Additional criteria could be the team's success and the individual's performance.

...Rashard Lewis July 7, 2013 MGT 510 Effective HR Practices In the early 1990’s, the liberalization of India’s economy and growth in international investment increased the demands of legal services for multinational corporations. With this demand, the legal service market in India became more competitive for corporate legal advice. High attrition rate and foreign law firm had become a major issue causing movement of partners and associates amongst legal firms. Singhania and Partners, an Indian national law firm realized the importance of hiring and retaining talent was the source of competitive advantage (Kapoor). The firm developed an effective Human Resource Management system by establishing career growth based on merit, having discussions, and giving recognition to keep employees loyal and motivated. Merit pay systems have an advantage in helping businesses attract and retain top talent. According to the founder of Singhania and Partner, Ravi Singhania stated that a new employee’s salary increased by 50% before the employee receive his first cheque because he provide value to the firm, and he seemed happy (Goyal,2008). High achievers usually prefer to work for organizations where they feel their accomplishments will be acknowledged and rewarded. For established employees, merit compensation helps keep employees who might otherwise leave for better-paying opportunities. This system encourages stronger employees to stay with the company.

...THE TALENT THRUST FOR ACHIEVING EXPONENTIAL GROWTH September 2007 Introduction This paper outlines the people strategy that can be adopted by a people intensive company that is looking at achieving exponential growth in revenues and business. To illustrate this better, an example of a mid cap IT Company has been taken. The IT Company is focused on meeting the challenges omnipresent in the business environment detailed in the paper, while ensuring the goals of the organization are achieved. The company has set itself very ambitious goals. Achieving these goals would require leveraging of its talent pool. The Context Industry Scenario According to the annual NASSCOM Survey on performance of the IT Software and Services Industry in India, the Indian IT – ITES industry recorded an overall growth of 30.7% as against a projected growth of 27%. They clocked revenues of USD 39.6 billion in FY 06 – 07 up from USD 30.3 billion in FY 05 – 06. The survey also projects that this industry will grow by 24 – 27% whereby revenues will be in the range of USD 49 – 50 billion in FY 08. While India continues to be the preferred destination for Global IT sourcing, due to its talent pool, top quality management and security and quality focus, there are certain challenges that IT organizations need to address immediately. Some of the immediate challenges would include the rupee appreciation, sustainability of available talent, infrastructure development and sustenance of a positive regulatory...

...Discuss what human resource practices you would recommend that Technology Consultants change. Technology Consultants need to take the time to improve their human resource practices. They need to focus more on personnel practices because they are the ones who reach out to customers’ needs and wants which in turn results in satisfied customers and a profitable organization. They need to also pay closer attention to the selection process. Hiring employees who are qualified and possess the skills necessary for the job is very crucial because it can lead the organization to success or possible failure. Employees need to be hired based on their skills, leadership qualities and commitment not only to the organization itself but also to the customers. The employees hired need to know how to serve their customers in order to produce customer satisfaction. In other words, employees must create value for their customers. Additionally, they need to re-evaluate employee compensation. Employees should receive compensation based on their experience, hard work and dedication to the organization and customer satisfaction. It is unfair to compensate employees who do the minimum required. There are employees who push themselves to the limit because they want personal success and growth within the organization as well as to contribute to the success of the company. Evaluate how well the company resources practices align with one another. The company resources practices do not align with one another...

...Supporting Good Practice in Managing Employment Relations 3MER 1.1 2 internal factors which impact on the employment relationship Pay - It is well known that pay helps to motivate and even retain staff in most cases, but nowadays it is not just the financial rewards that employees are seeking, its possibility of career enhancement and training opportunities. If employees know that they are being appreciated and groomed for greater things then this could have a positive impact on employee and employer relations. Organisational culture – A company’s organisational culture can have a huge impact on employment relations. Some companies may be very strict about work timings; so if an employee were to leave work 10 minutes before they are supposed to, some managers may discipline them for it. Other companies are more relaxed in this approach as they may let employees start work a little late, or early with no threat of a disciplinary. So employee relations could be affected in a positive or negative manner depending on the type of culture that a company adopts. 2 external factors which impact on the employment relationship Technological changes – The advent of new and improved software’s and technologies may impact employment relationship. Employees may feel that their company is not keeping up to date with new technologies and software’s that are constantly being released in order to make peoples jobs easier. Therefore the employee may feel that...

...Eye on Asia Can soaring population give India an edge over China? Posted by: Bruce Einhorn on September 19, 2006 India’s population is exploding and is likely to surpass China as the world’s biggest within a few decades. In a country where more than 25% of the people live in poverty, is that a good thing? One of the top executives at India’s premier pharma company seems to think so. Last week Brian Tempest, the former CEO and current “chief mentor” at Ranbaxy Laboratories, told an industry gathering that the growth of India’s below-25 population “is going to act as a secret weapon in the future,” according to this report in the Hindu. Tempest went on to take a jab at China, saying that slower Chinese population growth would put the Middle Kingdom at a disadvantage. Says Tempest, “the one-child policy in China will play a spoilsport.” The logic is simple. Fast population growth equals more young people, and more young people equals a more dynamic work force. According to the Indian Express, citing India’s Ministry of Labour and Employment, India already has an advantage over more advanced economies. The median age in India in 2000 was 24, compared to 30 in China, 38 in Europe and 41 in creaky old Japan. However, most of those Indians live in the countryside, and it’s no secret that India’s rural population is not sharing in the boom enjoyed by people in other parts of the country. In the past, Asiatech blog readers have written in to debate the merits of India’s development...

It is one of the few countries in the developing world that is on track to achieve Millennium Development Goal 4: reducing the under-five mortality rate by two thirds by 2015. Bangladesh is among only six countries in the world that have reduced by half or more their child mortality rate since 1990 (from 151/1000 in 1990 to 65 in 2007). The infant mortality rate has also significantly declined to reach 52 deaths per 1000 live births in 2007 from 117 deaths/1000 in 1990. Despite these inroads, challenges remain. While the mortality rates have improved overall, major inequalities among the population need to be addressed. The under-five mortality rate is 86/1000 for the poorest quintile while the richest quintile records only 43/10001. The recent Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey conducted in 2009 also shows huge geographical disparities with the least performing district, Sherpur, recording 102 deaths...
