Organisation inferences with respect to its Culture, Climate and HR philosophy?

What inferences can we draw about the organization with respect to its culture, climate, and HR philosophy?

Hi Uma,

HR philosophy is not common nowadays across the world. It varies from company to company according to the culture of the organization, industrial climate (availability of workforce - many companies now become lenient to retain their workforce - especially in the textile industry).

Therefore, one HR philosophy is now felt common - retain the workforce by any means and never lose the trained ones.

Hi Anjali,

After completing my MBA, I worked in corporate for 1.5 years, and now I have joined a college as a faculty. I don't have experience in teaching, but I am eager to build a career in this field. Please guide me on how to find opportunities in teaching and how to effectively handle students. Additionally, I have a question regarding human resources (HR). Although I lack proper knowledge in HR, I am interested in teaching it. Could you suggest the easiest HR subject for me to handle?

Regards,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,

My daughter was very particular and set a goal to become a lecturer, which she achieved and worked at Sastra University, Thanjavur before she got married. It is a very honorable profession ideally suited for women. Adult training is a little more challenging than training children in schools.

Firstly, you have to maintain a balance in your relationship with the students - be friendly with them and at the same time ensure they do not cross the limit. You have to earn their moral respect and command it. Teens and adults always identify themselves with their peer group, and hence a lecturer should treat them as friends.

As suggested by me, my daughter would commence her classes with a general topic (mostly the current one) and finish the class ten minutes early to have an open house for answering questions from the students on and off the subject as well. A teacher with abundant knowledge and willingness, coupled with genuine love to share the same with the students for their benefit, will always be greatly loved by the students.

I once aspired for this job, and God has made me an NLP Trainer who takes classes even for the teaching staff in schools and colleges.

Wishing you all the best,

Anjali,

When the question is asked, you must know whether the same is asked with genuine intention (that is, to know the answer) or just to tease you. Whether the question has any relevance to the subject you handle or topic you initiated is also another point to be looked into. If you know the answer, reply, and if you don't, please appreciate the questioner and assure him/her with a smile that you will get the answer when you find out. Never indulge in condemning the student or discouraging.

All the best, dear,

Ganesh Ramachandran
