Banco Austral: A privatização e o seu impacto nos recursos humanos

Abstract

Human resources management gains relevance in the life of companies since any change towards modernization necessarily goes through a change in people. People are the most important asset in an organization, because even if an institution has financial means, high technologies, but if it doesn't have trained personnel, trained to develop a certain type of work, and above all motivated and with a profile of skills for the future, the objectives of the institution will be a total failure. The main reason for this paper is to present some results related to the study conducted at the Austral Bank on "Privatization and its impact on Human Resources". The study found that the privatization of the Austral Bank brought positive aspects regarding significant changes in banking transactions that allow better service delivery to customers. However, with regard to the workforce reduction strategy it was only successful after the involvement of unions, line managers and employees in the reform process. The study later found that the focus was more on the people to be rationalized, thus neglecting the "sobrevivehtes" on whom the success of the organization depends and most of whom are frustrated and low motivated.
