问题 Is fire-and-hire attitude right or not when employing people? Why not?
选项
答案Suggested answers: a．I think company should retain experienced staff. Fire-and-hire attitude costs employers a lot of money a year. Take Hong Kong employers for example. When it comes to hiring the fight people and training them for the job, Hong Kong bosses come off worst in a survey of seven economies. Their poor hiring practices cost them $39 billion a year, or 3 per cent of the city’s output. b．Companies must retain experienced staff. If they don’t do it, they will lose their core competence. The vicious cycle caused by high staff turnover and the constant hiring of unsuitable people translated into staggering economic losses. The alarm was raised recently by British-based SHL, a manpower assessment company, which commissioned the survey that found Hong Kong managers spent a fifth of their time correcting mistakes made by their staff and that one in four employees left their job before they became competent at it. c．China clearly lags behind the other countries surveyed, with $30 billion wasted on poor-people performance. It’s a staggering figure. To put it in perspective, it is nearly what China spends on education every year. If the Chinese employers really want to employ the right people for the fight job, they need to look at the way they hire employees, looking specifically at the assessment process and asking themselves if it is really helping them decide on the right types of employees. d．I don’t think the fire-and-hire attitude is right. Last year, British think-tank The Future Foundation surveyed about 100 managers and 350 workers from each of the economies studied. It found 25 % of HK workers left their jobs before they had mastered them. And HK managers spent 21 per cent of their working hours redoing the work or correcting the mistakes of colleagues. In India, the figure was 16 per cent, in the US 13 per cent, in Australia 12 per cent, in the Netherlands 11 per cent, in Britain 9 per cent and in Sweden 7 per cent. I am not advocating labor laws one way or another, but in Sweden, the law is heavily in favor of the employees, so when companies hire, they have to make sure they hire the right people and invest time in properly training them. The survey results perhaps reflect the fire-and-hire attitude of HK managers, which is highly questionable as an effective human resources strategy. People may be surprised at the findings. I don’t have the impression that so many workers are performing at a low standard.
