5.2 Recommendation
Based on the findings, the study recommends that details of the recruitment policy should not be a preserve of the HRM department or a few of employees. New recruits should be well educated on the same and follow up done to ensure supervisors and or managers implement the right procedures to the last detail when inducting individuals in new roles. This would enable fast role adjustment and encourage great performance that will result in career progression.
The study also recommends that appraisal policy should be highly objective and performance fairly graded. The organization should go a step further to have preset repercussions for appraiser’s found and proved not to be fair in their assessments. Pre-established expectations would ensure employees get unbiased results that can be trusted. Consequently, encourage personal growth and a learning organization culture.
In regards to compensation policy, the study recommends that the policy should ensure that considered “talented” employees are not recruited at the expense of current employees. This can done by HR setting organization’s pay limits for a position. In addition, organizations should ensure there is a narrow salary dispersion in the various levels of the organization. Fairness across board tends to build a sense of trust which subsequently inspires employees to work hard and perform well.
