Let us go through various ways which help an organization to increase its human capital:
It is rightly said that the success and failure of any organization depends on its employees. Every employee in his/her own way contributes to the development of organization. One of the major responsibilities of a human resource professional is to source the right talent for the organization. Recruit the right person for the right role. Job mismatch leads to confusions and eventually decreases overall productivity and output.
Orienting new employees to their jobs must not be neglected. Mere piles of documents and employee handbooks are not sufficient to welcome a new employee. Boring and unrealistic employee induction programs often leave employees in a state of dilemma. Design a suitable induction program which not only acquaints a new individual with the systems, policies of the organization but also makes him feel comfortable within the system.

Problems must be discussed on an open forum for everyone to give their suggestions, feedbacks and ideas. Do not ignore even the minutest problem. Any problem left unattended may lead to a serious situation later on. Each employee should have a say in major decisions of the company. This way employees feel attached towards the management as well as organization. You never know when someone might come up with a brilliant idea.
Job responsibilities of employees must be clearly defined to expect the best out of them. Key responsibility areas must be designed in line with an individual’s past work experience, educational qualification and area of interest. KRAs ought to reflect essential functions of one’s job.
Employees must be motivated from time to time for them to work harder even next time and for others to draw inspiration from them. The talents of good employees must be recognized either by offering them lucrative incentives or giving them a decent salary hike.
