Expert: The conflict of interests and private relations expected to lose their affect on hiring procedures

ArmInfo. The conflict of  interests, private and family relations are to lose their affect on  hiring procedures, rapidly ceding the place to understanding that the  success in business depends on proper hiring and employment of staff,    Karen Sargsyan, the development and management expert of  Armenia-German Consulting company of Penta expressed his opinion to  journalists on December 13 in Yerevan. 

According to Sargsyan, during recent five years a rapid enhancement  is observed in the sector of human resources management in Armenian  companies:  both the motivation schemes and HR-managers approach are  being changed.  In the first case the main accent is put on the  development of schemes aimed at the long-term increase of the staff  motivation. At the same time, HR managers, getting to hiring the  required candidates, began to consider many factors - assuming their  vision of employees as the main asset of the company and it's  strategic resource. According to the expert, it is also important  that  Armenian companies improved their work in respect to staff  training, which is one of the preconditions for motivation tools  efficiency.  According to him, European experience shows  that the  company aimed at long-term sustainable development  draws up to 4% of  the total turnover. Armenia has no exact statistics in respect to  this issue, but, according to our monitoring, the exclusive  importance to the training procedures is paid by international  entities, banking sector and all those who are ruled by international  standards. What is to local companies, they are not strictly  concerned about that.

The main gap in the aspect of HR management is that the specialists  are not at their proper places, the expert mentioned. At the same  time, the HR management in Armenia is not developed and is not at the  precise level today. As of today, the HR manager and the Staffing  Officer is the same term for many people. And very few HR-managers  could reach high level in this aspect, and to select highly qualified  specialists from hundreds of candidates, to improve the indicators of   company's efficiency, to increase its competitiveness and to decrease  HR-management related expenses.
