Over the past one decade, attrition has become one the key problems that companies are facing globally. The war for talent is at its all-time peak. Employees leave organizations for many reasons - often unknown and contrary to what most managers would like to believe - research proves the reason is most likely not the money!

Biases Explained - Through 'Twelve Angry Men' - Learning With Films

The movie Twelve Angry Men begins with a jury of 12 men who are locked in a deliberation room to decide the fate of an 18 year old boy from the slums who is accused of murdering his father. All the evidence, on the face of it, points to the fact that the boy is indeed the murderer, and a guilty verdict would sent the boy to the gallows.

Why HR?

Why HR?

Since the time the mission MBA starts the first question aspirants ask to themselves is “Why MBA” and the first obvious answer is Money, status and better career opportunities. And then the second prominent question arises , which stream of MBA should they get into, for which they never get a very obvious answer! Mostly people are either mesmerized by the reputation of Finance or marketing or there are few others who wonder why not try HR and they really never get an answer for that (Well may be even I am searching for one). But then there are always answers for the most sought after questions. So, with whatever idea I have got after pursuing this one year in HR from certainly the best HR college in Asia , I will try to answer the question “Why HR” ?

The Importance of 'Talent' in an organization

The Importance of 'Talent' in an organization

After coming to a B-school and after surviving a sinusoidal week of Summer Placement Interviews last year, my definition of ‘talent’ has surely broadened. While earlier it only meant something that a person was good at, now I have come to realize that it means the person herself/himself as well! So much for the wonderful nuances of the English language! But does calling the employees of a company its talent, necessarily attribute that much importance to them? Well – it is both a yes and a no, and that is something that I seek to explore in this article.

Is Gamification the new best friend of HR?

Employee engagement techniques, like intranet information sites and coffee room poster campaigns have become passive these days. Gone are the days when they could hold the concentration of employees to make any impact other than wasting HR budgets. The posters have become just wallpaper.

“You’re my HR friend. Get me a Job”

The majority of the workforce considers the HR department responsible for everything wrong with their organization. An HR manager is Satan spawn, the Devil incarnate, the rotten face of unadulterated, pure evil. Your inflexible work schedule is the HR’s fault. You have too few days off because your HR hates you. Your performance appraisal got screwed because the HR didn’t like your tie. Your promotion will be stalled till the next cycle because the stingy HR isn’t ready to pay you according to the hard hours and backbreaking labour you put in. The poor workers in the factories are being oppressed because the HR doesn’t care about their welfare (this brings to mind the Manesar incident when the Maruti HR was burned alive. He was supposedly on the workers’ side too). Given all this, it’s more than a little ironic that the majority of this piece was written on Labour Day.
