Personnel measures refer to the various strategies and measures used in a company’s HR management to promote and manage the development of staff.
There is a wide range of different measures. The design of job advertisements, the conduct of job interviews and the selection process and the introduction of onboarding programs are all part of the recruiting measures. Personnel development includes team building, further training measures, mentoring and coaching. It also includes job enrichment, i.e. the expansion of tasks and responsibilities, and employer branding, i.e. strengthening the company as an attractive employer. Performance management includes setting clear performance targets, regular performance reviews, feedback processes and the development of incentive systems to increase employee motivation. Changes to the salary structure, the introduction of new benefits or changes to existing benefit packages also fall under personnel measures. The introduction of flexible working time models, part-time work or home office arrangements are examples of HR measures that can improve the work-life balance of employees. Companies can also implement measures to promote employee health and well-being. These include, for example, health checks or fitness programs. In times of economic change or restructuring, it may be necessary to take personnel measures such as layoffs or new hires.
All HR measures should be well thought out and implemented in line with the company’s goals and values. An effective HR policy is the key to long-term success and competitiveness and serves as protection against unwanted fluctuation.
