Dear Sameer
Greetings!
In addition to Lavanya, My inputs on QC
The quality circle is a small group of employees who voluntarily meet at regular times to identify, analyze and solve quality and other problems in their work areas. Normally members of a particular QC come from the same workshop who face and share similar problems in their daily work life. Ideally, the group size should be seven or eight to give enough time to each member to actively participate and contribute in each meeting.
The benefits gained through QC activities are
increase in quality consciousness of employees
development of an attitude of problem prevention
promotion of employee motivation
improvement in the human relations
more effective company communication
more active job involvement
utilization of employee problem solving capabilities
contribution to personal development of employees
encouragement of teamwork,br> improvement of work environment
development of safety awareness
control and improvement of quality
productivity improvement
increased job security
QC activities are voluntarily carried out as part of company-wide quality control. The basic idea behind these activities is as follows:
I. Contribute to the excellence in quality,
II. Respect humanity and make work life more enjoyable,
III. Sharpen human capabilities and utilize the available brainpower.

Hi Everybody
Good going !
Credit Unions:
Credit union is an employee benefit Strategy.
Credit unions are financial institutions that is owned by its members. It can be viewed as non profit organisation charged for making profit for the members.
Savings in a credit union are usually known as shares, in that they represent ownership.
By the way of credit union employees can save at high divident rates and can borrow at low interest rate. these rates are governed by the members of the Board (elected by the members) . Credit unions also offer the convenience of payroll deductions for both savings and repayment of loan.
Pls correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks Preet and John
I don't have deep understanding of this subject so posting whatever i know. i request other members to correct me at any point if i'm wrong.
Lie detector Test : Lie detector test is also known as polygraph and the use of this is governed by Employee Polygraph Protection Act.
In general, an employer cannot require or even suggest that an employee or prospective employee take a polygraph test. The only exception is for investigations involving economic loss or injury to the employer’s business. The employee has the right to terminate the test at any time.
This can be used in Pre employment Honesty test for right hiring.

The answer for my questions are
1. Credit Union:
Credit union affiliation is an easy and inexpensive way for employers to assist their employees with financial problems without becoming directly involved. The stress caused by such problems results in absences, accidents, and poor performance. The financial services offered by credit unions can help solve these problems, often at better rates than other institutions.
2. Lie Detector Tests:
The law defines a "lie detector" as any mechanical or electrical device that is used to render a diagnostic opinion about the honesty or dishonesty of an individual. The definition includes polygraphs, deceptographs, voice stress analyzers, psychological stress evaluators, and similar devices. Although most employers are prohibited by federal law from requiring employees to submit to lie detector tests, there are certain exceptions for public employees, government contractors, certain security personnel and drug company employees, as well as theft and industrial espionage investigations, if certain steps are taken.

Hi Revathi, You need to post the next question within 1PM to avoid wasting one day in updating our knowledge. Preet

Hi All,
Really wasted our one precious day without posting any question. I request John to continue with the next question. Till he posts the next question, just enjoy the wonderful article about existence of god.
No God or Know God?
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good ?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God.. .
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer. )
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat,
But we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.
Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't.
If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable. )
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving & alive..................

Hi All,
Put in your comments on above article on existence of god.
Really I wonder, how this topic took it so much importance and people are enhancing their knowledge on HR. Within a period of 1.5 months time from the date it has been started, the total views are 10000 + and 310 + replies. I think no other topic got such good response within a short span of time. Though only few people are with the real interest playing the game, but many people are updating their knowledge. I am greatful to the people who are posting the questions on different HR aspects. I request all to join us and play the game to update your knowledge.
