Dear [[-FullName-]],
Welcome to the second issue of HR Connect. As promised, we are here with you on Mar 1, with our second newsletter. The response to the first issue was really overwhelming. We didn't quite expect the huge goodwill the first issue generated in the NHRD community. We were inundated with congratulatory messages. Click here for a sampling of them. This issue offers a window to a few concerns in HR. About HR outsourcing, Emotional Intelligence, IT in HR and the like. Two of our readers - S. Deenadayalan and S. Naga Siddharth have contributed articles. You may find them useful. As you're aware, the 9th NHRD Conference to be held between Sept. 16-19 will be anchored by us. It's an event of relevance to all of us. We look forward to your viewpoints that could help in making it a success. Your feedback is important. We invite articles, letters, snippets, advertisements... and questions to Ranjan too. Write to us at nhrd.bangalore@vsnl.net. Happy reading. Regards, Edit Team |

Competency-Based Human Resource Management - David D. Dubois, William J. Rothwell. Force-fitting employees into a "job box" shortchanges both the employees and the organization. The more effective method is to fit employee talents to the work that must be accomplished. This book describes how to reinvent the human resource department so that job competencies--rather than job descriptions--become the foundation for all HR efforts.
