Internal Job transfer Policy (IJP)

Internal Iob transfer Policy (IJP) means selecting a candidate for a particular job within an organization. It is a recruitment process for existing employees. The idea is to provide growth & development to the existing employees by recognizing internal employees instead of hiring externally. It cannot happen for many positions but yes for few positions organizations do practice to promote their brand and building trust of the employees.

And even the company can be advantageous because the company knows all the skills and ability of that particular existing employee. And this decision of employing an existing employee through

What is diversity & inclusion?

We all deserve the opportunity to develop our skills and talents to our full potential, work in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment, be fairly rewarded and recognized for our work and have a meaningful voice on matters that affect us. Diversity means that each individual is exclusive in terms of unique traits and characteristics. It includes many factors like age, gender, race, socio-economic status, geographic factors, ethnicity, physical abilities/disabilities, religious & political beliefs and other ideologies but valuing everyone as an individual makes a productive environment in which everybody feels valued, their talents are fully utilized and organizational and personal goals are met. Whereas “Inclusion” is a distinct idea from diversity. SHRM defines inclusion as “the achievement of a work environment in which all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources and can contribute fully to the organizat

How to answer “Tell me about yourself”

We often hear this question approaching us during an interview. Many people get nervous and starts babbling around it instead of knowing that interviewer is asking a very simple question about one on-self. In fact, it is not as simple as it looks. Interviewer is not asking your personal story or life story and they have your resume as well. So why this question? What they want to know? Interviewer wants to know your communication skills, your confidence, your ability to keep engage. Interviewer wants to know how you express your experience, qualifications and why you are fit for the said opening in a nutshell. You cannot bore the interviewer by underlining out much. This question should be answered max in 3minutes. Three Tips to answer the question Give snapshot of your work history You can start by mentioning your total experience and work history from starting of your career to the current job and can menti

Performance management

Performance management is critical for an organization’s success. Employees need to understand what’s expected of them, and to achieve those goals they must be managed so that they’re motivated, have the necessary skills, resources and support, and are responsible. Performance management is the attempt to take full advantage of this value creation and ensure that employees contribute to business objectives. It should align with organizational strategy. It is majorly done to improve performance, establish goals & Objectives & hold people to account for their performance by linking it to reward, career progression and termination of contracts.

Due to Covid-19 pandemic, it has affected all our personal as well profession life. The way we used to operate has changed to meet the new normal situation. As a HR professional we have to adapt the changes and find new ways to implement HR practices. Every change comes with its pros and cons.

Is on-floor / agile meeting helpful for bringing productivity in an organization?

Image
I am working as an Assistant HR manager with an IT firm. I did observe that employees do talk internally across department but rarely discuss about the work going on currently or project progress or any cross functional training etc. To bring such things forward, I have introduced on floor agile meeting on monthly basis. This is usually to be done in morning during tea time when everyone is starting their day. The agenda of meeting is to let various team know about each other e.g: Sales team can discuss on which kind of leads they are working and in future if such projects come to us what kind of expectations would be there from technical team and certain technology updates can be shared among all. Even team can discuss their latest project experience and learning’s so that it might help another department also in certain decision making. Also, Team lead or Project manager can highlight specific achievement related to work or any team member and give appreciation in front o
