Effectively manage human resources for resuming work and production in enterprises
On February 3rd, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to discuss the next steps in epidemic prevention and control. The meeting emphasized the need to fully support and organize the resumption of work and production of various types of production enterprises on the premise of doing a good job in prevention and control. On February 10th, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need to actively promote the resumption of work and production in enterprises and institutions during his research and guidance on the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in Beijing. Efforts to achieve this year's economic and social development goals and tasks inevitably require enterprises to resume work and production on the premise of doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control. To resume work and production in enterprises, it is necessary to coordinate epidemic prevention and control with production and operation based on their own actual situation. Enterprises with conditions can fully utilize modern technological means and platforms to innovate human resource management models.
Under the conventional management mode, employees gather in a stable workplace in the form of departments or teams to carry out their work. During the epidemic prevention and control period, we can actively explore the combination of flexible time and remote work, self-management and goal management, and online learning with full participation, further deepening the reform and innovation of human resource management. Currently, the development of information technologies such as 5G, big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things in China provides favorable conditions for the transformation and innovation of human resource management.
The remote work mode based on information platforms breaks through the limitations of work locations, allowing employees with permission to freely choose their work location and working hours. For enterprises, implementing remote work can also save property and management costs, effectively improving the efficiency of office resource utilization. During the epidemic prevention and control period, enterprise managers can reasonably arrange corresponding work methods based on production methods and industry characteristics, adjust the incentive and assessment methods of the enterprise's human resources management department, and effectively improve the enthusiasm and initiative of employees' work. For example, high-tech companies can adopt flexible working hours to allow employees to work at different times; Build a research and development platform based on information technology, allowing employees to work in a simulated research and development environment. Traditional service enterprises can build service platforms, transfer consumption locations, and provide customized services.
Enterprises adopting remote work forms such as working from home can help prevent and control the epidemic, but it also puts higher demands on the self-management ability of workers, involving time management, work management, goal management, and other aspects. For enterprises, they can follow the principles of specificity, measurability, achievability, relevance, and time limit to explore a management model that combines employee self-management with enterprise goal management. Specifically, one is to strengthen personal initiative. Enhance the determination and perseverance of workers in self-management, and transform it into concrete actions to do a good job in practical work. Properly handle the relationship between goal setting and action implementation, so that employees can truly achieve psychological stability, mental resilience, and action without delay. The second is to strengthen the execution of work. Break down goals and tasks into specific tasks for employees, handle the relationship between individual work and team collaboration properly, and ensure that every task is implemented and responded to. The third is to strengthen the perception of motivation. Transform enterprise goals and phased assessments into effective means of motivating employees, and properly handle the relationship between goal achievement and process incentives.
Human resources are the most valuable resource for enterprises. In the face of the new situation of epidemic prevention and control, enterprises should make full use of modern information technology to build a hybrid online and offline learning scene and communication platform for all employees, accelerate the construction of a shared, networked, and interactive learning organization, reconstruct enterprise learning teams, minimize the impact of the epidemic on enterprise production, and strengthen employee education and training, providing human resource support for the long-term development of enterprises. For enterprise employees, in the face of sudden epidemics, they should enhance their crisis awareness, establish a long-term vision, and further strengthen online learning and lifelong learning. Based on one's own interests and career development plan, make full use of opportunities such as delayed start and flexible work, and rely on various learning platforms to carry out online learning, virtual simulation practice and other activities, continuously learn and recharge, and effectively achieve continuous empowerment, extensive empowerment, and comprehensive empowerment, laying a solid foundation for personal long-term development.
