Storytelling that's very common way of connecting to people-here SV Nathan an HR guy tells his stories at TEDx Prayagraj

This TEDX talk tells us about the art of storytelling...

Stories are about human sentiments...every one of us has a story of our own to tell and feel good about it!
Good things about your own story (don't use cooked one, even with million rehearsals, you will look and sound fake)
Nathan SV has all real-life stories, and he quotes names of people related to those events too, just to inspire confidence in skeptics. showing gratitude and respect for those people. He is a veteran HR guy, can't go wrong. :)
--Story #1 & 2: Poor Grandmother's clairvoyance on boy Nathan having his own car and not just that, but a chauffeur driven one too. Both came true and quite early in life. And, with no ordinary chauffer but the CEO of the British MNC himself (Baharupiya :)...Nathan is also author of a book, The Bahrupiyan Challenge!
--Story #3: Empathy 10/10 (not performative) helped an employee come out of a death like situation in a foreign land...Power of a voice, however feeble and coming from someone not so significant among others...
--Story#4: If you work for an American firm and you are not running 10K, you must be a looser! But Nathan has never been looser. This story has a chilling start to it. Just before the race starts, Nathan gets a gripping cramp that almost disabled him to even walk, forget a run! But then comes an angel, an agent provocateur, mentors of all mentors and he nudges a sagging Nathan for a small target, Nathan inches to it, then another nudge, another small target, Nathan gets to than and then it was no looking back...Nathan was one of the top finishers that day! Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad is a living witness to that act of not giving up and a divine intervention.

I loved all his stories and the passion and glitter in his eyes and a childlike twitch in his feet while he narrated these stories...

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...

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...
