Manpower Management :

Facing emerging challenges

successfully

1
 Apparent Problems
 Shortage of skilled Manpower.
 High cost of Manpower.
 High turnover.
 Employee perks/needs getting increased.
 Job satisfaction status going high.
 Better work environment expectations.

2
 Shortage of skilled Manpower in
India
By 2010 - Shortage 1 million
By 2030 - 35 million
If now industry is facing the heat of manpower
shortage what will happen later. Some drastic
changes are required:
- Mind Set.
- Production process Automation (by employing more
female employees e.g. Switzerland Watch Industry)
- Low rejection.
- Production efficiency comparable to the best in the
world.
- Man power sourcing by direct campus recruitment.
3
It is the game of survival of fittest.
Out come of shortage is increase in the cost of
manpower
e.g. CD manufacturing Co. (Automation/ fore
thought), having
- 6 Permanent employees.
- 3 Temporary employees.
- having production of 1.65 lakh. CD’s a day.

 Company’s Requirement
 Employee Cost?
 Cost Justification -
 Get higher valued jobs done from experienced
employees.
 Specialization.
 Time management.
 Measuring efficiency levels.
 Seniors capability to handle junior w.r.t.
 Broader view towards goal achievement.

5
 Changes Required in
State Of Mind Of Employer
 Inefficiency due to mismanagement of:
 Employer

 Wrong procedure adopted by

employer/employee
 Lack of Training

 Lack of foresight of employer and employee

 Lack of commitment (dedication by employees)

 Positive work culture

 Prioritize work given to employees

 Retain good employees

6
 Bring objectivity and accountability of the job
responsibility
 Bring professionalism along with loyalty of
employees
 Implement methods to bring transparency in
working
 Effective methods to cross check the efficiency
levels of employees
 Do as per the need of the hour instead of keep
cribbing 7

 Other way of thinking
 Improve the Quality of Services/ Product in
order to improve your profit to enable you
to sustain your employee with better
remunerations.
 Answer - > Continual Improvement in:
 Product Quality
 Service Quality
 Delivery period

8
 Consistency.
 Bringing innovative product in the market.
 New ideas which work.
 Make your company a preferred place for all
stakeholders.
 Employee
 Sub Contractor
 Trading business partners
 Venders
 Customers

9
 High cost of Man Power can be
Justified and Managed
 Giving more responsible/ value added
jobs to the senior employees by ultimately
increasing their capability.
 Management should bring senior people
from juniors within the company by
upgrading them.
 Then adding fresher or less experienced
people at entry level/ low skill stages.

10
 High Turnover of Employee
 Keep yourself abreast of the world scenario, if we
are maintaining standard of rejections/ productivity/
quality parameters then why not cost of employee
and turnover parameters.
 Ultimate aim is to perform better than the world
standards.
 Methods to prevent:
 Cordial relation.
 Friendly environment.
 Jobs security.
 Growth security.
 Retirement benefits.
 Less Stressful environment.
 Recognition.
 Professional culture. 11
 Demand for Better Work
Environment
 It is the interest of the company to provide good work
environment rather than demand of the employee.
 Good work environment improves:
 Quality of work.
 Accuracy of work.
 Efficient work.
 E.g. In most of the develop countries people have high
self esteem which they attach with the best of product
services for them.
 In 90% of cases they shall accept a product which is the
best irrespective of its price. It is only in developing
countries that value for money is more into question, but
the trend is moving towards the best.
12
 Today’s Scenario
Problem or Opportunity - ?
1. Think of it as opportunity (Indian economy) (Indian
Consumer requirement).
2. Believe in specialization.
3. Go for quality of above developed countries standard’s.
4. Products acceptability be 100% along with delight of
customer.
5. Company which brings innovative ideas/products is
bound to achieve goods results.
6. e.g. Shoe company survey.
7. Patience and consistency pays.
