About "The Growing Threat To Our Employee Relations Climate" topic:

Organizations argue that the HR-oriented practices and people philosophies of today’s organisations have ensured a sound climate of engagement and that, as a result, there are no real Employee Relation risks. But in the last few months, we have seen a sharp surge in worker protests in plants across the country including some violent actions too. The sporadic work stoppages and protests by BPO workers, the on-line protests by young engineers not hired as per promise and the recent protests by some of the airline employees are all symptoms of a looming Employee Relations crisis.

In this topic, let us identify and discuss what top issues and concerns are in the area of employee relations.

Vishnu Deshmukh  |  Supported idea  "Lack of Dependability"  |  2 years ago
I agree with Darshana , disinterest shows by their behavior. Like employees will start giving reasons for the job assigned to them. In some area they will react like this is not my job, they refuse to support their peers. Argument with senior.

manjari jha  |  Supported idea  "Policies that companies follow today"  |  2 years ago
I agree with Gargi here.. The policies that companies follow today creates disinterest among employees. Whether it is tranparency or implementation of the policies, any glitch in the system causes unrest among people.

 This is brought by Steve Browne, HR Educator - As there is so much to cover in this, he thought to break it down to a catchy tune to remember the steps:- “ When there are people, you’ll see times       That can be disarrayed   Addressing it boldly       Should be commonplace   It gives you great direction       To handle things with grace   When you’re dealing with people       You’re going to get your fill   As you get your findings       Questions will haunt you still   They’re building and building       But get through it all    You know you will !!    Oh, the things that you will discover       Truth about the work is uncovered    What’s been going on       But you will get strong    ...

SEO or search engine optimization has become an important part of online trades in the present days. It has become very tricky over time. The largest engines are Google, MSN and Yahoo . To appear in search engines like Google, your internet site must be listed in their listings or directories. Listing any website in these search engines’ directories means that these websites exist. If the website has similar contents when compared to other websites, there are chances of a stiff competition and chances of getting placed in the first few ranks of the search result decreases. But if the website is unique in its content, then without any competition, first rank in the search result is ensured. So, one must optimize a website with unique phrases or keywords in order to get listed in the top of search results. A few years ago, to get top listed, use of META key terms were common but with the technology evolving, it has become complex and tricky to optimize. There are many methods of...

Hi Friends, Last month I had a meeting with one of my old friends, who is now VP–HR in a fairly large IT setup. He informed me that he is planning to lay off a couple of hundred people in his company, in a phased manner. What surprised me was that he mentioned that out of them around 80% are ‘difficult employees’.  I wondered aloud what was his definition of a ‘difficult employee’. What he told me was interesting and forms the basis of this post. “In every department/organization there are few people who are arrogant, demeaning (to others), insubordinate, not trustworthy, (always) cribbing and unproductive. And these employees are a huge drain for an organization in terms of wasted time, reduced productivity, inefficiency, and ultimately resulting in customer loss.” I again asked him as to why did the team, then not take precautions while hiring? He said these are traits and sometimes it is difficult to observe them during an interview. You get to know about them only from...
