GOT LAID-OFF?, YOU STILL HAVE THE OPPURTUNITY

Even after getting laid-off, you need have to lose your hope. Why? Just have a look at this video.

JUST AN EXCUSE

Have you ever come across a situation, where a person has done something to you, and then have said sorry? I guess a lot of times. Right?

There are some people who are having a habit of saying sorry, or presenting excuses after everything they do. It will not be true for the person, who is having a bad fate, where whatever he does becomes wrong for the others. But, many a time people are not able to understand what is the reality.

Why people excuse after doing anything? I am not targeting everyone here, I am just talking about those people who are habitual of it with having fate with them. There will be only one thing which we can think about these kind of persons -

"THE PERSON IS DOING ONLY THAT, WHICH HE/SHE WANTS TO DO"

So, next time, when you come across such a people, please use your Brain, and try to find out whether the thing which was done, was intentionally done or not.

INTELLIGENT THINKER

I have came across so many people who feel that they are very intelligent, and even the people around them feel that they are intelligent. Majority of us are having a perception that intelligent people really rock the world. But, what do we really mean by Intelligence?

Wikipedia says, "Intelligence is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn."

In other terms, we can define Intelligence as the power and potential of the Brain. Even Edward de Bono stated in one of his books on thinking, that intelligence has nothing to do with the what you think. Intelligence and Thinking are not interconnected in any ways.

Having only the power and potential of the Brain to do anything does not gives you a great idea. It is all depended on the efforts which you put to use that power to convert into a useful thinking. It is only because of this reason that many times an intelligent person may not be able to think properly, whereas a person who is not that much intelligent can think of a great plan. The only matters here is your ability to use what you posses.

"Don't consider yourself Intelligent, till you have the ability to use it."

Tensionless Pension

A worker starts his life with a dream of getting a secured job. His this dream gets fulfilled when he gets a job in a PSU. Earning Rs. 1,512 a month makes him feel like he is on cloud 9. But things do not end here. With a dedicated servive of more than 40 years, he reaches a figure of Rs. 5,308 per month.

By that time, this worker is blessed with an old counter-part, 2 sons, 2 daughter-in-laws, and few grandchildren. The daily wish-list of the grandchildren for toys, the unstoppable medical bills, and other regular household expenditure force him to think, think about the future ahead, that is future with a sum of Rs. 5,308, or even the lesser amount of pension.

According a recent survey on Indian household, 67% of the parents are not being taken care of by their successors. So, the real challenge that comes to these workers is - "How to live rest of the life?"

Thanks to the Indian Government, and that too AICGPA (All India Central Government Pensioners’ Association. With the implementation of the sixth Central Pay Commission Report, the worker are getting their pension which is more than that of the salary which was being paid to them. The worker who used to earn Rs. 3,607 as salary, is now getting Rs. 15,000 as his pension. This pension is also liable to increase with every five years.

This has definitely put these workers out of the tensions. Now, they are buying some extra toys, having proper diets, and keeping care of their health. This has brought them -

- Freedom from fear
- Freedom from anxiety
- Freedom from unnecessary tensions
- Freedom to be self
- Freedom to live

Employee Poaching

Employee Poaching can simply be defined as going after the other company's employees. Though poaching is illegal, still many companies are practicing it. The reason being getting the finest of the employees. Google and Apple were not exceptions.

Few years back, these two giants decided to have a non-poaching agreement, where Google will not go after Apple's employees, and Vice-versa. This is not a written agreement and is considered non-official, but they implemented in such a way that the recruitment divisions of both the companies follow it.

The questions arises here is this that whether employee poaching is ethical or unethical? Well, as the ethics can be universally defined, so this will always be a question.

ETHICAL : There is an obvious points here, i.e., employees in this case will be a sandwich. The Google employee who want to work in Apple, will not be successful in the same, no matter how interested he is.

The other aspect can be the employee's right to free access to the market. Though poaching is beneficial for an organization, but it is not for an employee. The employee's KSA may be worth appreciation and a comparatively better job at a better place.

UNETHICAL : The current employee working on a important project has received a good offer for job from other company. The employee decided to leave the current organization for better opportunities. What will happen to the current organization in this case? Obviously, it can not have a immediate hire.



Solutions for Employee Poaching:

1. It is only due to this that organizations have started a BOND SIGNATURE rule, where a contract is being signed between the employee and the employer for a fixed period of time.

2. Including the non-compete clause in the employment contract.

3. Charging high amount if the employee breaks the contract.


There are many other solutions which varies from companies to companies, but the dilemma will always be there about the ethics question.

Invisible HR

Great HR is invisible, but it is everywhere. HR is where the business operates, innovates a new product, or in service and growth of the company. Great HR is invisible because Great HR people like it that way.

Have you ever heard of any company who had come up with its HR? I guess, not many. And you know, why? Because, business is not about HR but HR is about business. HR people know very well their reason for existence. They are behind the success of every manager and employee. They are behind every emerging leader. They are behind every clap of the stakeholders for the company. They are behind every single price increase of the share.

HR is performing backstage. They are getting the right people, training them, appraising their performance, rewarding them, and helping company to find talent to win. But when all these things happens, HR people do not get any credit for anything they do. So, if you want to be center stage, stay out of HR. They are the people who enjoy when others enjoy.

Hindi Awareness League

I know you all must be thinking that I must have joined NGO or some party. Believe me, I haven’t. But suddenly, why are we talking about our National Language HINDI. Honestly speaking, I respect HINDI a lot. And the reason is its existence till now. Every year crores of rupees is being spent for the HINDI AWARENESS programs, most of which is going to a place that you all know (For all those who have not understood – its pocket). I have no enmity to any of those event handlers.

I am doing my internship in Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Bangalore (India). I know one of the senior officers of HAL, who is also my inspiration. Few days back, he asked me whether I know HINDI or not. I replied positively. Then, he gave me two pieces of papers full of HINDI. Those sheets were in SHUDHHA HINDI (pure HINDI). Some of the words were bouncers, and many were understandable. I finished reading that, and asked him what they were for. He told me that the article was written for posting it into the HAL magazine. I was really very surprised to know that because many of the employees don’t even know HINDI.

After investigating a little, I came to know that HAL is a strong player of HINDI AWARENESS LEAGUE (don’t take this a national program, I call it like that), which is trying its best to save HINDI. Though it is being imposed on HAL by GoI (Government of India), but still it is worth appreciation.

In the era, where majority of the Indians feel ashamed of speaking or writing in HINDI, there are some true Indians who are trying their best for its awareness. I have heard many names like Kalidas, Kabir, Bachhan, Prem Chand, etc., but it is very good to hear new names also.

My special request to all INDIANS to save our language. We have made HINDI. Why should we follow always? Get ready to lead.

PROMOTE OUR HINDI, PROMOTE OUR NATION!!!

JAI HIND!!!


p.s. : If you want me to write this post in HINDI, I am ready to write but that can be a bouncer for you.
This post is only to promote INDIAN NATIONAL LANGUAGE: HINDI, my special apologies to other nations other than India.
