If you ever cared about the DEI: PR, Parade and the rainbows, real actions missing..!

To all those companies, whose 90% HR folks have identified with one or the other gender identities on LinkedIn and to you, who celebrated, 'Gay pride' and 'lesbian rights' during the diversity month by drenching your company logos into the rainbow shade! Here are a few humbling Qs for you and the woke leadership team!

1. Do you have gender neutral toilets in your office?

2. How many open gays you have identified and have started projecting them as symbols of freedom from constraints or heterosexuality?

3. Have you made your Sexual Harassment policy gender neutral and coached people on the new liberal norms?

4. Are you still having a Woman as your #ICC Chairperson? Have a Gay there or a Transgender?

5. Did you have a survey of folks who didn't identify as He/Him, She/Her, They/Them, etc. for their identities (#LGBTQIA+). Make it an inclusive place with open identities.

6. Like Accenture (Indian subsidiary included), how many of you are funding Gender-Affirmation surgeries to your staff?

7. How many of you have revised your leave policies and allowed transgender men their maternity leave of 26 weeks?

8. How many of you have covered same sex partners as spouses under your Group Medical Insurance policies, etc.?

....the list in endless but above Qs shall keep you honest to your DEIB agenda!

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] .

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...

CORPORATE CULTURE AND FIVE STAGES OF ASSIMILATION

If the study of culture has a predominant guru, it would be Edgar H Schein , Professor Emeritus at MIT. Schein, who has studied the elements of culture for over half a century has a simple there-layer model for understanding corporate culture (Schein, 2009). The three levels are: ü 1. Artifacts. These are made up of visible structures, processes and behavior. Easy to observe, artifacts are the outermost layer. ü 2. Espoused values. These are the strategies and philosophies at play. They include what people focus on and ‘how things get done around here’. ü 3. Underlying assumptions. These are the unconscious beliefs and perceptions rooted in the history of the business. This innermost layer is built through collective experiences including past successes and failures. Corporate culture is as powerful as it is multifaceted. The best way to understand it is to experience it first-hand. Be immersed in both the explicit behavior and implici...
