New Learning from HRM

I apologize for the lack of commitment in keeping my posts up. HRM in India is actually quite nascent. I am sure that the big IT companies will disagree on the basis that they have a PCMM certification or follow the same best practices as those used elsewhere.

We have forgotten about forward and backward integration of best practices, what is worse is that even though we have a rich culture we are not adapting a number of 'best' practices as per our culture. Leading to dissent within the employees not only about the policy but about human resource management in general.

I had done some research before in the field of absorption capacity. This is exactly the pitfalls of not paying close enough attention to something like an organisations absorption capacity.

Recently, the organisation I work for decided to employ PMS. No doubt it is a good initiative but what is more important is that it is properly implement and designed in such a manner that all employees are motivates. In a number of organisation similar to mine the role of PMS is to conduct a performance appraisal once usually at the end of the financial year and then give people increments no thought has been put in as to what else can be done? is the system fair? and the most basic question which largely remains unanswered is does this improve the performance and motivate my employees?

PRP is a relatively new practice in India, we were more used to the diwali bonus and pay increase as per the boss's will. I admit that a few organisations have been able to implement this practice very well and are exploiting thr benefits. While others followed them blindly and have had to suffer.
