Manpower audits: Solutions to improve labor productivity (Part 1)

Manpower audits (MA) can help organizations build a human resource map to coordinate and properly use this resource.

Many of the global impacts are now changing the way the labor market operates. Human power is gradually being replaced by automation and technology 4.0 applications. As technology is growing, recruitment requirements are becoming more and more specialized, because hard, repetitive and repetitive jobs can now be done easily by robots. Accordingly, the value of human resources is becoming superior to other resources.

The appropriate allocation of human resources plays an extremely important role for managers, because this is a factor directly affecting labor productivity. The solution to this is in the human resource audit (MA) process. The human resource map built from the principles of the MA outlines the direction to implement the organization’s strategic goals based on what they have.

MA = rightsizing

The success of an organization is directly proportional to the level of efficiency when they use resources, and of course not except human resources. The MA supports the empowerment of individual resource groups within the organization to help them more effectively carry out their work. Powers are a quality improvement tool if it is in the right hands. On the other hand, MA also helps managers to see problems that are difficult to recognize from the personnel perspective.

It is worth mentioning that the MA only relates to authority directly, not to affect the organization’s processes, sizes, and policies. In other words, decentralization in the MA is a consistent activity with the strategic goals of the organization from the beginning. The object of an MA is a group of resources classified by function, instead of the individual’s working capacity as in personnel management.

If implemented effectively, MA is a relatively simple but highly effective process. APO said that each organization has the potential to improve from 5 to 10% of labor productivity through the application of MA. However, in order to do this, they need to analyze N.O.N.G to outline the appropriate implementation plan.
