Tardiness - Who's Responsibility Is What?

HR is basically a line function. The old school of thought consider HR as a departmental function, solely the jurisdiction of a few people in the HR department. If this was given enough serious consideration, HR Patrice jerseys white people would be very powerful, and very burdened.


Line leaders are responsible, not only for the output of production (product) but also for the resources to produce that product - the most critical of which is MAN. The leader is primarily responsible for his people - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

In my seminars on leadership, I always compare supervision to a family setting. If Patrice jerseys white I'm the father of my children, anything they do, they answer to me directly. I wouldn't allow my brother (their uncle) to discipline them for me. The same principle shall hold true in a workplace setting.

And what's the role of HR?, invariably they ask. HR provides guidance and proper perspective, being the "watchdog" (sorry for the terminology) of the whole house. Patrice jerseys white HR should see that there is equity of application, fairness in dealling with specific situations. HR should ensure that "due process" is observed all throughout, from issuance of the show-cause memo to the awarding of the final verdict, termination - the point of no return.

As members of the management family, leaders (no matter at what level), must be responsible enough and provide the expected balanced maturity to look into the multi-dimensions of their functions, which cover MAN, machine, money, materials, and methods. Product is one side of the coin; production capability is the other. Product is "the golden egg," process is "the goose" that lays the golden egg.

What about managers sanctioned for being tardy?

I had that unique record which is still unsurpassed to date, to be the only manager in an export processing zone being suspended for tardiness, and I enjoyed my 1-week vacation (without pay) by then.
