HUMAN RESOURCES

Are the people who

work in a business.
Bringing new people into
a company can be
like adding new
members to a family—it
can change everything.
Advantages &
disadvantages
of hiring
people
• Having others to share the work.
• An employee can also be a valuable second-
incommand when a business owner is called
away from work.
• They can supply skills and qualities the
ADVANTAGES
entrepreneur lacks.
• New ideas may emerge when people of
different backgrounds and personalities work
together on a project.
• Hiring an assistant to schedule
appointments and take care of day-to-day
tasks, for example, allows more time to
research the market for a new service, tinker
with improving a product design, or promote
the company to potential investors.
• Many entrepreneurs take satisfaction in
hiring entrepreneurially minded people.
These employees may someday go on to
become entrepreneurs themselves.
 DIS
AD
• The responsibilities of becoming a boss
include the added expenses: not only VAN
employees’ wages, but also taxes on those TAG
wages and insurance premiums to cover on-
the-job injuries. ES
• Once an applicant is hired, the employer may
need to fill out a form declaring that the
employee has presented documents (photo
ID, Social Security card, etc.) showing that he
or she can legally work in the U.S.
• Records must be kept of the employee’s hours
worked, wages paid, and taxes withheld. If the
worker is injured on the job or files a
complaint, the government requires that this
too must be documented.
• Hiring employees may mean establishing
more detailed workplace rules and policies.
⦁ Can you afford employees?
⦁ Are you ready to be a boss?
⦁ Can you share control?
⦁ Are you willing to delegate
authority or responsibility to
someone else?
⦁ Do you have the people
skills required to manage
employees?
⦁ Do you know how to act
with authority?
Your employees will share credit
for your business’s success, but
you must accept the ultimate
responsibility if things go wrong.

LINE ORGANIZATION

a direct chain of command

through levels of personnel who are directly
involved in a business’s
main occupation. To use the school comparison,
line organization
describes the relationship between principal,
teacher, and student.

LINE-AND-STAFF

An expanded version of a line organization is the

line-and-staff organization. In this type of
structure, staff members advise, assist,or
support the work of line personnel. In the school
example,
that’s where the maintenance crew fits in
PROJECT ORGANIZATION

in which employees from more than one

department work as a team on a
specific goal. Project organization ends once the
project goal is reached.
 Trend in
Structures
Although they are useful, traditional
organizational structures don’t always
fi t today’s rapidly changing, global
economy. To stay competitive,
entrepreneurs are stretching
traditional structures and inventingnew
ones. Clearly defi ned roles and
responsibilities are giving way
tointerdepartmental teams and
networks that can be put together as
theneed arises. Larger companies
especially need this fl exibility.
Recruiting
and Hiring
Employees
 TO RECRUIT

means to find and hire qualified

candidates for a job.
Recruiting is an investment: the
thought and preparation put into
the process is repaid by the
quality of the workers you hire.
WRITING A JOB DECRIPTION

an explanation of a position’s purpose, tasks,

and responsibilities and the qualifications
needed to perform it. To attract only qualified
applicants, a job description should list specific
activities and qualifications and rank their
importance procedures, for instance.
The description should also reflect how
responsibilities might grow in the future. If you
hope the assistant hired today will advance to
become the office manager of tomorrow, you
might note: “Experience in personnel
management desirable.”.

compensation other than money and benefits an

Determining bimonthly, or monthly

payment—is more typical for

Compensation jobs where the hours and

schedules vary.
Locating Job
Candidates

Ideally, you’ll create a list of

potential candidates before the
need to hire becomes pressing.
Take note of people you meet
whose talents or work ethic you
admire, including current
employees of customers and
the competition.
 Screening
Candidates

Taking applications or résumés is

the most practical and legally safest
way to evaluate job candidates.
Those documents, along with the
job description, provide a fair, fixed
standard for comparing potential
employees.

MENTORING
a mentor is a person of greater
experience or knowledge who guides and supports another
person in developing as a professional. A mentoring relationship
is typically a longterm relationship. Besides practical knowledge
about the job and career,a mentor can impart lessons on life
management—setting and reaching goals, for example, or the
rewards of giving back to the community.

Performance-
Based Rewards

when carefully thought out, avoid such

confusion. First, the reward is linked to a
specific, achievable goal and is
related to the work involved—in other
words, the greater the achievement, the
greater the reward. An employer must
also be able to afford
it. A small reward employees can be sure
of receiving will motivate them
better than a large one that is doubtful.
Flexible Work
Arrangements
FLEXTIME

Some employees might

start and finish work one

others, or alternate
between working four
days and five days a
week. Or employees could
split duties through job
