The 'DEW' Advantage

Ever hear of it, do you know what that means? It's a frequently used Military acronym of great importance, one that can mean the difference between defeat and victory, it means 'Distant Early Warning', meaning, an advanced information front to any intrusions or occurrences as they pertain to CCO (Command Center Operations) thereby affording time advantage to react to any unforeseen actions or surprises, or in the business sense, inter firm/organizational events or personnel changes. As a HR Manager you will be in-on and one-of the first to know when something important or ground shaking is going to happen within the company.

As the firm's HR Manager you will be an integral part of the company, you'll know what and how upper management or outside influences are projected to affect the firm. As an example, things such as layoffs, pay cuts, company mergers, company relocations, and yes, even dealing with unions, etc., will all be a part of your daily functions, the list of potential actions can be lengthy, depending on the depth and size of the firm you are working for. As a HR Manager you will need to exhibit great employer/employee relations and also should exhibit a certain amount of concern for those in the firm in which you are in charge, remember, you are being paid to help others. Having advance knowledge of surprise events and/or actions of your company will give you valuable time to react and come up with a plan to deal with it. It will also give to you something else you may not have counted on, that being the look of power you will have, and that can be a responsibility of another kind, and one you may not have considered, but one that if used in a good and strategic way, will reward you with a sense of feeling you just helped someone. Just remember, power is one thing, learning how to harness and use it is for benefit and good is another. So consider this in your equation of seeking that high paying career as a HR Manager and prepare your own DEW options in the process, you'll raise the eyebrows of the top exec's in the firm and gain a lot of respect in your ability to handle this inherent responsibility that you did not consider as a valuable element of your new position.

Knowledge or Wisdom
A management position in human resources seems to carry with it a bit more in the Wisdom Category; perhaps 'Sensible Wisdom' may be more in order. Why? Simply because of the position you choose and the authorities you are empowered with in the firm. You may find yourself in a position that even some Department heads may seek your advice and counsel, and on more than just a topic or two.

Your Most Important Reward
Can you think of what it is before reading on?

That coupled with being relied upon for so many various company concerns and interests, as well as a thorough working knowledge of all company procedures and policies, not to mention the union and labor laws that protect your own job, you will end up with the Reward of increased 'Job Security', something amiss in the BLS statistical reports put out.
