Sasta Influencer...Big Bahukaal! B.Tech from Grade C engineering College -Claims to be the Pope?

This is a great idea. But wondering, whether the culled one's would ever know or care if they got shelved?
So, who does this cleaning help and how?
It's very true that the engagement rate of LinkedIn "followers" has much less adoption rate than the typical LMSs that companies use for staff learning, skill building, certifications etc. LMS adoption rate is ~5%.
We know LinkedIn mixed up two words badly: Connections and Followers.
Connections, aka 1st degree connections, we know LI limits at 30K. After 30K, one only adds a Follower/Gets Followed!
Connection doesn't necessarily mean a follower and a follower doesn't necessarily mean a connection. LinkedIn is confused here. 😄🙄
LI assumes that all connections are followers, and it calls them so. And this is a problem. My best number for what I want from LI, limits my 1st degree connections to under 500. Others can follow. 95% of connection requests that I get, I don't accept. Followers are fine. I only follow others, only in rare cases I send a connection request..
Out of many of my 1st degree connects, I have Unfollowed many, just to keep my feed sanitized...
What's your take on Followers and Following vs Connecting?

I will be cleaning up my LinkedIn Connections over the next few days. Why?

Over the years I have been guilty of adding connections where there was no real connect. And to make it complicated a large % of my connections is not active on LinkedIn anymore.

If you have been active and engage with my posts often, you are safe 😂

Thanks to Anand Vaishampayan for the idea and nudge. If you get left out of my connections, blame Anand. 😁

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 implicit beliefs. And it is through
