STABBED AND KILLED: Safety, Mobile phone and Company responsibilities

Unfortunate incident in the Parramatta park, Sydney at 9.30 pm on a Saturday, 7th March 2015 night, , a woman worker returning home after double shift at a 'desi' company, Mindtree, gets stabbed, dies..

IGNORING WARNINGS AND OBVIOUS SIGNS OF DANGER: WE ARE DESI!

Report says, her roommate had warned her several times not to take the isolated Parramatta park route to home but she did not listen. How come a lady dares to cross isolated park at 9.30 pm on a holiday (Saturday)? Does just being on mobile phone and talking all through help one save life and attack? No, it is just a psychological "hiding the fear" tool. It does not avert the danger.

MY MOBILE: MY PERSONAL BODYGUARD?

I see many girls and women on phone when they travel in public transport..This gives them a feeling that they are with someone they know, maybe virtually. BUT that is the biggest risk that it becomes. You ignore the danger near and around you as you are so inwardly looking and turning a blind eye and deaf ear to surroundings. You actually isolate yourself. You actually appear like a sitting duck, oblivious of the danger around you. Attackers: animals or human attack when the prey loses touch and sensitivity connection with the surrounding.

Please stay away from continuously talk on phone when in public place, more so when passing through a risk zone of any kind. Too much glued to phone kills sensitivity to outer world and nearly all senses shrink to a device called phone. It is as risky as falling asleep while traveling short trips in a public transport.

COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY?

On double shift, on a weekend, returning home late and all alone. Did her employer 'Mindtree' bother to ensure safety?

Other news titles says:

"Indian techie Prabha Arun Kumar's murder not racially-linked: Sydney Police".

Jewellery intact. phone missing, . Did the attacker just come to attack and go. Only the whole phone call recording between Prabha and Arun, around her time from walking from the train station till she was attached in the park, will clear the scenario under which Prabha was attacked. Racial attacks normally do not happen on an isolated and scared woman and that too without any provocation. Investigations will clear the picture.

"Australian cops release CCTV footage of Indian woman techie who was stabbed in Sydney"

In the video Prabha looks like walking fast as if she was running back to safety. No one looked like following her.

"'He Stabbed Me, Darling,' Indian Techie Killed in Sydney Told Husband on Phone".

Was her husband Arun aware that she walks through that risky and isolated route back home?

What is The Hay Group Total Reward Framework

The Hay Group Total Reward Framework A new way of understanding reward Reward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions. The issue Remuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] . The Hay Group Total Reward Framework takes strategy as a starting point – and it focuses on total reward: every financial measure together with no...

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives! Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking! If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular! A diploma holder technical manager gets the salary benchmarked for the top T-school manager with top quality experience in a challenging and break-through...

Why Organizations are so BAD at Talent Management? A curious case below..

Founded in 2019 in South San Francisco, ProcDNA has grown 2x in 24 months....from 100 to 200 as of Feb 25th as you see the snapshot below. I was looking at their India staff data looking actively for jobs as evident on Naukri.com, a leading job portal in India. For past 30 days, 39 staff in India looking out actively. If you check for past 2 months, this number inflates to 49. Median tenure of staff here is 8 months. What interests me are the following: 27 jobs posted on LinkedIn and 9 out of them are just repetitions. Same job posted many times (5x at times). There is only 1 Director level job is up there as far as senior open roles are concerned. Many jobs have titles like Senior/Associate/Assistant Engagement Lead, etc. Below are 4 senior staff in key roles who are active on Naukri.com , looking for next job. What's wrong here? Nothing....they are just looking out...:) ....But that's a self fulfilling thought, right, especially when you are the co...

Reflections: the stoic way!
