I agree with @officialapcng. Every function in corporate hr is strategic.

Including HR Administration, Payroll, Recruitment and employee welfare?

No body fit catch me mugu again I don know everything for HR.

Tell me why did the NNPC outsource recruitment? Because it is a transcational role not transformational .

I repeat not all HR roles are strategic that is why organisations outsource those transnational roles to save cost.

The strategic roles are those roles your clients companies will never out source.

OfficialAPCNig:
Are you sure you even understand what this term you have been throwing around careless is?

Strategic roles are those roles carried out strictly to achieve long term objectives.

Tactical roles are the day to day performance of strategic roles.

Strategic roles are geared towards business sustainability.

Every function in corporate HR is strategic.

Like I said before, I am not playing this rat race with you. I defended my Masters thesis 3 years ago and I am not going to do that on Nairaland again.

Thank you.

Let me clarify you using recruitment as an example. Strategic roles deals with long term planning in the case of recruitment it entails man power/workforce planning, new skills requirements, Organizational interventions and they are done by the executives

Tactical roles are not day to day functions as you
claim but mid-term roles in the case of recruitment would entail high potential identification, candidates sourcing channels, using recruitment analytics to improve the process and it is undertaking by management typically GM and snr managers .

Finally we have the operational roles which involved the day to day functions of recruitment like screening of CVs short listing of candidates interviews and the likes handle by recruiters

NOT all roles in corporate HR is strategic. Corporate HR depends on the size of the organisation. smaller organisation will have all HR functions in corporate but larger organisations will have just strategic functions and roles in corporate and other distributed within the business.

AND to remain you you've not answered my question. Abi you no know am?

OfficialAPCNig:
I can't descend to that level with you. Believe whatever you want.

But before I leave you, let me help you. Strategic simply means long term.

Organisational Design is a function within HRM just like Recruitment and Selection, Training and appraisal.

Design is one boring work. Recruitment is as strategic as Designs. This is because even if you come up with the best design and Recruitment is unable to fill up those roles with smart pips, you just wasted your time. But without Designs Recruitments would know the roles to start filling for and the requisite skills.

Like I told you before, I am currently on the same level with our Head of O.D and I got my promotion first.

This is the farthest I can go with your game.

I am not on Nairaland to run a race rat. I am here to bash APC and whatever they represent.

Then go and BASH the APC. Form your explanation you are not in a strategic role.

OfficialAPCNig:
So the promotion, what do you think it is for? Achieved in less than 10 years. That is a record itself.

What do you understand by strategic HR roles? Anyway I head my organisation's star team, if you understand what that means. We handle all those responsibilities, except Organisational design, which is a separate Team and all the Teams are under one Department headed by a Senior management staff and luckily I am joining that cadre next year.

Currently, I am on the same level with the Head of Organisational Designs and he has close to 20 years experience in the field.

I hate talking too much because it would seem that I am being arrogant for grace I attribute only to God.

I thought you are even into HR.

As a CIPM practitioner aspirating for CIPD I was expecting real technical questions. OK. A star team is a high performing team and comprises of high performing and high potential individuals. They are usually valued by their organisation.

Before I answer your first question I will like to clarify something. Strategic function is different from strategic roles.

A strategic role is the role responsible for the long range planning of the business and it determines the wellbeing of the business. In HR they are usually positioned in areas where key HR data are synthesised and interpreted or they are key decision makers.


Although you claim to handle activities in the strategic functions but I can clearly see that it is in a transactional role. You are probably Head of HR services.

Comparing yourself to Head of Organisational design is akin to a Head Nurse comparing his/her self to a Head medical doctor. Do you think your organisation is a fool for keeping an individual with close to 20 years in that role? He/She is the strategic head of HR.

Since I have answered your question let me ask mine.

What are the advantages of P-O fit to P-J fit in recruitment.

What is the difference between Talent Management and Succession Management.

OfficialAPCNig:
Ok. Hopefully by the end of 2nd week of Feb, I would take delivery of my promotion letter and this would make me one of the youngest in the history of our company. I am less than 30 and I have only been with the company for less than 10 years.

January I am going to UK for the mandatory training. I was certified to practice in Nigeria few years ago and next year, I would be fully certified to practice in UK.

I didn't get there by being stupid or getting intimidated by what people think of my process.

You have an impressive resume no doubt but I am not moved by these because you merely harness the opportunities that came your way .

As far as am concern if you are as good as you claim you would have moved to more strategic function in HR .

I am not an HR practitioner but l knew the field inside out. If I were to take up a career in HR I would have prefer more strategic functions like Organisational design and development , Talent management and development , Employee Relations and Negotiation, Training and development, before your recruitment and selection.

OfficialAPCNig:
What you don't know is more than you, and if you don't understand how recruitment process works for mass employment for entry positions, then just ask.

Thank you.

I understand the recruitment process perfectly. From manpower planning through to offer
.
And there is no HR best practice that supports your view .

I can confidently say that your advice is based on your personal bias not on best practice.

OfficialAPCNig:
Use A Professional Email Address

I don't about other Recruiters, but for me, a stupid email address will never earn an invite from me.

What the heck are, Chizzybaby@gmail.com, Zainab4luv@yahoo.com? Seriously, these ain't email anyone seriously looking for job should be associating with.

Personally, I prefer emails with the applicants' full name or first name.

Try as much as possible not to use numbers in your email address, only when necessary.

Something like this is manageable, LekanAzeez86@gmail.com but Lekan86@gmail.com is unacceptable to me.

Officiallekan@gmail.com, IamLekan@gmail.com, LekanOfficial@gmail.com are all acceptable to me.

I thank God you are posting this based on your personal experience and not on general practice. Honestly I feel sorry for your clients because they have miss out individuals who would have made a difference based on your so-called experience. I read an article about a young man who became CEO of a robotic company at the age of 26. Do you know how he was recruited? Through linkedin in a discussion where the boy was proffering solutions to problems. It will interest you to know that this boy is not a graduate. There is no HR expert that will advice you to disregard an application based on an email address. If I were you I will start looking for creativity potentials from this. I taught best practice advises you shortlist based on the ability to do the job.

If Neymar were around Barca would have gone unbeating last season. Messi would be contesting another world best.

If earth quake happen for naija wenti you go do?

Abuja Earth Tremors Is Nigeria about to experience an earthquake?

“My house in Abuja shook even more violently at 6:12 am this morning. This time, it was accompanied by a loud bang. Windows rattled and the dogs barked immediately. Again, a bit like a bomb,” said Joe Abah, the former chairman of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms.

Like Dr Abah, this has been the tale of many Nigerians who reside in the capital city of Abuja.
For about three days, unusual sounds, vibrations and movements at houses and offices, are a common occurrence especially in the morning.
Geologists say it is an earth tremor.
Earth tremors are a relatively small or short-lived movements of the earth's surface caused by the forces that produce earthquakes.
Simple as this may sound, most Abuja residents now live in fear of a possible earthquake.
"We’re on another level here in Abuja. We don’t need alarm clocks. Tremor wakes us up and jerks us off the bed,” a Twitter user, Nkiruka Okosisi said.

Why is Abuja experiencing tremors?

At 4:39pm on Thursday, September 6, 2018, a massive 7.8 earthquake was recorded in Suva, capital of Fiji, a country in the South Pacific. This caused vibrations in other locations on the pacific rim of fire.
Due to the magnitude, echoes of the quake may cause tremors to occur in a location at the opposite end of the globe.
“Abuja is almost diametrically opposite Fiji. This is likely what happened. Nigeria is otherwise geologically stable,” said Sim Sayaga.
Quarrying activities have also contributed to the vibrations in the capital city.
Mpape or Maitama extension has experienced more vibrations than any other part of the city. Explosive materials are used to blast rocks in this area.

Usain Bolt world fastest man is now a professional footballer.

Usain Bolt wins big in first professional football game

Usain Bolt
The world’s fastest man ever, Usain Bolt, is following through his ambition to pursue a professional career in football.
He had a winning debut on Friday as his team, Central Coast Mariners, emerge as 6-1 winners in a pre-season friendly.
Bolt was introduced into the game in the last 20 minutes and though he showed some flashes of brilliance, the Jamaican is fully aware that he still has a long way to go to be up to speed as a professional football player.
The six-foot-five star showcased some handy footwork on the left flank and had a number of close scoring opportunities, unfortunately, go wide.
The Mariners eventually closed out a commanding 6-1 victory as a sweat-soaked Bolt walked off the field to speak to the media.
“It was good, the crowd gave me a good ovation and I appreciate that,” he said. “I wish I had more touches but I’m not fit yet so I’ve just got to put in the work and get up to speed. I’m looking forward to a great season.”
Bolt said his fitness improved over the last two weeks on the Central Coast but said it could take four to five months before he gets fully fit.
Enjoyed getting some playing time tonight with the Central Coast Mariners FC. Thanks to all the fans who came out to support. #CCMFC#dontthinklimits#workinprogresspic.twitter.com/NM5pRMVLlf

Former Socceroo Mark Bosnich criticised Bolt’s skill level after the game, claiming the Mariners would need to be “very patient” with him if they wish to keep him on the bill long-term.
“He needs a lot of work,” Bosnich said. “Forget about the fitness, he needs a lot of work on his skill. He mentioned four or five months so the question the club have got to ask themselves is are they going to stand by him?
Before Friday’s outing, the last time Bolt played in a friendly match, he shared the pitch with football greats like Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry and Christian Vieri.
It was an exhibition match in Paris to mark the 20-year anniversary since France’s 1998 World Cup victory.

For me make barca take the guy back if the money no big.wenti you think.
