Management of support
Emotional labor is positively related to burnout and intention to leave. According to the
articles, human resource management departments are not on the side of employees as required,
especially in light of the rising demand for services, organizational delays, and the significant
emotional labor involved in providing those services (Mann & Islam, 2015). First responders of
all categories are affected by this inaction, such as paramedics, nurses, doctors, social workers,
police, and paramedics, who participate in emotional labor. The administration of human
resources has not yet addressed the emotional devastation they are going through. HR
recruitment should focus on emotional intelligence, communication, and interpersonal skills, and
focus on attitude toward the job. Performance management should include adherence to
recruiting procedures during times of emergency. They should be ready to permit the hiring of
temporary workers right away (Mann & Islam, 2015). Employees working during emergencies
should get a paid premium to appreciate their labor during declared disasters. To reduce the risk
of employee getting hurt during emergency, the HR department should have policies on the
security of office equipment. There should be protocols in place at various human resources
offices for reporting facility issues like physical damage that can increase danger and harm in an
emergency. Therefore, in addition to their regular responsibilities, the HR office should support
required for catastrophe recovery have been recognized by my human resources office, along
with their sources. An example to emulate is The Texas Labor Code, which tackles problems like
pay and health benefits, and is part of the Texas State Emergency Management Statutes package.
Additionally, it is clearly stated in the guide used by the disaster management department in
Texas that short-term workers can be recruited to help with performance of the duties associated
with "providing financial aid to people or families qualified for disaster relief."
Self-care plans
According to Mastracci (2015), first responders can handle the demands related to
emotional labor of their professions with the aid of self-care procedures and management of
critical incidents in after the disaster. They need tactics such as inclusive debriefings on dealing
with post-incident stress, formal therapy, and diffusion session. By using properly crafted
standing orders and operating procedures, rigorous, continuous training for effective decision-
"people will know "who they are" and have a stronger sense of self-worth, they will be less
Performance evaluation
Organizations must take into account the entire worker to effectively recruit, train,
develop, and assess employees based on performance. As required by their jobs, employees must
be able to repress, manage, and elicit the emotions of both themselves and others (Mann &
Islam, 2015). Employees must be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to regulate
emotions of affected people and their own employers, the HR must recognize and reward them
for doing so. As far as the human resource department is concerned, they need to improve their
procedures, particularly for emergency workers like nurses and midwives, to reduce burnout and
the likelihood that they will leave or change careers, allowing them to stay with the company for
a longer period. The employees will, however, feel more engaged and strive harder to attain
organizational goals and work for their productivity by providing high-quality care if the HR
rules are improved. To support and regulate emotional labor in the context of a high-performance
work system that serves as a mediator, there is a need for improved models of human resource
management in public organizations (Mann & Islam, 2015). These include HR tactic that tends
to decrease the effects of emotional work. The various elements of a high-performance work
system include decentralized decision-making, aggressive hiring, in-depth training, teams, and
transformational leadership. The department must have distinct guidelines for overtime pay
during times of emergency. The best HR departments require employees to receive counseling.
They regularly evaluate the availability of the internal staff. After evaluation, employees receive
Conclusion
When performed over an extended period, emotional work may affect the operations of
the organization negatively and the employees’ health. The expansion of the service sector
dictates the value of emotional labor in many more recent professions. Performance management
should include adherence to documentation, creativity, and feedback. Organizations that want
their workers to deliver optimally must ensure that responders are catered for swift reaction to
disasters (nearly simultaneously). As a result, the HR managers play a vital role in bridging the
gap between the company and its employees. HR must carefully examine four crucial processes:
recruiting and selection, remuneration, training and development, and performance management
