1 They are responsible for maintaining policies and values of the organisation

RAMESH KANDADAI  |  Supported idea  "They are responsible for maintaining policies and values of the organisation"  |  2 years ago
While they should be responsible for maintaining policies and values, they should also have a overall culture and ethics - this is what i want the organization to be kind of definition - put inplace by the board.  There should also be a...

Esha Johar  |  Supported idea  "Favouritism"  |  2 years ago
Hi Sahana good idea I support you. This is one of the most commonly seen unethical practices in most of the corporates. This we can mostly see between the employees and employer. When an employee is more friendly with the employer he will do...
Arun Murali  |  Supported idea  "nobody can stop that"  |  2 years ago
I Agree too. The worst part is there is no HR practices to check this. Its a big problem when there is single line of management over the new matrix method.
Arunangshu Choudhury  |  Supported idea  " Employees faking work"  |  2 years ago
It is true.Faking degrees and experience is quite rampant now a days.I read somewhere that the C.F.O of ENRON got his job on the basis of a fake degree.Such people have have no qualms about indulging in corrupt practices and fraud as was proved.

RAMESH KANDADAI  |  Argues in support of  "Should with company ethics & policy"  |  2 years ago
Ethics is a fundamental policy. There should be common ethical values which form the backbone of the functioning of an organization. It is not possible to have seperate ethics for each functionality in an organization. Ethics and code of conduct...

i completely agree with u sir, but without the having there own values ethics the person cannot grow in his life, and cannot lead his team
Kannan  |  Argues in support of  "Should with HR ethics & principle"  |  2 years ago
I do not see any way a company can go against law i.e. have ethcics that are against laws of the land. It is the responsibility of each HR employee to know the laws and not go against laws. Implicit fear or coercion to violate the law cannot be...

I don't think those who are taking the oath will keep it in the mind forever. There is no use in this. Even doctors are taking oath? Do all the doctors are following this. What about politicians?

I totally agree this would be good, and effective to some degree, however, with so many disappointments in the past I've grown somewhat apathetic towards "Oaths".

As the saying goes, “everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die”. Applying this ratio to the corporate scenario, it can be aptly said that climbing up the corporate ladder really calls for a home-work from one’s side and this discreetly commences with building up good ethics at workplace. A successful manager or a leader is not the one who can run business profitably rather it’s the ethical vision that drives the success of any business in the long run. Let’s exemplify this fact by deliberating on the Satyam fiasco. The company which won the esteemed Golden Peacock award for its clear transparency later faced the repercussions owing to lack of work ethics of Mr. Ramalinga Raju...

Yes. Certainly. Among the ethics, integrity and transperancy takes the top places.

The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mood of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change in form without being disappointed by the change. For happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up.

The other day I was in a restaurant and saw a sign advertising "Sliders Fridays." From what I gathered, they offered a deep discount on tiny hamburgers, called sliders, on Friday nights. The interesting thing about this discovery is that I own the restaurant and it's the first I knew of it. (Stacey's at Waterford:  www.eatatstaceys.com ) I don't just own the restaurant. I also manage it, although I use that term loosely. I've taken the concept of hands-off management to the next level. Most of the time I have no idea what the staff is up to. They organize customer events, execute marketing ideas, hire and fire, change the menu, and pretty much anything else they want. I only get involved if there is a largish expense that needs to be approved. I see the financials daily, by e-mail, but I'm mostly about the bottom line. As a well-known critic of managers, I painted a big red bulls eye on my back when I started managing the restaurant. For the first year I was involved in the details...

  This is an ‘untold story’ from Mahabharat, published in a Sanskrit Magazine, many years ago. My father used to read it out to me and translate into my mother tongue. It goes like this: Duryodhan is lying in the battle field, awaiting death, badly bruised by the wounds inflicted by Bhima. He kept his three fingers in a raised position and is unable to speak. All the efforts made by his men to understand the meaning proved to be futile. Seeing his plight Krishna approached him and said “I know what issues occupied your mind. I will address them”. He clarified that the issues are a)      not building a fort around his capital city, b)      not persuading Vidur to participate in the battle c)      not making Aswathama as commander-in-chief after the death of Dronacharya. Krishna explained further that (a) Assuming that you built a fort, I would have asked Nakul to mount the horse and destroy the fort, (b) If you succeeded in persuading Vidur to participate in the battle, I would have...
