How
effective are electronic policy manuals?
Clearly
written policies that are regularly reviewed, can be an effective
HR management tool and a good defense against employee lawsuits,

Why
you must stand out to gain recruiters’ attention‘I
am
The
best way to get a headhunter’s attention is to let him chase you.
‘I
am special, and so are you’
Undue
emphasis on self-esteem leads to blindly pumping yourself up. True
self-esteem is built up gradually layer by layer taking pride in
real accomplishment, say Steven J Stein and Howard E Book
Old
patterns are not necessarily reliable
It
is important to consider the compatibility of an existing system
with a new one and implement the one that is best suited, rather
than following an existing approach, says Dr R Srinivasan
‘Call
centre jobs are not monotonous’
With
India emerging as the call centre capital of the CRM world, many
MNCs and start-ups are setting up operations here.
