Why HR people preach the benefits of Continuous Learning?

In any healthy organization you will find the HR people always going on and on about the benefits of learning continuously. You will see that the HR people in the organization attend various learning events, social meet-ups and are generally more vibrant and impressive.

Have you ever noticed why this happens? Why they tend to capture attention in a gathering? Why you find people looking out for the HR representatives and everyone is attentive when they speak? Well the answer is simple, in any organization; they are the people who are more aware of “what’s new in the Industry”, “The latest updates, and the new Trends” and “what’s up next”.

This is more attributed to the role of HR people in the organization. They have to keep themselves developed and informed  with market trends, they have to be well versed, as they have to reach and connect with people at all levels, internal and external. They are not only desired to be more human, but more knowledgeable and understanding towards all the functions of the organization and pros & con of whatever goes with-in the organization.

As a result of this you will always find them sharing the insights and experiences and encouraging the team mates to take on new learning ventures and explores their skills further. When we learn and make an effort to continuously enhance and enrich are knowledge and skills, we not only end up in developing ourselves but also become a valuable asset to the organization. This not only increases our chances to grow within the organization but ensures better opportunities in the job market.

Hence, Continuous learning is something to be taken on seriously and sincere efforts be made in the direction of enhancing knowledge and exposure. This is mostly a joint venture between the HR people (representing Management) and the Employee itself.

Be sure you are a part of learning organization!

Do what you love!

Everyone in this world is working on one thing or another, yet are we all happy to be doing what we are doing? Is it our passion? Are we enjoying ourselves along the way?? After some research and analysis of human behavior I can safely say that 90% of us are not happy doing what we are doing...Donald Trump once said that "passion helps you do better" If you are passionate about something then you will be willing to go that extra mile, take the heat on, work long hours...heck you would even work when you are not suppose to work, and this all comes from with in you. If you don't want to do something yet you have to do it, you will but that would not be done with love and passion. You will do it for the sake of doing it. And that would never be enough! Find something you like or love in everything you do! Be it any profession, you can be a doctor, teacher, engineer etc.....find something you like to do in that field. and for all those young ones who are just starting up...

Characters in a Team.......the fanatics

In my last write about the Teams and their dynamics, I shred my thoughts on the subject and after much discussion with my colleagues and on their insistence I finally am writing about the various characteristics of every team member. I don’t know how many of you have observed these characters in the offices but they are there, all you need is an observant eye and you’ll find them in no time.  To start of the one character that I have observed most is the Comedian. The senseless, mad and wild. This character will leave you feeling frustrated with your own self and you know why? Cause no matter how hard you try to put something in his brain, hardly anything goes in. He talks and talks and loves to interfere in everyone’s business. Sometime you will be in the middle of a very important discussion and all of a sudden the comedian will pick the thread of your conversation from the middle and will pass a comment which will surpass all logic and sense. On the other hand the ...

To be or not to be!

A question we often ask ourselves is to be or not to be?? I wonder why we are trained in a way that 95% of us are always doubtful of our decisions and needs and wants. Very few of us actually know what they want. This can very well be related to our work or personal life....from school, college to offices..the misery continues and discontinues.  The most difficult of all is to handle this dilemma in our relationships! How one handles this? I am still at a loss to figure this one out. However, in professional lives my advice for anyone is to be upfront right from the start. Be straightforward. No one is married to the Company so compromises are not always required or expected. Though, what is expected of you is a sound knowledge of the area you are hired for. How concrete your knowledge is and how adaptable you are! In your professional life the question "to be or not to be" will put you in a strained situation only when the decision is in your hands and may be ...
