A different HR initiative

Birthdays….birthdays. These days mean different things when we grow.

It will be a wonderful practice if the birthday’s of your employees is celebrated in a different style at your work place.

When it’s employee’s birthday, apart from a traditional wishes, take opportunity to speak about all their positive qualities, character traits that we lookup to, what we have learnt from them, where we have seen them grow as a human being and what the relationship means to us……..a relieving of special moments shared.

At the end of it ,that person also gets to express his /her feelings about the year that has gone by and what he /she is looking at in the coming year.

What better gift than one that stays ‘in’ the person-in his /her mind and heart?

Such gesture does wonders for one’s self-image.

Try and see the results.

If already tried, share your experience.

Thanks for the Tip Bharathi :) Job enrichment usually fill color in the monotonous routine and can be mutually beneficial from employee and employer prospective.
@Ravi....this is a Tip. Time, place and need of applicability may differ as per the Situation.
Like...If some one gives u a Tip to loose wait but u are under wait, so u will not apply that tip, that doesn't mean that Tip is null and void. it is just situation is not demanding applicability. ;) :) Good Day :)

HR Tip of the Day: COMMUNICATION : Don’t send important messages by short e-mail. At the very least write a well thought through message and put it in an attachment that has been tested for comprehension. Ask another person to read it to check for comprehension. Of course, the best method of communication has been with us for thousands of years, is free, and should be used more frequently: in person, face-to-face communication.

Well said Bharathi.
There is no other best alternative to face to face communication. That's the reason nowadays, video conferencing is become inescapable.
Keep on spreading knowledge Bharathi.

Good Noon Bharathi and Bhashkar :)
GOod One Bharathi....Communication is very important and is main ingredients of Personal, professional and Organization Growth. So we must choose the right way to avoid any barrier to communication.

Good one B.Maru and thanks for sharing a nice message on communication.
In my opinion communication should be like a blood circulation in our body in the matters of continuity and coverage.
Communication is the life-blood of organisatin and even in maintaining relationship.
A personal 'note' is worth more than million emails as it carry our soul.
@Bhaskar: I appreciate your continuos support to this great thread.Keep on posting.
@Viku: Nice to see your message about communication. You have added another 'jewel' to this thread. Keep on sharing.
For all: Have a great week end.

HR TIP OF THE DAY: Group think:If you are a team member, and particularly if you are a team leader, look out for the symptoms of groupthink. Take the lead in making it safe to have a diversity of opinions and establish a safe environment in which it is ok to hold open discussions about issues at team meetings. Taking this approach the team will be much more likely to make the right choices and avoid falling into the groupthink trap.

HR Tip of the Day: Enforce strict "Absence"procedures In order to deal effectively with absenteeism, staff should be very clear about the company policy. A staff handbook is an ideal way to state policies clearly. Areas such as holidays, sickness and absenteeism should be included and clearly outlined.

Please accept my sincere salute on Teachers Day.
HR Tip Staff Handbook : In addition to Holidays, Leave entitlement, Sickness, Absent, Overstayal of Leave, we must add Dress Code, Discipline Policy, Redressal of Grievance Procedure, Open Interview System & Company Work Hours.
Thanks for sharing nice Tips Bharathi. Keep on sharing the Knowledge.

HR Tip Of the Day:With Teams, Size Matters: If you are problem solving or brain storming ideas, more group members is probably better than less. In fact, about 12 is ideal. If you want to get things accomplished, limit the team to six or seven people. This size of the team will probably act faster and put in more effort in to accomplishing the task.
