Hi Everybody,
I am sure you are all wanting to know how the CiteHr-Get together at Bangalore went on! is it not? How many people attended? What were the deliberations that took place? Can have a look at the people whom you know only by name through photographs.....etc.,
Well, first let me tell you all ....no's and not's! Disappointed! Well , good will follow the bad, always. Light after the Dark, is it not?
All together, 25 citehr forum members confirmed their participation in this informal meet held today i.e., 10 Sept 2006 at Karnataka Badminton Association. Unfortunately, the weather God played the spoil sport! There were heavy showers in Bangalore in the evening. So, hold your breath.......! 12 members attended the informal chat daring the weather God! Great! is it not!?
As regards the photograps....oh! sorry friends, you have to wait for some more time to see the charming faces of the members at Bangalore! I assure you, you will feel happy seeing them after sometime!
The meet was attended by Rajaram, Kurian, Sidheshwar, Rekha, Ramya, Deepti, Bharathi, Kiran Kumar, Shubha, Amruth, Somu Shekar and of course me, Srinaren!
The meet was kick started by welcoming the gathering by Srinaren, briefly explaining the idea behind organising this meet. This was followed by self introduction of the participants.
Later on, Rajaram told the gathering that there are many forums of HR professionals but we have to make this forum from citehr differently! This was very well received by the members who agreed that the meet should be different and useful. In this discussion, Srinaren, Kurian, Amruth, Praveen, Shubha, Rekha, Ramya, Siddeshwar participated actively.
Then, the members shared their experiences, views and the present scenario of HR. Initially, HR was called as Labour Officer, then became Personnel Officer and now Human Resources Officer. Kurian felt that we should not call Human Resources, because he felt that Resources is connected with manufacture . A seperate post will be appearing shortly regarding this line of thinking! Please do await for it from Siddeshwar.
It was decided to meet 2nd Sunday of every month. The meet will have an agenda which will be notified well in advance and there will be deliberations on that subject. The members felt that this way, many problems can be discussed and the solutions can be obtained from the senior members. Everybody can come out with their experiences, views and suggestions on the specified subject. This was well accepted by all the members of the meet.
All members felt that the attendance should improve and they all assured they will recommend their friends to become citehr members and attend these monthly meetings.
We all had light refreshments, thanks to Rajaram, who hosted this meet.
The informal meet ended with a formal thanks giving by Srinaren.
