All the great emperors from Ashoka to Akbar and Chandragupta to Shivaji imbibed these values in some form or the other and religiously practiced these. Some of these values are also reflected in the famous words of Field Marshall Earl Chetwode at the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun.

The Safety, Honour and Welfare of your country comes
first always and every time
The Honour, Welfare and Comfort of the men you
command comes next
Your own Ease, Comfort and Safety comes last always and
every time.

Keeping nice post.

I am looking forward to view more your posts in future.

I was in a Town Hall meeting at a previous employer where an HR Rep was trotting out the new “Pay for Performance” plan. One of my colleagues stood up at the end of the presentation and pointed out that the pay for performance structure rewarded us the most on the areas where we had the least individual impact (company stock price) and the least in the area where we had the greatest individual performance (our own personal performance). He spoke for a little bit about the idiocy of such an upside-down system and when he received the waffling answer from the hapless Rep, asked the following question: “Whose interests do you represent – those of the company management or those of the workers?” Like a fool, the Rep blurted out the honest answer of saying, “Management’s.” As long as HR is in the business of representing the interests of management to the detriment of workers, there will always be articles like this published.

Just to see how idiotarian it is for HR to say that employees are their most valuable asset, ask them what they would do to a manger who stood on the street corner and handed out a half dozen laptops to passersby for free. They would probably fire him, particularly if the laptops contained sensitive and proprietary business information. Then ask them what they would do if a manager proudly announced that he had reduced his department’s head count by half a dozen, essentially throwing out six employees whose heads are filled with sensitive and proprietary business information to anyone who wants them. He would probably get an award.

The irony of this is that if you give a laptop to a competing organization, the competitor views it as a strategic insight into their competition’s business strategy. If you give the competition your “most valuable asset,” however, they will most likely ignore it because they don’t want to add it to their head count. So the threat of valuable employees going to other organizations and providing them with a strategic advantage over organizations that laid them off is really very low, since the competition’s HR department views personnel the same way – as a disposable commodity to be jettisoned at the slightest hint of business downturn. Or, to put it bluntly, as it’s least valuable asset.

Oh and the other new trend about HR now a days is that it is called Talent Management, along with other sub-functions like Talent Acquisition. So expect to see more cliches being born in times to come .
