कितना असहनीय होता है,करना                                  वैरागी से प्यार. मन हो जाता व्यथित,करता                                  सबकुछ उस पर वार. न कुछ पाने की आस,पर                                  गहरा उस पर विस्वास. जी करता है बनाऊं एक मन्दिर,                                 जिसमें सदा हो उसका वास. सुख-दुःख,पीड़ा,उल्लास बाँटू सबकुछ,पर                                  रहूँ सदा उसी के पास.                                                                                                                   [2/01/07] -Nandini g

Co-author: Bill Hall Abstract Big changes are happening in today’s workforce. These changes have nothing to do with downsizing, global competition, or stress; it is the problem of a distinct generation gap. Young people entering the workforce are of diversified background and have much different attitudes about work. They want a life‐work balance. They want to be led, not managed — and certainly not micro‐managed. The new mode is flexibility and informality. A large proportion of our managers of the veteran era have been trained in relatively autocratic and directive methods that don’t sit well with today’s employees. Are we preparing our workforce to meet tomorrow’s need? Why do so many Re...

The average age of working population is around 36 which makes it clear that people between age group 18 to 60 all are working. There are call centers where youth is seen even the school students to retired professionals earn there pocket money here. Then there is a quite serious about the career age group, 23-30, they work hard to get promotions ,to survive and to get other incentives because they are at the peak of their potentials. Now comes the bosses who might have or might have not crossed the wrong side of 30. they are the boss and they know what they want. In society where various age groups are working there can be clash of ideas between gen X, gen Y and upcoming gen Z. Multi-generations at work can be productive and at times it may lead to mind war. The X generation might believe in there old principles while Y generation may...

Content marketing is undoubtedly one of the hot digital marketing terms of 2012, but there’s far more to identifying—and implementing—a successful  content strategy  than simply creating content. In fact, when considering the components of creating a content marketing strategy, writing is the easy part of the equation. In today’s increasingly crowded content marketplace, your brand needs to know how to not only  create and   implement  a content strategy that will help you achieve your pre-determined goals, but also how to  develop content  that will also help you stand out in the stream. During a recent  Marketing Cloud  webinar,  The Altimeter Group’s   Charlene Li  and  Rebecca Lieb  discussed “ Winning Content Marketing Strategies: Rebalance Your Organization to Deliver Effective Content .” At the centerpiece of the webinar was a recent study conducted by Rebecca with Zack Kirchner and Jaimy Szymanski. “ Content: The New Marketing Equation ” features input from 56 ecosystem...

  An old man, staying in a small south Indian town came to visit his son in Bombay recently. The son in his early thirties is a successful businessman living with his wife and son. The father, having spent most of his life at his birthplace, hardly understands a splatter of Hindi or English, forget Marathi. But he doesn't care. 'I have come here to spend a few days with my son and his family. I don't have to go out and socialize with the city people,' he said. But the son is very excited about his father's rare visit to Bombay. He wants to make the best of it. He and his wife want to show him around the city. And yes, the son enjoys those evening hours too, when  he and his father go out and sit in a good bar, sipping their favorite  drink. Last week he was in a very good mood. 'Let's go to a five star hotel's bar tonight,' he told his father. It was a beautiful evening. Talking about everything under the sun they had a few drinks. As usual they were offered some salad, peanuts,...

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,...
