It is significant for any human resource manager involved in employee recruitment and selection to understand the legal requirements and issues that direct the usage of valuation methods and procedures in a company. The management of staffing systems deals with effective and efficient frameworks companies use for employee attrition. Staffing systems management helps company leaders build clear visibility on the issues that could affect employees’ productivity. Human resource managers are responsible for maintaining employee morale to increase the attrition rate of the particular company. Staffing systems are central to helping an organization manage its employees and ensure that collective and personal welfare alights with the company’s mission and goals (Hunter, 2020). The system is an assortment of people, processes, and technologies organizations rely on to forecast and evaluate employee performance. It consists of various tools, including project management software, content workflow programs, calendar, work breakdown structures, enterprise resource planning software, scheduling activities, and human resource management application. In order for the manager to ensure that the legal requirements are not only well known and understood but also strictly adhered to, it is imperative to conduct training for managers on the matter of legal staffing.
The required training should consist of two major parts. A part of the training would need to be devoted to accurate information. To put it another way, this section of the training would focus on providing accurate knowledge regarding the regulations and legislation that must be observed during the hiring process. These activities aim to apply the factual knowledge they have been provided to scenarios that might occur in real life. Secondly, when managers recruit people, they should make sure that the employee is aware of the performance measurement requirements. Managers who neglect to convey measurement criteria to employees are later fired based on these metrics and risk being sued for illegal termination. The process of recruiting and selecting employees involves examining and evaluating the employees’ skills and abilities (Avasilcăi, 2020). The staffing concept does not only involve selecting the right number and quality of workers to attain the forecasted company productivity, but it must also adhere to the legal requirements of the staffing system management.
There are various steps to ensure the manager considers the legal requirements of staffing system management. Managers should hire competent employees for the company to continue running effectively. They should promote and recruit new employees from objective perspectives. The recruitment and selection process should not be a procedure involving any unnecessarily political bacchantic patronage (Hough, 2019). The decision concerning recruitment should be objective to fair. The process should observe the true and fair treatment of all complied applicants for it to be equitable.
Besides objective employee selection, hiring managers and staffing departments should be encouraged to educate not only employees on their responsibilities as workers but their rights as an individual under federal and state labor law. For example, according to Temizkan and Yücesoy (2020), employees unaware of their rights are more likely to be exploited by the employer and less likely to present efficient service. For this reason, in order to secure legal staffing, managers should be trained to dedicate a part of the onboarding process to giving exhaustive information on the matter of overtime payment, benefits, and, if possible, the legal options of joining labor unions (Kemp, n.d.). By doing this, hiring managers anticipate future complications of the labor law violation and increase the staff’s motivation to perform all their tasks.
Considering the steps above, it can be concluded that the best motivation for encouraging engagement in legal staffing actions is the demonstration of their benefits for all the parties. Thus, by creating a tangible framework of manager training, the managers not only become more aware of the specific staffing law but have a better perception of the quantitative advantages of ethical employment and coordination. The training should take place regularly as well as regarding the changes introduced to the labor legal system.
