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.

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.

Hi All, Came across a nice artical, thought beneficial for all HR professionals : What else does it take to K.E.E.P your employees satisfied? "People work for much more than a paycheck." Most employees are looking for common elements from the people they work for . People, regardless of position, seek a good " Relationship with their manager ", " A positive work environment ", and " Praise and recognition ". Successfully combine these three elements and implement them effectively and you have created the foundation for a great retention strategy. It is obvious that these crucial elements have little or nothing to do with compensation. Instead they remind us an important fact: People work for much more than a paycheck. People not only want their jobs to be a source of income but a source of attaining pride, professional development, enjoyment, and acknowledgment of their skills and efforts as well. With this in mind, I would like to introduce to you a retention-boosting method,...

There are some "Blind Spots", the personality traits which are obstacles to become a good leader. These are the bad habits we have, due to the lack of self-awareness or reluctant to improve. These are- Blind ambition- Has to win or "right" at all costs; competes instead of cooperates; exaggerates his/her own value and contribution; is boastful and arrogant; sees people in black-and-white terms as allies or enemies. Unrealistic goals- Sets overly ambitious, unattainable goals for the group or organisation; is unrealistic about what it takes to get jobs done. Relentless striving- Compulsively hardworking at the expense of all else in life; runs on empty; is vulnerable to bunout. Drives others- Pushes other people too hard, burning them out; micromanages and takes over instead of delegating; comes actoss as abrasive or ruthless and insensitive to the emotional harm to others. Power hungry- Seeks power fot his/her own interests, rather than the organisation's; pushes a personal agenda...

Hi Friends, I am sharing with the reviews of IBM on work culture, growth prospects salary, done by their employees. Please share your views. A Project Manager wrote: What I like about IBM: "IBM offers a very flexible working environment. In most cases, no one will ask you what time you come or go from office. Neither the logs of the swipe card will be analyzed to take some action against you in normal circumstances. In special circumstances, the company can even allow you to work from home. No blocking of internet or phones . All in all, you are "not" working in a jail. It has a wealth of knowledge..... " What I don't like about IBM: "Sometimes you feel that there are too many processes to follow. The company is so huge that it is a challenge to make people aware of existing processes. I have often seen it happening that sometimes small groups within IBM try to develop their own processes, often unaware that such a best practice already exists and can be leveraged. Ofcourses, Lou...

HAVE. No FEAR. If you were afraid of nothing, what goals would you set? What could you accomplish? What would you do if nothing scared you or made you nervous? Fear stops success. For example, a woman who wants to get married, but she is afraid of men. So she does not get married. Or she marries someone who is wrong for her, just because he does not scare her. If you want to run a business, you will fail if you are afraid of making big decisions. If you want to be a doctor, you cannot be afraid of sick people. If you want to succeed as an athlete, you cannot be afraid of hard, painful practice. Fear of anything can ruin your success: fear of rejection, fear of being excluded, fear of anger, fear of paperwork, fear of speaking to groups, fear of stating the truth, fear of asking for money, fear of responsibility, fear of being attacked, fear of looking stupid, fear of pain, fear of displeasing someone and more. With no fear in your life, what could you accomplish? The Only Way to...

Way back in 1897 William Faulkner said, “ I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among the creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of kindness and compassion .” I’m not talking about anything new here; it’s just a reminder of what we all knew and seem to have forgotten. We seem to have been taken in by the sheer pace of things around us – the violence, the economy driven work culture, the information boom, etc etc – you know them all – and the media has only added up to the pace. We need to look around us. Where have all courtesies gone ? Been to a gathering lately ? This is a wake-up call , a reminder !! We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibres connect us with our fellow human beings; and along those fibres, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects . We need to re-learn to give; so that some of us eventually receive. It's the...
