Learning Terms

Holding on a grip to the HR learning and implementing it in the future, it becomes really necessary to get to know about a few terms which are prevalent in its context. Some of them tat I would share having learnt it recently are:

  • Temping: This term is a combination of "temporary staffing". Organizations use temporary staffing when they hire people for a specific project or a contract. This mwthod may also to useful in reducing costs than having permanent staff.
  • HR Policy: The HR policy of the company is the window to the organization's culture and those who wish to join tat organization would be interested in knowing the working culture. It includes all the policies, structure etc that the org employs for its members.
  • Transfer of learning: It is the study of the dependency of human conduct on prior experience. It explored how individuals would transfer their learning from one context to another which have similar characteristics.
  • Quality Work Life(QWL): It emphasizes on quality wok life balance a person has. As a person needs incentives and benefits at his work place, same way a quality personal life needs are to be satisfied too.
This are few terminologies i had recently learnt. Would like if get to know more of these from the readers.

Relationship Management

Ever had a distinctive feeling between the managers and you being a junior? Well this is a type of relationship which differentiates everyone in the organization in terms of experience, the position held. One of the learning that i hold back in me primarily from my internship is that the people working in that organization are all referred to as "members" and not employees or employer. This clearly indicated that though there are different positions held by the people in the company, they are all equally connected.

In this context there is a term DYAD relationship, which means the relationship that exists between two members of different levels in an organization. Wikipedia defines DYAD as "a noun used to describe a group of two people. "Dyadic" is an adjective used to describe this type of communication/interaction". As the relationship gets stronger between people of various hierarchies, this would help member engagement to strengthen, which in turn leads to the overall growth.

An Introduction

With the inception of my new blog "The HR Way", I want to bring in various dimensions of HR, highlight on the up comings in the field of human resources management, and also on how HR in its on way is very essential and crucial in today's world. Today HR management is as difficult as other operations like finance, marketing, etc. To retain an excellent talent in the organization is more difficult than acquiring one.

The talent management as it is closely associated with managing the existing talent in the industry is very essential for the growth of any organization. Hence accounting for this human resource is the need of the hour. With the wave of layoffs taking place in the past one hour creating chaos and uncertainty in each ones mind, let us understand the fact of holding people for their career growth by building up the morale.

As a start off, in my initial blogs I would throw light on managing the people in the organization and retaining them.
