An Act of good deed…

While recruiting for a position a couple days ago, came across a strange candidate. I discussed about the profile and his interest level with the candidate (whom I’ll name Mr. X here) and got a positive response from him. So next day, I tried calling him again to communicate his interview schedule to him. Well, the number on which I had contacted him very strangely was answered by some another guy and he got harassed with me and repeatedly screamed wrong number. But I being an aggressive recruiter would not want to lose him. So I decided to try the 2 alternate numbers written on his CV (Thank God for that!)

So now, while the other mobile number temporarily did not exist, the landline number was finally answered. Seeing some hope of getting a number to reach Mr. X, I started conversation with the lady on the other side, who I found was the aunt of Mr. X. The lady learnt that I had spoken to Mr. X just a day before. And then came the twist in the story; instead of providing a number to reach him (which she did not have) she requested Mr. X’s number from me. Well she sounded quite distressed, so I asked her what was the issue. Had a selfish interest too of knowing where exactly Mr. X was. So I understood from her that Mr. X lived with this aunt in Pune and was absconding since the last 15-20 days!! And the poor aunt did not know where to get a clue of his whereabouts from. After consoling her that I would definitely tell her if I got in touch with him, I cursed Mr. X and disconnected the call.

However, believe me I’m really aggressive when it comes to recruiting. With a little amusement and curiosity about what I had just witnessed about an absconding candidate, I was reflecting on this; when it struck to me that I must check his contact details on the portal too. And what my experience has taught me, I was right. The number on his CV and number on the portal were altogether different. So hoping to get in touch with him I dialed, and YES! I got him. Well this guy seemed to have settled in Thane (Mumbai) and was working there. (this critical information was hidden from me, when I spoke the earlier day). Well, all my efforts to reach him were now in vain, as I wanted someone from Pune.

But this did not end for me here….. I was disturbed yet with the worried aunt of Mr. X and thought of doing a good deed. So I called this aunt of Mr. X and shared the contact details of the latter. Obviously conniving that she does not reveal the identity of who has given her the number. Now I definitely did not want to get into their personal matters. And the point of writing this ‘No Big Deal’ story is that…………… ‘HOW GOOD DID I FEEL DOING THIS!!!’ I was delighted that I had done a tiny-bit act of goodness. I was happy that I helped someone in whatever small way I could. Getting a little filmy here, I would say I was happy that I played a small role in reuniting the aunt with her relative!

And when you come to think of it….. ‘How many such instances does one remember, where one has tried going out of the way to help someone?’ In my entire life till date, I think I can really count such instances on my fingers. Not many….ya!

I remember once helping a blind man (who had by mistake entered into a ladies compartment of a local train in Mumbai), and was really helpless and dint know what to do. While many fellow ladies just stared at him with pity, no one stepped further to help him. He was pushed and dodged from this side to that, and finally when I couldn’t bear to see his plight, I asked him which station he would get off at, managed to create a seat for him so that he was no longer tortured, and got him off at his destination. And I felt the same like I had now felt helping this aunt of Mr. X.

Coming to talk of trains….how many times have we sacrificed and offered our seat to old men and women? How many times have we helped ease the burden of a lady in our neighborhood, who with great difficulty is carrying heavy bags of groceries for her family? I am sure we all feel empathy for the one who is in need of help, but we all hesitate to come forward and do an act of good deed. We hesitate, because we think we are busy in our lives and do not have time. We hesitate because we think, we ourselves are too troubled to offer any help to others. We empathize, but…….. we ‘think’! And when we think, we rationalize. And good deeds do not happen after rationalization. It should just come straight from the heart, impromptu… without speculating about the consequences. Compassion …. That’s the key!

Let’s all strive to make each day a “Good Deeds Day” and touch the lives of others to spread smiles and joy!!

HR . . . A Friend in Need OR A Friend Indeed ! ?

Where employees see HR personnel as a devil’s advocate (devil refers to management here), and management presumes HR to serve them as an advisory, HR is always expected to play with this double – edged sword effectively. And here comes the most difficult role of walking along the tight rope of managing expectations. This funambulism does not come easy to all, and needs to be acquired/developed. However amidst all this, HR feels trapped in a dilemma whether to be sociable with the employees, or to always keep the ‘professional’ approach in dealing with the staff.

There are 2 perspectives to this theory: (a) The HR Angle (b) The Employee Angle. We shall look at both from the HR point of view here.

Let’s first take the HR personnel’s angle. First and foremost argument I would like to make here is that “HR Personnel are people too.” They too are individuals who seek a confidante amongst people with whom they spend 8-9 hours in a day. HR people too are individuals who walk in with emotions much alike any other employee.

But again, they have a job to do, of ensuring discipline and managing conflicting-interest situations. They have no option but to fear such predicament, because a true HR professional should not be affected by personal biases and prejudices. Better safe than sorry! You undertake a risk of being misquoted, as what you have said or done in personal capacity or as a joke might be perceived as an act by an “HR” of the organisation.

However, it is also necessary to keep yourself approachable, since employees need to feel free to talk about their issues to the HR. Most of the times, what they just require is a good listener. Also, it helps HR understand the culture and systems prevalent in the organisation. It thus becomes imperative for an HR professional to be able to clearly distinguish between personal and professional effects in a relationship. If one cannot do so, he/she must refrain from friendships on a personal level with the colleagues. It is essential to understand that organisational commitments have precedence over personal bias.

Looking at this from an Employee’s Perspective, where some people fear coming in close quarters with HR, some employees purposefully connect with you. Very starkly, we can see employees being very conscious of what they say/do when HR is around. You find them abruptly changing the topic of conversations, or hush when HR unexpectedly appears in the scene; may be because they feel that HR is always judgemental.

Often, ‘being friends’ with the HR is seen as an option by the employees, not by choice but by compulsion. They do take extra efforts to ‘update’ / ‘inform’ HR occasionally about their achievements, especially when it’s something beyond the demands of their role. Well, some employees see to it that they make the so-called ‘true’ friendships with HR, with the sole anticipation of extracting confidential information that HR is expected to have. These are the testing times for HR. For a mature HR professional, difficult here is not that he/she needs to choose the organisation over friendship; but to not choose friendship over job commitments. It requires strong will, risk-bearing ability and clear professional & personal goals, making emotional stress a part of routine.

All said and done, it is absolutely indispensable for HR to be friendly with the employees. Being social with colleagues outside office might be a riskier option, nonetheless they always need to be aware that every move they make or every word they say, must be well-thought upon to measure the consequences. Performing a balancing act during the working hours also becomes elemental. While keeping the ‘human element’ in our profession alive, we sometimes need to forget that we too are human beings with emotional needs, we too have issues that we need to share with ‘friends’, we too need to enjoy and spend some casual moments with colleagues without calculating costs and risks that we might have to bear. May be we need to change the very definition of “FRIENDSHIP” that otherwise applies to us in the outside world. . .

The Rozabal Line, by Ashwin Sanghi – BOOK REVIEW

           The Krishna Key, Chanakya’s Chant, and The Rozabal Line…. Thankfully that’s the order in which I read the 3 creations of Ashwin Sanghi; yet less than half-way through the last one. And I’m already having second thoughts on whether to complete this one, or relieve myself from the overdose of research that rather leads to a very mystifying storyline.

The story (or should we say excerpts from history) revolves around different timelines from B.C. to A.D. to the present day. Well, I could have fairly attempted to manage that, but Ashwin Sanghi wanders with his knowledge of history across the globe at the same time. And not to forget, his simultaneous endeavour to connect to several religions deviates you from the main storyline… if at all there is one!

The writer loses grip over your interest, as there is no one central character to the tale. The plot is interesting, but it takes a toll on you to be connected to the same. With 2 new characters being introduced on every other page, you are nothing but left baffled.

I think I will yet make an effort to complete this book, but this time… I will attempt at reading it at a stretch. Hoping that will make some sense…!

Performance Appraisal of the Performance Appraisal System

         March end is nearing and its time for Appraisals. All eyes are focussed on the one most important thing ‘Appraisals’ and ‘Increments’. To an HR professional, these two words have distinguished definitions. But, to a layman Appraisals mean Increments and Increments mean Appraisals.

For all those who still think they mean the same, here’s the dictionary meaning for both:

• Appraisal - an assessment or estimation of the worth, value, or quality of a person or thing

• Increment - The process of increasing in number, size, quantity, or extent.

These two terms are related, but not the same. However, in a typically traditionally managed, family owned business, there may be not be much of a practical difference between the two, but in larger organisations Appraisals and Increments have a larger system in place called the Performance Management System.

          There is much ado about effective Performance Management Systems (PMS) and a lot many theories have been conceptualised for building a robust PMS. The most popular amongst these are the 360 degrees, 180 degrees, Management by Objectives (MBO), Ratings Scale methods.

Organisations invest a great deal of money, time and efforts in formulating a PMS system that suits their organisational needs, culture and business plans. The effectiveness of any PMS depends on many factors from Goal Setting Process to the Evaluation Methodology and the Feedback Mechanism, but the major factor that influences the success of an organisation’s PMS is the ‘buy-in’ from the top management.

When you talk of Appraisals, employees imagine a herculean task coming forward i.e. of filling up pages and booklets of information. Amidst targets and deadlines, employees struggle to manage recollecting and providing information not only about their own performance, but also for their colleagues as in the 360 degree approach. What do companies do with all this download of information? Are the companies effectively utilising the data generated for the benefit of the employees and the organisation? Do companies review the Performance Appraisal Systems viz-a-viz the results it generates?

         In a webinar on "Designing an Effective Performance Management System" hosted by SHRM India; the speaker Aniruddha Limaye, an Independent Consultant, pointed out indicators that we need to be sniffing for, to understand when to start instituting a new PMS or get rid of the existing one altogether. According to his theory, the key indicators that we need to look at are:

 Employee related issues – unfavourable feedback from employees on PMS, increase in employee attrition linked to appraisal cycle

 Performance related issues – low ownership by line managers that requires tremendous follow up by HR, lack of team work / turf mentality, organisation struggling to achieve goals, difficulty in implementing any new decisions /changes / initiatives

         In most companies, Performance Assessment becomes just an HR or Admin process. HR does play a role in setting up of the process, coordinating the execution, and for normalisation. But Forced Ranking, Bell Curve Method, Jack Welch’s 20-70-10 principle come into picture as regularisation methods, which might prove to be de-motivating for many employees. “By implementing a forced ranking procedure, organizations guarantee that managers will differentiate talent”, says Dick Grote in his book ‘Forced Ranking: Making Performance Management Work’. Does forced Ranking mean appraisal of the manager’s ability to appraise his subordinates?

If PMS does not have the status of a ‘Business Process’ the organisation should think of scrapping it rather than redesigning it. PMS is not an HR process, but should come as a buy-in from the top management. Without an objective Goal-Setting process and a strong & positive Feedback Mechanism, performance cannot be reinforced. Hence, if an organisation’s PMS lacks these two important requisites, it is always advisable to scrap it rather than having a negative impact on employee’s expectations from the system.

        As quoted by Limaye, “You need to catch someone doing something right and then reinforce it!”

       When in spite of incessant initiatives of reviving the Appraisal System, there is still demand / need for change, performance appraisal systems could be eliminated with no harm done. No Performance Assessment System will work until the organisation is completely ready for the change it desires to bring in with the system.

          All in all, performance review is a daily activity, and not an annual ritual led by the HR delegates.

Be and It Is! Cracking the FACEBOOK Code!

Kun Faaya Kun in Urdu means "Be," and “it is”!!

It means – “To have anything done, we simply say to it, "Be," and “it is”!!

Jab kahin pe kuch nahi bhi nahi tha, wohi tha wohi tha

Woh jo mujh mein samaaya, woh jo tujh mein samaaya, Maula wohi wohi maaya

In this recent composition by A. R. Rehman, he talks about God, but here I’m talking about FACEBOOK! Nowadays to have anything done or not done, we simply ‘Facebook it!’

“FACEBOOK”…..the word has become synonymous with ‘Life’.

You tell a friend that you have complete access to Facebook in office, he will make you realise how lucky you are and how his company is depriving him of his basic rights.

There are different types of personalities on Facebook. For some the day doesn’t start and end without Facebook. And with smart phones today, the world is at our fingertips, and so is Facebook.

Some people are addicted to Facebook. They need to check Facebook first thing in the morning, and also the last ‘one-more time’ before going to bed. If you feel the urge to check your FB page every 5 mins, in spite of knowing that there would be nothing new, then YES!! You are an FB addict!

Before this $120 billion worth creation of Mark Zuckerberg came into being, the first thing anyone did after logging on to the office computer, was to open the Inbox to check new mails received. And work would flow gradually. Now, 1^st thing that people do is log on to Facebook to ‘keep in touch’ with other’s lives. “God! Please may I have atleast one notification, 1 friend request, I have posted such a nice update yesterday, please please please!” And if you see no red numbers on the notification bar, you face severe dejection and feel that the day has not started well today. ‘Red’ is no longer a colour for danger!! And then you make a resolution, “Today, my status will earn me as many likes and comments as possible”.

Some people are not so tech-savvy otherwise, especially those in their mid-40 and 50’s who have been introduced to this novel concept of ‘keeping in touch’ by their children or other acquaintances of young age. (Well I don’t mean to say that everyone in their 40’s and 50’s are not well-versed with technology, but here I intend to mention the not-so tech-savvy crowd amongst them). So, these are the people who make it a point to log on to the site daily, and make their presence (tech-savvy ness) felt by liking & commenting on every possible update on earth (read FB). Using newly acquired face-booking jargons like ‘lol’, ‘rofl’, ‘bro’, ‘superlikes’, ‘nice pic’, etc. becomes a way of life. Sharing pictures and videos becomes a binding affair. And not to forget the mannerisms that FB promotes – there are people who say ‘thanks’ on every ‘comment’ and ‘like’ they have grossed. 

And thanks to Facebook, now we all remember our friends’ birthdays and also send them good wishes on their ‘wall’, the ‘Great Wall of Fame’!

So is Facebooking a science or an art? Have not arrived at this conclusion yet, but I have figured out that there are 3 main imperative acts you need to do in order to ‘be there’ (make your presence felt) on Facebook.

(1) To update your own status. Be creative here because it is directly proportionate with the amount of likes and comments you will earn. (After all, that’s why you are here) ‘Out-of-the-box’ thinking is what you require.

(2) Like or comment on others status / pictures. If you can’t be creative here, just say ‘nice’, ‘lol’, ‘hahaha’, ‘true’, ‘well said’, ‘agree’ etc… (After all, your friend is going to pray for your good health and prosperity for giving him the recognition, (read notification)).

(3) Share and comment on pictures / videos (shared by 90% of people in your ‘Friend list’ already? So what!)

Some people are very passive on FB. They are there, but always invisible. They are like our parents, who are silent spectators to each and every move that you make. These people never post a comment / status, but are updated with all that is happening in their friend’s lives. May be they fear sharing about their lives to the ‘public’. Mind you, this ‘public’ are the same people who they have added to their own ‘Friend List’!

Leaving aside people on Facebook, and coming to other aspects. Any website, advertisement (television & print media) we see, contain Facebook and Twitter icons at some corner of the page, providing links to these sites. It has become such an integral part of branding and promotion. The ‘Facebook Timeline brand pages’ prove to be an effective tool in conveying identities of organisations. It gives added fun and engagement to the one-on-one branding and customer service experience.

It is no longer only a social networking site. We have various forums and ‘pages’ by professional bodies and forums where people discuss topics related to business and strategies. It is used as a hiring tool to attract talent, promote for seminars and chats, invite for private parties and functions etc.  Not only business, but it also has importance in creating political and social awareness, driving campaigns and such.

Facebook has definitely brought the world closer. Long lost friends, childhood memories, relatives and acquaintances, this networking site does not know disparities of time, distance, & boundaries.

So, what was life before Facebook? I think hard while I question myself because, yes! I don’t remember how I kept in touch with so many friends (well, I dint know I had 434 friends and more to come until Facebook happened).

YES! We feel the need to Face-book our life’s small and big events, we need to Face-book where we had dinner last night (with a picture if possible), we need to have an opinion and express it too on Face-book. We just need to Facebook!

It goes without saying that the link to this blog shall be posted on Facebook the first thing after completion (there is an FB icon down there provided by this blog site too), and I shall be waiting for your likes and comments on the same.

HAPPY FACEBOOKING J
