Do you remember that time your boss called you into their office and told you they were disappointed in your performance? You sat there, feeling like a guilty school boy. But did you know that it wouldn’t have been possible for your boss to say those words if it wasn’t for Human Resources (HR)?
HR is one of the most essential departments in any organization because it monitors employee performance, relationships with clients and suppliers, as well as ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. It’s also responsible for recruiting new employees and ensuring no discrimination takes place within the workplace.
The right plans can save money, time and resources
If you’re planning an event, you want to make sure that it goes well. And the best way to do that is with proper planning.
- Save money: You can save on costs by doing your homework and finding the best prices for everything from venue hire to catering services.
- Save time: A well-planned event means less stress for everyone involved, which means less time spent worrying about whether everything will run smoothly on the day itself–and more time enjoying themselves!
- Save resources: When things go according to plan, there’s no need for last-minute improvisation or emergency measures–everything runs smoothly as if by magic!
It helps your employees to stay safe and secure
HR is responsible for ensuring that your employees are safe and secure at work. They will make sure all staff have the right equipment to do their job, such as hard hats or safety boots. They can also help with any training needs you may have. HR will also be able to advise on health insurance packages, so that all employees are covered in case of injury at work or illness outside of work hours (i.e., when they’re driving home from an event).
If there’s an incident onsite which involves employee welfare–such as a fire alarm going off–it’s important that HR knows about it immediately, so they can take action if necessary!
Everyone knows who’s responsible for what
So, let’s recap.
You should have a clear job description for each member of your team. This allows them to know exactly what they are responsible for and how they should be carrying out their tasks. It also helps you keep track of who’s doing what, which is essential when managing large groups of people with different responsibilities (and personalities).
You need a clear chain of command in place so that everyone knows who is responsible for what at any given time. If something goes wrong or gets messed up, it’s much easier to figure out where the buck stops if there are only one or two places it can land instead of five or six!
Finally, having roles and responsibilities clearly defined will ensure that everyone knows exactly where they stand in relation to each other–a crucial part of building trust within an organization!
It ensures everyone is prepared for whatever happens
As an event manager, you want to make sure that you’re prepared for anything. Whether it’s a small meeting or an extravagant conference, there are always going to be challenges that come up during the planning process. One way to help prevent these challenges from turning into problems is by having someone on your team who can handle them before they become issues–and that person is your Human Resources Manager!
A good HR manager will help plan for the unexpected. If something goes wrong at one of your events, it’s nice knowing that there’s someone who knows exactly how things should play out in such situations (and what needs to be done). They may even have some advice on how best to deal with certain situations based on experiences or training sessions they’ve attended over time.
The best way to ensure that your HR manager is prepared to handle anything that comes their way is by training them. A good way to do this is with a simulation game. This can be done in a variety of ways, but one of the most common ways is through creating an app where people play as different characters.
The app would be designed to simulate events that could happen during an event, such as a fire alarm going off or someone getting injured. The players would then have to make decisions based on what they’ve learned in their training sessions–and how they handle these problems will determine whether they pass.
You’ll know exactly how the event is going to progress
Planning is about making sure you have all the information you need, all the resources at your disposal, and all of your employees working together to make it happen.
HR plays an important role in this process by ensuring that:
- You’re aware of any legal requirements or company policies that might affect how your event runs.
- The venue has been booked in advance, as well as any suppliers needed (catering, entertainment etc.).
- All staff members know when their shifts are scheduled and how many hours they will be required to work each day/weekend (so they can plan accordingly).
HR is important for every business sector, including event management
HR is a crucial part of any business, including event management. HR helps you to hire the right people, manage your employees and keep them safe and secure. It also helps you to manage your business finances.
HR can be defined as “the process of managing people within an organization”. This involves:
- Recruitment – Finding new staff members who are suitable for your company;
- Selection – Selecting which candidate should be hired for the vacancy advertised;
- Orientation – Training new employees on how things work in the company;
- Motivation – Encouraging employees so that they perform at their best levels possible in order for the company’s goals or objectives to be met successfully;
- Development – Encouraging employees to grow in their careers and helping them with training if they want to change jobs within the company;
- Remuneration – Paying salaries, bonuses and other financial benefits to employees;
- Discipline – Managing staff members who are not performing well or have broken rules or regulations set by the company;
- Leave Management – Allowing employees time off from work for various reasons such as illness, family emergencies, study leave etc.;
Conclusion
HR is a critical part of event management, and it’s one that you can’t afford to ignore. If you want to keep your employees safe and secure at work, then it’s essential that you have the right plans in place. Without HR there would be no way for everyone involved in organizing an event to know who’s responsible for what, how things will go ahead according to plan or even how long it might take before everything is ready!
