Strategic HR: Fostering Employee Engagement via Enterprise 2.0 Technologies &...Allyis
Ethan Yarbrough discusses how organizations can foster employee engagement through enterprise technologies and strategic HR practices. He defines engagement as employees feeling involved and enthusiastic about their work. Highly engaged workforces outperform others by 20-28% and increase profits and operating margins. However, most employees are only "up for grabs" and not strongly committed. Barriers to engagement include information overload, lack of respect, distance between employees, and lack of trust in leadership. Yarbrough argues that technology tools can help by giving employees ways to share expertise, make themselves heard, find and connect with others, and be more successful. Strategic HR should focus on improving the employee experience and making the organization a better place to work through these engagement

Social Technology Sparks Agility for Small BusinessSaba Software
Five Ways to Spark Small Business Agility With Social Technology
Agility gives small and medium-size businesses an advantage when competing against larger, more established enterprises, and it’s an essential component for ongoing growth and success. As small businesses fight for market share, brand recognition, aggressive revenue increases, and investor confidence, their ability to quickly adapt to the obstacles and challenges that pop up in their path to growth can make all the difference. But where does agility come from? Or more importantly, how can small businesses make agility a constant, tangible part of their operational fabric?
What employee doesn’t want to go home at night feeling genuinely happy that their efforts are meaningful, that they’re making progress, and that they’re excited about returning to work tomorrow? There are three “bottom lines” to people-centric technology: It helps staff become more productive and effective. It helps small businesses grow despite all the twists, turns, and bumps in the road. And, equally important, it makes work much more engaging and satisfying.
Success or failure is determined by how you manage the intranet. Behind every successful intranet is an intranet management strategy. In these slides, we share some best practices. Following these guidelines will ensure your intranet continues to deliver.

Knowledge Management & Organizational Learningaparlogean
Andrew O. Parlogean explores combining knowledge management and organizational learning to efficiently transfer knowledge within an organization. By capturing both tacit and explicit knowledge from best practices using technologies like monitoring, simulation and virtual reality, the combined approach aims to train employees experientially in a low-risk environment, delivering applicable skills much faster than traditional learning methods alone. The goal is to leverage existing collective knowledge within a company and disseminate it throughout the workforce in an accelerated manner.
The document discusses the changing landscape of learning and discusses how a new generation of learners have different expectations. It argues that learning needs to be more flexible, adaptable, and on-demand to meet these changing expectations. It outlines a shift from traditional centralized and classroom-based learning to knowledge and learning that is distributed, social, and accessible anytime, anywhere on demand.
Internal communication within an organization is important to ensure everyone has the information needed to do their job effectively and maintain a shared vision. It improves job effectiveness and team success by keeping all employees up to date and allowing them to deal with changes together. Different communication styles should be used depending on the individual or group, and communication needs to be understood by all to have meaning. Internal communication tools include SharePoint for organizing knowledge, whiteboards for alerts and tasks, handouts for policy changes, and email.
The document discusses defining career paths for IT professionals, specifically the career path to becoming a Chief Information Officer (CIO). It begins by noting a troubling trend where fewer IT professionals view the CIO role as a worthy career goal due to perceptions that it is a difficult position. The document then quotes several current CIOs who describe the rewarding aspects of their role, such as making a positive impact on their institution and community. It concludes by providing advice for IT professionals to extend their career potential, including pushing themselves out of their comfort zone, being willing to relocate to new opportunities, understanding their personal brand, and addressing any weaknesses through professional development.

The Hill & Knowlton/PRWeek annual Corporate Survey was released on October 1. For this year’s report, more than 290 US corporate communications professionals completed an online survey examining the latest trends and shifts in the corporate communications function.
This document discusses the importance of leadership development and promoting leadership from within organizations. It notes that companies with strong leadership significantly outperform peers financially. Developing leadership is a top priority for talent retention and a business imperative. However, many organizations are failing to develop internal talent and leaders. They say they want to promote from within but often hire externally. The document recommends identifying and developing internal talent through training programs like Vertex to strengthen organizational culture and improve business performance.
The document discusses how the changing workplace and workforce are impacting organizational collaboration potential. It notes that technology and demographic shifts are changing how work gets done, requiring greater collaboration. However, many organizations do not fully practice collaboration despite recognizing its importance. The document outlines factors that can increase collaboration, such as collaborative technology, workspace design that facilitates interaction, and building trust between employees. It concludes that understanding and managing workforce changes along with prioritizing collaboration tools, spaces, and trust-building will help organizations maximize their collaborative potential.
This white paper from The Corporate Learning Institute discusses how workforce changes and new technologies are impacting collaboration in organizations. It notes that an aging workforce and younger workers have different needs that must be accommodated to improve collaboration between generations. Additionally, the increased use of collaborative technologies and redesigning workspaces to encourage interaction can help build the trust required for effective collaboration. CLI provides training to help organizations strengthen collaborative skills.
This document provides 10 social media tips for directors. It discusses the importance of thinking strategically about social media use and aligning it with organizational priorities.

The document encourages directors to reveal their true personalities on social media and not hide behind corporate personas.
This document discusses the development of a CAD model for a flywheel motor system that can be operated by multiple riders. The flywheel motor is a key component in many manually powered machines that store human energy through pedaling and release it to drive machine processes. Previous flywheel motor designs only accommodated a single rider. The proposed new design includes two bicycle mechanisms mounted on a common shaft that allow two people to pedal and contribute energy simultaneously. The document outlines design considerations for flywheel speed, size, gear ratios, and other parameters based on prior research. It presents the CAD model created in Solid Edge software, which can be used for simulation, analysis and optimization of the multi-rider flywheel motor system.
This document summarizes a research paper that analyzes customer sentiments from reviews using two frequent itemset mining algorithms: FP-Growth and FIN. It describes preprocessing customer review text to transactions and running the two algorithms on the transactional data to find common words. The algorithms' outputs are compared based on memory usage and execution time. FP-Growth and FIN both efficiently find frequent items or itemsets without generating candidates but FP-Growth requires two database scans while FIN only requires one.
This document evaluates the performance of 20 radiation-based equations for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ET0) against the FAO Penman-Monteith method using 24 years of weather data from Pantnagar, India. The FAO24-Radiation method provided ET0 values that most closely matched the FAO Penman-Monteith method based on agreement index and RMSE values on daily, weekly, and monthly timescales. The Castaneda-Rao method estimated ET0 values that were almost equal to the FAO Penman-Monteith values. Overall, the FAO24-Radiation method performed the best among the 20 radiation-based equations evaluated for the sub-humid climate

1) Management, locality, and gender were found to significantly influence engineering students' attitudes towards the semester system. Government college students and those from urban or female backgrounds tended to have more positive attitudes.
2) Educational implications are discussed, such as the need to provide more support to students from private colleges, rural areas, or male backgrounds to improve their attitudes towards semesters.
3) Factors like class sizes, assessment approaches, and teaching methods may need to change to better suit the demands of the semester system.
This document summarizes a case study evaluating the performance of the water treatment plant in Yavatmal, India. The plant treats water from the Chapdoh Dam and has a capacity of 17.40 MLD. Testing was conducted on water samples from the intake, flash mixer, clariflocculator, filters, and clear well to analyze removal of parameters like turbidity, alkalinity and hardness. Turbidity was reduced from an average of 2.5-447 NTU in raw water to 0.3-9.7 NTU after treatment. Alkalinity reduced from 65-120 mg/L to 20-95 mg/L. The study found the plant largely met standards and was effective
This document discusses techniques for measuring fuel levels in vehicles. It begins by describing traditional float-based fuel level measurement systems and their accuracy limitations. It then outlines several alternative fuel level sensing techniques including capacitive sensing using electrodes, electronic load cells that measure weight, and ultrasonic sensing using sound waves. The document concludes that while traditional analog systems are cheap, digital techniques using sensors like these would provide more accurate readings and prevent fraud, benefiting both customers and manufacturers.
This document describes the design of a tunable 3rd order Chebyshev low pass filter based on a floating inductor. The filter uses operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) to implement the floating inductor, floating resistor, and grounded resistor. The simulated floating inductor can be electronically tuned by varying the external bias current, which changes the transconductance of the OTAs. Simulation results show that the cutoff frequency of the filter can be adjusted by varying either the transconductance or bias current of the OTAs. The filter exhibits a maximum passband gain of 2.2 dB and a 3dB cutoff frequency of 7.1 MHz.
This document presents a DWT-based video watermarking algorithm that embeds a watermark into randomly selected video frames in the mid-frequency DWT coefficients. The algorithm first divides the video into frames and extracts the blue channel of randomly selected frames. It then applies DWT to the blue channel, extracts the mid-frequency components, and embeds the watermark by modifying these coefficients. After inverse DWT and recombining the color channels, the watermarked frames are assembled into the watermarked video. The algorithm was tested on standard videos and performance was measured using PSNR and MSE between the original and watermarked videos.
This study evaluated the performance of full duplex and half duplex modes in a wired local area network (LAN) with four nodes. The network was simulated using OPNET software. When full duplex mode was implemented, the traffic received increased and the bit error rate reduced to zero. However, with half duplex mode, traffic received was lower and the bit error rate increased. Therefore, the results validated that full duplex mode should be used to achieve better quality of service in terms of high traffic and low error rates in a wired LAN.

ANOVA analysis found sand particle size and mould hardness to be the most significant factors, contributing 71.64% and 9.77% respectively. Implementing the optimal factor levels improved the acceptance percentage from 91.66% to 94.5%, enhancing foundry
This document presents a method for detecting peaks in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals using wavelet transforms. The method first preprocesses the ECG signal to remove noise like baseline wandering and powerline interference. It then applies wavelet decomposition to the preprocessed ECG signal. The QRS complex is detected from the decomposed signal and the R peaks are located. Windows around the R peaks are used to detect the P, Q, S, and T peaks. ST segment analysis is also performed to determine if the ECG pattern indicates heart attack. The method is tested on ECG signals from a standard database and is able to accurately detect all the peaks.
This document evaluates various filtering techniques for reducing speckle noise in ultrasound images. It first describes common noise filtering algorithms like median filtering, average filtering, and Wiener filtering. It then evaluates hybrid combinations of these filters on ultrasound images. Performance is quantified using metrics like mean squared error, signal-to-noise ratio, peak signal-to-noise ratio, speckle index, and edge preservation index. Experimental results on a sample pancreas image show that average filtering with a 3x3 window and hybrid combinations of filters like Butterworth filtering followed by Wiener filtering can effectively reduce speckle noise while preserving image details.
This document describes an automated town water management system that uses sensors and microcontrollers to efficiently distribute water. The system monitors water levels in tanks using sensors. When the tank level reaches 20%, a pump turns on to refill it, and turns off at 90% full. Solenoid valves connected to areas of town can be opened remotely using a mobile phone. The valve status, tank level, and other information is displayed on a graphical LCD. An SMS is sent with this status update to provide remote monitoring of the water distribution system. This automated system reduces labor costs compared to manual management and helps prevent water wastage.
This document summarizes forward error correction techniques using convolutional encoders and Viterbi decoders. It first provides background on communication channels and the need for error correction when transmitting data. It then describes convolutional coding, a technique that maps a continuous stream of input bits to a continuous stream of encoded output bits using shift registers, with the encoded bits depending on current and past input bits. The key aspects of convolutional encoders are discussed, including parameters like the number of output bits, input bits, and shift registers. Generator polynomials are also introduced as characterizing the encoder connections. Viterbi decoding is highlighted as a maximum likelihood algorithm for decoding the trellis structure of convolutional codes based on soft decisions.
This document summarizes the design, modeling, and analysis of a conveyor system used to transport cartons for filling liquid. The conveyor system aims to automate the process and reduce labor costs. It will transport 420 cartons per day for filling by a programmable machine. The author developed a 3D model of the proposed conveyor layout using CAD software to visualize and modify the design. An analysis of the conveyor system was also conducted using ANSYS software. The objectives of the project are to automate the plant filling process, study different conveyor types, reduce product development time, and lower material and assembly costs.
This document analyzes the Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) system for securing electronic payments. SET uses cryptography techniques like SSL and nested encryption tunnels to securely transmit payment information between customers, merchants, and payment gateways. The system aims to provide authentication, data confidentiality, non-repudiation, access control, and data integrity. It allows customers to securely purchase items online by encrypting transaction data and verifying identities. The main advantage is it protects payment information and can be easily used, without additional software, by securing the conventional communication channels used for online transactions.

Capabilities we need now in change managementLena Ross
Titled 'The High 5 of Change Mastery' this presentation is a guide for change leaders and practitioners to future-pace their capabilities with these skills for change mastery. These emerging capabilities will help us optimise our relevance and effectiveness in a disruptive business environment.
Soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and relationship building are becoming increasingly important for workforces. While employees may have strong technical skills, many lack soft skills like teamwork, leadership, and communication. This can create a "soft skills gap" where organizations are unable to fully capitalize on their employees' expertise. In order to close this gap, companies should evaluate employees' interpersonal skills and encourage soft skills development through training programs focused on listening, conflict resolution, and relationship building. A proposed 30-hour soft skills enhancement program would address this need through activity-based workshops or regular sessions using multimedia and interactions.
Internal communications in the workplace has undergone tremendous changes. Technology, remote working, globalization, and flat structures have led businesses to rethink how they communicate with their employees.
In these slides, we discuss, what internal communications is, how to put an effective internal comms plan in place, and the latest trends, standards, benefits, and challenges.
The digital age, with its hyperconnectivity and disruptive technologies, is forcing companies to rethink their people-management strategies. This involves changes in three major areas: Organizational model, relationships between the organization & people and leadership models & corporate culture.

Virtual team management is the ability to organize and coordinate with effect a group whose members are not in the same location or time zone, and may not even work for the organization. The predictor of success is–as always–clarity of purpose. But, virtual team management requires deeper understanding of people, process, and technology, and recognition that trust is a more limiting factor compared with face-to-face interactions.

White Paper: Embracing Social Media and Being Smart about It by Laurie ReuttimanSteven Duque
We live in a Googled world. Pew Research estimates that 79% of American adults use the Internet on a regular basis and that nearly half of those individuals use a social networking site (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) in their personal lives. This number has doubled since 2008.
Human Resources professionals have a reputation for being stodgy and difficult, but according to the results in the I Love Rewards survey on social media, that reputation is unfair and inaccurate. Ninety-eight percent of respondents believe that social networks are a tool that HR should be using, which tells us that Human Resources professionals are open to social media and new technology. This may seem counterintuitive based on your personal experiences in the workforce, but in the Googled world, even your local HR generalist sees value in connecting on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Social media adoption is pervasive and fun.

Introducing Social Employee Engagement: Shifting From Technology To PeopleMSL
Social employee engagement puts people at the centre by focusing on what inspires and
engages them to do their best work. This report offers a complete introduction to social business and sets out a roadmap for success.
This document summarizes a research paper that examines pricing strategy in a two-stage supply chain consisting of a supplier and retailer. The supplier offers a credit period to the retailer, who then offers credit to customers. A mathematical model is formulated to maximize total profit for the integrated supply chain system. The model considers three cases based on the relative lengths of the credit periods offered at each stage. Equations are developed to represent the profit functions for the supplier, retailer and overall system in each case. The goal is to determine the optimal selling price that maximizes total integrated profit.
The document discusses melanoma skin cancer detection using a computer-aided diagnosis system based on dermoscopic images. It begins with an introduction to skin cancer and melanoma. It then reviews existing literature on automated melanoma detection systems that use techniques like image preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. Features extracted in other studies include asymmetry, border irregularity, color, diameter and texture-based features. The proposed system collects dermoscopic images and performs preprocessing, segmentation, extracts 9 features based on the ABCD rule, and classifies images using a neural network classifier to detect melanoma. It aims to develop an automated diagnosis system to eliminate invasive biopsy procedures.
This document summarizes various techniques for image segmentation that have been studied and proposed in previous research. It discusses edge-based, threshold-based, region-based, clustering-based, and other common segmentation methods. It also reviews applications of segmentation in medical imaging, plant disease detection, and other fields. While no single technique can segment all images perfectly, hybrid and adaptive methods combining multiple approaches may provide better results. Overall, image segmentation remains an important but challenging task in digital image processing and computer vision.
This document presents a test for detecting a single upper outlier in a sample from a Johnson SB distribution when the parameters of the distribution are unknown. The test statistic proposed is based on maximum likelihood estimates of the four parameters (location, scale, and two shape) of the Johnson SB distribution. Critical values of the test statistic are obtained through simulation for different sample sizes. The performance of the test is investigated through simulation, showing it performs well at detecting outliers when the contaminant observation represents a large shift from the original distribution parameters. An example application to census data is also provided.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a portable device called the "Disha Device" to improve women's safety. The device has features like live location tracking, audio/video recording, automatic messaging to emergency contacts, a buzzer, flashlight, and pepper spray. It is designed using an Arduino microcontroller connected to GPS and GSM modules. When the button is pressed, it sends an alert message with the woman's location, sets off an alarm, activates the flashlight and pepper spray for self-defense. The goal is to provide women a compact, one-click safety system to help them escape dangerous situations or call for help with just a single press of a button.

The document presents a comparative study of different gantry girder profiles for various crane capacities and gantry spans. Bending moments, shear forces, and section properties are calculated and tabulated for 'I'-section with top and bottom plates, symmetrical plate girder, 'I'-section with 'C'-section top flange, plate girder with rolled 'C'-section top flange, and unsymmetrical plate girder sections. Graphs of steel weight required per meter length are presented. The 'I'-section with 'C'-section top flange profile is found to be optimized for biaxial bending but rolled sections may not be available for all spans.
This document summarizes research on analyzing the first ply failure of laminated composite skew plates under concentrated load using finite element analysis. It first describes how a finite element model was developed using shell elements to analyze skew plates of varying skew angles, laminations, and boundary conditions. Three failure criteria (maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Wu) were used to evaluate first ply failure loads. The minimum load from the criteria was taken as the governing failure load. The research aims to determine the effects of various parameters on first ply failure loads and validate the numerical approach through benchmark problems.
This document summarizes a study that investigated the larvicidal effects of Aegle marmelos (bael tree) leaf extracts on Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Specifically, it assessed the efficacy of methanol extracts from A. marmelos leaves in killing A. aegypti larvae (at the third instar stage) and altering their midgut proteins. The study found that the leaf extract achieved 50% larval mortality (LC50) at a concentration of 49 ppm. Proteomic analysis of larval midguts revealed changes in protein expression levels after exposure to the extract, suggesting its bioactive compounds can disrupt the midgut. The aim is to identify specific inhibitor proteins in the midg
This document presents a system for classifying electrocardiogram (ECG) signals using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The system first preprocesses raw ECG data by removing noise and segmenting the signals. It then uses a CNN to extract features directly from the ECG data and classify arrhythmias without requiring complex feature engineering. The CNN architecture contains 11 convolutional layers and is optimized using techniques like batch normalization and dropout. The system was tested on ECG datasets and achieved classification accuracy of over 93%, demonstrating its effectiveness at automated ECG classification.
This document presents a new algorithm for extracting and summarizing news from online newspapers. The algorithm first extracts news related to the topic using keyword matching. It then distinguishes different types of news about the same topic. A term frequency-based summarization method is used to generate summaries. Sentences are scored based on term frequency and the highest scoring sentences are selected for the summary. The algorithm was evaluated on news datasets from various newspapers and showed good performance in intrinsic evaluation metrics like precision, recall and F-score. Thus, the proposed method can effectively extract and summarize online news for a given keyword or topic.

‘Human Resources’ is a relatively modern management term coined in the 1960s, yet its importance can
be traced back to Vedic ages. In The Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna teaches Arjuna the art of Self
Management, Anger Management; Stress Management, Conflict Management, Transformational
Leadership, Motivation, Goal setting and many other aspects which are now essential parts of any HRM
curriculum. Today, many B-Schools consider The Bhagavad Gita a guide to developmental strategies that
are so essential in modern management. With the boom in the technology sector in 2000, the outlook to
Human Resource Management in India has witnessed sea-change in last two decades. Trends in Human
Resource Management have radically changed, as organizations are more dependent on HRM to increase
the success ratio in today's competitive global environment making Human resource as one of crucial
driver for development and change. This paper tries to highlight how these powerful technological
advances on the other hand are intensifying the problem of human resource management rather than
managing it. Web-based meetings with global teams, strategy discussions on endless email threads, social
networking with "electronic" associates and friends is the depiction of an ultra-connected work place.
While these powerful technological advances allow us to make instant virtual connections with our
colleagues, they also contribute to a growing problem in business today. Ironically, all of those digital
connections are creating a serious personal disconnect. Clearly, the solution doesn't involve opting out of
the Internet or giving up our mobile phones to restore the integrity of human resources. But it does mean
that we need to implement better strategies for sustainable development of Human Resources.

1. INTRODUCTION
This paper tries to highlight how these powerful technological advances on the other hand are intensifying the
problem of human resource management rather than managing it and throws light on the need based strategic
measures to be adopted for the sustainable development of Human Resources.
Increased connections aren't the same thing as productive connections. In fact, the decline in strong, effective
business relationships is now taking a measurable toll: more careers seem stalled, more teams are struggling to
perform, and more companies are suffering from unproductive workplace behaviour. Ironically, all of those
digital connections are creating a serious personal disconnect. Gone are the days when we would carve out time
to discuss our progress, our interpersonal challenges regarding handling difficult situations at work with our
mentors and team mates. Today, we rarely have time to reach out for sound advice and candid guidance. With
quick rotational assignments and tight deadlines, we may not have the bandwidth or the inclination to
professional interpersonal relations that historically improved the human resource management till the recent

past. Even trading meaningful suggestions and insights about team interactions with co-workers over lunch also
seems to be a thing of the past today. Need to implement better strategies for sustainable development of Human
Resources is becoming imperative.
Implementation of better strategies for sustainable development of Human Resources includes a special focus on
the following areas:
Improving social fluency
Identifying blind spots
Eliminating blind spots
Gathering feedback
2. IMPROVING SOCIAL FLUENCY
Social fluency requires input from the people around. How well do we communicate and collaborate with others
matters a lot in HR management. Are we effective at influencing our peers? How do we handle leadership roles?
These are the determinants of success rather than the credentials listed on professionally designed resumes. But
to evaluate and improve those skills, an honest feedback from colleagues and co-workers is needed. Otherwise
the risk of unintentionally sabotaging careers with subtle behaviors becomes evident all around.
3. IDENTIFYING BLIND SPOTS
Car wrecks not only happen to careless drivers but also to those who have an obstructed view. It is all
perception, the way we look at things that matters more. Sometimes the only way to know what's in the blind
spot is to ask someone who can see from a different perspective. The same thing happens in professional
relationships too. Professional blind spots are the areas where there's a gap between the intended impact on
others and the actual interpretation. For example, one might think his/her enthusiasm to share ideas with our
team members is helpful, while they perceive it as overbearing. Sometimes intention to be taken seriously by
maintaining a subdued professional demeanor at all times might be interpreted as cold and unapproachable. In
spite of doing everything else "right" in careers and building the perfect resumes, these subtle behaviors could
be inadvertently sending the wrong messages and preventing human relations. Unless one is aware of his/her
blind spots, they can’t be corrected forever. For this to be fruitful, a strong network of trusted colleagues who
are willing to share information without inhibitions is needed.
4. ELIMINATING BLIND SPOTS
The comments so collected either positive or negative, serve as tools for the professional development as a
whole. An objective analysis of these comments can help in applying them in a more productive manner. Once
the blind spots are uncovered, insights drawn should be put into action. In this process steps should be taken to
close gaps if any in between the intended and actual impact in the workplace. And since eliminating blind spots
is an ongoing process, it is imperative to keep the lines of personal communication always open with mentors
and advisers.
5. GATHERING FEEDBACK
Though embarrassing and uncomfortable, it is important to know how one is perceived from different ends by
different people for which a comprehensive feedback mechanism has to be implemented. While this conclusion
seems obvious, many a times this is deliberately substituted by an educated guess which is not sufficient
enough. To get an accurate picture of professional blind spots, it is important to gather actual feedback from
those who have real experience of interacting, observing behaviors and communication styles.

Even if technology continues to depersonalize the ultra connected work place, it is advisable to follow the foot
prints of the most successful leaders who better know the value of investing time and energy to maintain solid
human relationships. When there is a room to check in, get support and safely hear the truth about one another, a
significant edge in the improvement of building human relations is built. The chance to view professional
reputations through the perceptual lens of colleagues and co-workers subdues the dysfunctional behavior in the
workplace which is the most challenging part of any HR scenario. For this it is imperative to develop honest,
open communication to build interpersonal success using principles of being real, taking responsibility,
extending respect and building relationships.
Most importantly, setting aside time to develop and nurture the human relations pushing beyond the invisible
barricades of technology and its ironic illusion of connectivity leads to the sustainable development of Human
Resources at work place.
