Essentials of a good record in HRM

(i)The objectives for which it is maintained should be clearly and adequately stated.

(ii)It should be consistent with the requirements for which it is maintained and should be easily available.

(iii)Its upkeep and maintenance should not be costly. It should be kept under lock and key to ensure that it is not mislaid or pilfered, or tampered with.

(iv)It should be periodically reviewed and brought up to-date.

(v)It should be maintained in such a manner that the information it contains is easily accessible.

(vi)It should be easily identified and differentiated from another record.

(vii)The records of different kinds of information should be kept and maintained in separate files and dockets for ready reference.

(viii)Duplication of entries in different records should be avoided.

(ix)Some particular person should be entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining records.

(x)A procedural manual should be maintained, detailing the procedure to be followed for maintaining and dealing with records.
