The commitment to contribute to social well being and ensure no adverse effects of the company on the community around you must come from deep within and must be holistically developed by first becoming a responsible employer, honest tax payer and a compliant entity.
Persistent rainfall for three days had transformed the brown velvet into green in the interiors of Sangareddy District, Telangana that I was travelling through with my colleagues. We were visiting some of the Anganwadi Centres (Early Childhood Centres) that we are working with. The roads were narrow but of good quality, looked recently asphalted with white lines painted on the boarders.
The green cover along the road was punctuated by large buildings on both sides of the roads that looked like factories. My colleagues informed me that some of them were pharmaceutical factories, some chemical industries, and a few breweries - manufacturing beer of reputed brands. Somehow, the land around them either looked barren, brown or less green, and, stood out like a sore thumb. Subsequent discussions brought home the fact that the effluent water, other waste and gases dumped by some of those factories had rendered the land around them fairly unusable. In addition, the bore wells and agricultural land too had gotten adversely affected. The gases emitted were affecting people, causing them respiratory problems. It reminded me of Bellandur Lake and Varthur Lake back at my home town Bengaluru, regularly foaming and occasionally catching fire due to the hazardous chemicals released from the factories around the lakes. The authorities in Bengaluru were aware of all the factories releasing such substances in the lakes, and yet, the bureaucrats were taking no stern action against these criminal industrialists.

Continuous Learning For Growth
Of late, for organizations particularly in the service sector, people have become the strategy. And, if that is the case, the Learning and Development (L&D) department in organizations, and the industry in general, is likely to witness significant growth in 2017 and the years thereafter.
Creating Open Spaces And Minds
As the boundaries of life between work and home continue to blur, employers and employees are sitting up and are noticing the ways and means to offer and avail a worthwhile experience at the workplace.
Striking The Right Balance
In 2017, an employee in the HR Department of a leading global company received an excel sheet attachment in his official mail. While the content seemed harmless, it was in fact a well disguised Ransomware attack which had in fact placed several companies worldwide in the dock. Ransomware attacks targeting HR departments across the globe have since been in vogue since they possess valuable employee data which can be used to commit crimes such as tax frauds and the like.
The Multifaceted Advantages Of AI
AI can speed and automate data collection, make fundamental observations, systemize HR issues, and differentiate customer and employee profiles. But, corrective measures and final decisions can only be approved by people who can understand how to leverage AI tools to acquire accurate information sans the noise and interpret them the right way.
Engagement Surveys: A Means Or An End?
Surveys are not merely a way to check the pulse of the organisation; they should ideally be used as vehicles to improve the organisation culture, people practices and employee experiences which gradually translate into business success.
What Is And What Needs!
The idea of the best fit works only in a perfect universe. In reality, what talent specialists and hiring managers should focus on is getting the close fitment. They should work with an approach that bridges the gap between what is (available) and what needs to be (done).
A Matter Of Strategic Timing!
The term 'work-life balance' has become a popular chant for all working professionals today. A world of different opinions continue to pervade our lives, with one actually affirming that there truly is no direct relationship between the parallel worlds we live in.
Picture Out Of The Frame
A few months ago, Moon Jae-in, the President of South Korea, made an unusual announcement.

How Can They Fire Her?
It is a common phenomenon in the corporate landscape to misinterpret the inability to respond to a query by a Manager as a serious lapse which at times leads to termination of his/her services. As a fallout, not only do they risk losing out a person with superior managerial skills, they also dampen the spirit of the juniors in her department, leading to sinking morale and reduced engagement.
