Pardon me - but off course I need to start this blog with an idea in HR.
HR - according to me - has a lot of scope for ideating and is one hell of a creative field. Keeping people happy and satisfied is more difficult than anything in this world. Here is one small step taken by Steria, a small IT company, which it calls as the 7 Solutions process.
It is basically aimed at making the induction process more employee-friendly.
Some of the initiatives are :
1) A new employee gets a Welcome Card signed by the HR director.
2) The new employee is introduced to People Help Desk and Computer Service Desk by an HR representative.
3) Induction kit handed over to every individual by an HR representative.
These do look like small steps but I have never heard this happening in any company till date. I always used to think that if I become an HR and have some creative freedom in an organisation then the first thing I would try and improve would be the induction. Anyone who has worked, knows the apprehension one feels when joining a new company. The new employee is in the most judgemental frame of mind and if the work environment strikes him/her as negative in those initial days - it would have long lasting implications on the respect and belonging the employee carries throughout their tenure in the organisation.

why another fuckin blog?
Yea...maybe the question you had was a lot more sophisticated than the title chosen by me like "why did Hiral create one more blog again?" . In any case, let me try and answer it.
Its been 3 months almost in college now and life has again fallen into a routine of lectures and analysing some age old ideas (supposed to be) igniting case studies. Now I am tired of cursing the system and expecting that it can be changed. So why not have small system of self-learning within the system of forced-learning?
Basically, what I would be doing is compiling some of the greatest ideas I come across - they can be articles I read, ideas I discussed or maybe ideas which struck me while forcing those potatoes I ate in the mess down my intestine (if you know what I mean? :P )!
I hope you are as moved by these ideas as I was. If not, god bless you!
