Human engineering

Abstract

Discusses the importance of development and efficiency of human resources. Stability in employment results from proper selection of workers. The essentials of reduced turnover of employees were found to be good working conditions. The employer's concerns were the employees' knowledge, his initiative, loyalty, courtesy and sobriety. It was also important for the employer to know about the employee's attitudes towards improvement and his ambition. Once placed on the job, the employee must be appraised, either by asking his foreman or colleagues. Attempts have been made by employers to improve safety, provide insurance, transportation, housing, food, time off to relax during fatigue periods, and opportunities for training and specialization, for the employees. To reduce turnover, every plant must give its employees opportunity for advancement and self development. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
