Sreekumar J Post Recession Challenges of HR Office

Attract Talent Before recession, young graduates were on a rush to get a job in IT. Now they (or their parents) are thinking twice before joining IT. Why state service selection boards are getting more applications? Why more aspirants for Non-IT sector jobs? Why parents do not prefer groom working in IT for their daughters? Why house owners are reconfirming “Are you in IT”? Answers to these will lead to the inconsistency in IT sector. So it is critical for HR to strategize plans to attra… Continue

Akanksha Yadav I Delegated Authorities, But Oh I'm Ignorant

Delegation of authority is said to be a growth path for all those subordinates whose shoulders bear the files and notes of work. For the person delegating his authority and responsibility on others, the process is a clear sign of not holding all important work to himself, and believing in his team and entrusting upon them important work and the power to make decisions. However after so much of delegation of responsibilities there are certain times and moments of oh-ah when the person himself en… Continue

Vivek S Patwardhan Violence in Industrial Relations

Is violence returning to the labour scene? That’s the question everyone is asking, one TV Channel interviewed some union officials and HR managers, including yours truly. I think the question itself is wrong, lacks basic understanding of industrial relations. But before I express my views on the subject, I must make three points: Firstly, I am not a leftist, in fact, one of the well known editors is on record saying that he considers me to be otherwise. I would like to say that I think what is… Continue

Vivek S Patwardhan The Dilemma of Compassionate Employment

I have witnessed the fire at Tarangan Complex as I stayed there with my son and his family on the fateful night. There was a fire on the 14th floor on Oct 18th morning. Six firemen got trapped in an elevator. They lost their life! [I have already blogged about this on my other blog http://vivek-uvaach.blogspot.com]. Thane Municipal Commissioner has announced a compensation of Rs. 500,000 to the family of each fireman. The Government of Maharashtra has announced a compensation of Rs. 200,000. It… Continue

Akanksha Yadav The Sweetest Sound to a Human Ear

I remember coming across one statement which I felt is so true. It said “Remember that a man’s Name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language”. Yet there are many of us who within minutes of introduction to a person forget their names, worse despite being embarrassed in all such situations, try little to possessing an elephant’s memory. And when it comes to HR folks, this is one tool that is supposed to be congenital. I have known this very efficient a HR Manager, but he… Continue

Kiran Gali What is Talent???

He was nothing less than extraordinary. It’s been more than a decade that I last saw him, and in all these years I have not come across a more talented person than him. And the best part is, he makes talent look simple, and not complicated. He topped the University in MBA and got the gold medal. He set a record of 5/5 CGPA. But strangely, I never saw him reading the books. He was early to bed. You can always find him chatting up with friends. He did not seem to have any special skills per say… Continue

Kiran Gali Interview Tips for the Hiring Manager

Well, I know Hiring Managers don't like to be coached on how to do interviewing. But I think they don't mind reading a blog and making those necessary changes... so here I go with some tips. 1. Doing Structured Interviews Often Hiring Managers do not have a structure around their interviews. When I say structure I don’t mean the sequence of questions but I am referring to more about the logic. For instance not many hiring managers know about the concept of using CAR (context, action, re… Continue
