period.
o Print - entrepreneur can also opt to advertise job vacancies via print
such as general circulation newspapers or other publications if the
intention is to promptly get a candidate from the public.
o Recommendations and referrals - from friends, relatives, or business
partners with an unattained reputation.
o Business networks - people whom the entrepreneur has worked with in
the past.
o Digital media - with the power of the Internet, an entrepreneur can easily
post job vacancies through his or her Web site, social media accounts, e-
mails, online affiliates, search engines, podcasts, or blogs, or even via
phone.

Selection of Job Applicants

The entrepreneur of the HR department can now conduct a series of


interviews for the shortlisted candidates with the objective of getting the most
qualified candidate for the job.

 screening and picking the most qualified and most suited for the job

Interview Question Examples:

1. What are your strengths that you can contribute to our organization?

2. What are your weaknesses that can prevent you from working effectively in
our organization?

3. What exactly did you do in your previous jobs(s)? How will these past
experiences contribute to our organization?

4. What were your significant milestones in your previous job(s), and why do you
consider them as such?

5. Can you discuss the things you know about the organization? Why are you
interested to join our organization?
6. What are your career plans for the next five years if given the chance to work
with our organization?

7. Can you describe your work ethic? How do you work with a team and with
your superior?

Job Offer

Once the entrepreneur or the hiring manager has been convinced


already of the credentials and the interview answers of the candidate, the job
contact is now prepared.

Job Contract

A job contract generally summarizes the terms and conditions of the


candidate’s employment with the business.

Terms and Conditions

1) rank or position of the candidate

2) list of responsibilities or deliverables and its scope and limitations

3) salary and benefits including vacation and sick leaves

4) work schedule

5) probationary period if any and qualifications to become a regular employee

6) duration of the contract

7) resignation procedure (e.g., 30-day notice or leave immediately)

Employee Development

Training people is one of the biggest investments of an entrepreneur or


a businessman.

Employee orientation

Employee orientation is usually a one-to-two-day session that summarizes


the history of the business

Includes

 introduction to the co-employees and superiors


 the tour of the work place
 the discussion of daily responsibilities and accountabilities including
key performance indicators (KPI) and key results area (KRA) of the
employee.
On-the-job training (OJT)

Most practical tool in training the employee under a supervision of a team


leader or manager. This will spare the entrepreneur the cost of further classroom
training because the employee is already productive and exposed to the real
job and what he or she experiences from the on-the-job training will serve as a
learning investment.
Buddy System

The buddy system is a training program wherein an expert team member


is assigned to assist a new employee in his or her function.
Strategies for talent management

1) Providing employees with a very competitive salary package that


includes guaranteed bonuses, performance bonuses, commissions, and
other monetary incentives.
2) Nonmonetary benefits such as medical coverage, different types of
leaves (vacation leave, sick leave, emergency leave, birthday leave,
maternity or paternity leave, study leave), decent and notable job titles,
flexibility in work schedule, awards and recognition for excellent
performance, inspirational leaders, transparency and fairness in employee
performance evaluation, and channels to which employees can provide
constructive feedback without the risk of being fired.
3) Additional (optional) benefits such as annual trips (international or local),
work-from-home opportunities, scholarships, transportation and
communication allowances, free meals and drinks, fitness programs,
sports programs, and other work-life balance programs.
