- 14. 14 Controlling costs One way for a firm to gain a competitive advantage is to maintain low costs and a strong cash flow (sale volume). A compensation system that uses innovative reward strategies to control labor costs can help the organization grow. A well-designed compensation system rewards employees for behaviors that benefit the company. Other factors besides compensation policies can enhance a firm's competitiveness by keeping labor costs under control. These include: better employee selection so that workers are more likely to stay with the company and to perform better while they are there, training employees to make them more efficient and productive; attaining harmonious labor relations); effectively managing health and safety issues in the workplace and structuring work to reduce the time and resources needed to design, produce, and deliver products or services Introduction to HRM - HIMS

Many companies are implementing total quality management (TQM) initiatives, which are programs designed to improve the quality of all the processes that lead to a final product or service.

- 18. 3) Individual Challenges Human resource issues at the individual level address concerns that are most pertinent to decisions involving specific employees. These issues almost always reflect what is happening in the larger organization. How individuals are treated also is likely to have an effect on organizational issues. For instance, if many key employees leave a firm to join its competitor, it will affect the competitive position of the firm. The individual issues include matching people and organization, ethics and social responsibility,
- 19. Productivity is a measure of how much value individual employees add to the goods or services that the organization produces. The greater the output per individual, the higher the organization's productivity. Two important factors that affect individual productivity are ability and motivation. Employee ability, competence in performing a job, can be improved through a hiring and placement process that selects the best individuals for the job. It can also be improved through training and career development programs designed to sharpen employees' skills and prepare them for additional responsibilities. Motivation also have significant impact on productivity, motivation refers to a person's desire to do the best possible job or to exert the maximum
- 20. Ethics and Social Responsibility – Corporate social responsibility refers to the extent to which companies should and do channel resources toward improving one or more segments of society other than the firm’s owners or stockholders. •For example, McDonald's established Ronald McDonald houses several years ago to provide temporary accommodation for families of sick children hospitalized away from home. Sears and General Electric support artists and performers, and many local merchants support local children's sports teams.
- 21. Job Insecurity – In this era of downsizing and restructuring, many employees fear for their jobs. For most workers, being able to count on a steady job and regular promotions is a thing of the past. Even the most profitable companies have laid off workers. Companies argue that regardless of how well the firm is doing, layoffs have become essential in an age of cutthroat competition job insecurity is a major source of stress and can lead to lower performance and productivity
- 22. Empowerment In recent years many firms have reduced employee dependence on superiors and placed more emphasis on individual control over (and responsibility for) the work that needs to be done. This process has been labeled empowerment because it transfers direction from an external source (normally the immediate supervisor) to an internal source (the individual's own desire to do well). In essence, the process of empowerment entails providing workers with the skills and authority to make decisions that would traditionally be made by managers. The goal of empowerment is an organization consisting of enthusiastic, committed people who perform their work ably because they believe in it and enjoys doing it (internal control). This situation is in harsh contrast to an organization that gets people to work as an act of compliance to avoid punishment (for example, being fired) or to qualify for a paycheck (external control).
