Reversology???

Life is very predictable if we look at the time frames in particular, born brought up married ....... what if it would have been the other way round. First of all we would be born old, have all the problems, and hence learn to appreciate the value of good health and sanity. Then we would become younger and see our spouse become younger too, in the process appreciate beauty (at least physical). Then we would unmarry to decrease familiarity with one and increase with many, and finally would become a child to relish things one could not have done as a grown up. Won’t we look forward for the next day and appreciate life more???

So u r leaving???????

One of my friends got a job with a leading company in her domain. She gave resignation the very next day in her present company, only to find the exit procedure much more complicated than the entry. So here goes a few lines for her organization.......... hope all the cos are listening.....
A recent article just stated that the "alumni" of an organization is becoming one of the biggest assets it has, gone are the days when the person leaving the organization would leave with much resentment towards the organization, and the person was treated as an imposter. The organizations are much more concerned of the image these employees would take into the market, and what would be the long term implications of sending off an employee unsatisfied. The employees too nowadays look for organizations that don't only employ them but make them "employable".

Most of the organizations that fail in the long run mostly cringe about the fact that some employee is leaving, rather than finding out the reason for his/her decision. It is said that success is not much of an experience because when you succeed you don’t know what could have gone wrong, but failure is an experience because you actually know what went wrong.
Its high time many organizations start having a culture which is not only a result of the few top managers, but what the organization wants to portray. Many times different departments have different cultures in an organization, which defies the concept of an organization itself.

The Human Resource department previously considered as a liability is becoming one of the most important departments in the organizations today because it is not only an entry point but also the exit for the employees. A good HR department is required to work throughout and no only at the time of recruitments and appraisals. The relationship with an employee is not only related to "money" nowadays and has many other inputs which normally are ignored by the HR department and the organization leading to higher attrition.
