Business Studies > Staffing

Easy

"Our assets walk out of the door each evening. We have to make sure that they come back the next morning" (as stated by Narayana Murthy former, CEO of INFOSYS.) At a time when organisations are debating the strategic importance of their human resources, Infosys, a consulting and software services organisation, includes its human resources on its balance sheet to affirm their asset value. The rationale for this is as follows: "The long term success of a company is usually examined on certain financial and non-financial parameters. Human resources are among these new non financial parameters that challenge the usefulness of evaluating corporate success solely on traditional measures. Human resources represent the collective expertise, innovation, leadership, entrepreneurial and managerial skills endowed in the employees of an organisation." As a knowledge intensive company, Infosys recognises the value of its human assets in maintaining its competitive position. It realises that these assets can easily walk away, as competitors in India and abroad covet its IT talent. Consequently, the challenge facing Infosys is how to attract, retain and develop its human assets in a highly competitive and dynamic environment. Most of the current human resource practices at Infosys result from the vision of the leaders and the culture that they have created. Narayana Murthy, known for his leadership and vision is the public image of Infosys. His leadership style is humble and straight-forward, quite uncommon in the world of Indian business. He believes in sharing wealth with his employees and in leading by example. In a knowledge-based business like Infosys, he sees the importance of consistency in rhetoric and action in empowering employees. He is credited with creating a culture of closeness and empowerment at Infosys. His management style, rare among Indian business leaders, is based on western management.

What according to Narayana Murthy will help in retaining his employees in a highly competitive and dynamic environment?

Motivating employees to do overtime

Allowing employees to take frequent breaks

Attracting employees of its competitors to join his organization

Sharing wealth with his employees

Mr. Avinash has joined as a vice President of a manufacturing unit manufacturing garments. As a vice president, he was given the responsibility of increasing the production and efficiency of workers. He observed that managers relied on their personal judgement while attending to the problems they confronted. So he recommended work study which will result in saving time, effort and increasing efficiency. He also noticed that management was not honouring their commitment. He surveyed the market too. His study of the survey showed that demand can be increased through diversification. He decided to diversify into footwear and handbags. He created divisions for garments, footwear and handbags and made the divisional managers responsible for performance. Each division is self contained with respect to various functions like production, purchases, finance, marketing etc. Now he decided to fill the various positions created with the right person. For this, he analysed the number and type of workers needed. He got his organisation registered at naukri.com.

Although the family is well off and reputed in society, her mother feels lack of recognition and self-respect for herself.

They ensured the quality standards for hygiene in kitchen, standardized the quality of vegetables, dry fruits and other raw materials to be purchased, made sure that the orders are delivered in time. While Anukriti's mother took care of all cooking in Kitchen, she personally observed the helpers at work. Being a commerce student, Anukriti decided to take care of finances herself. She prepared budgets in terms of quality, time, cost of material, calculated a point with no profit, no loss to ensure earning of target profits. As per the feedback received from customers, they improvised the dishes with lesser oil, spices, sugar.
