Human Relations

A human resources strategy should be fair and equitable, conscientious maybe, but without being exclusive, contemptuous or discriminatory. Complaints about unfair recruitment policies are often heard and reported as they create indignation among discouraged workers. It is not sour grapes. It may be the exception rather than the rule. Labour law has done a lot to improve the situation, but that does not stop people being fastidious. It still happens. It is as if some people do not want to be defiled by others and divide society into sacred and profane. It is not who are God's people, but what actions are incumbent on them as people. It is about the right use of goods. Modern economic and social progress and the struggle for justice and charity cannot be genuine without socially responsible businesses showing they have a proper sense of values and making their contribution to the prosperity of all mankind and world peace. It creates a good image and a reputation as a good employer. Skills and experience are in great abundance. Businesses need them. It makes good sense to use them for economic and social progress.
