HR Management - The management process of an organization's workforce

                                  

HR Management is the management process of an organization's workforce, or 

human resources. Hiring and retaining skilled people for critical roles is extremely 

important. With competent people at the right places in a critical phase of a 

company, achieving business goals becomes more likely. A motivated workforce 

capable of effectively and efficiently completing those tasks will help the organization 

achieve its overall objectives. Hiring a competent and reputed HR Management 

company is the surest way of climbing the ladder of success. Firms are generally 

not equipped to handle many HR functions.

IRIS-Corp empowers your enterprise with customized HR solutions. We specialize 

in seamlessly integrating your various processes and giving your business the 

technological edge needed to manage projects for various business segments in 

the rapidly changing scenario.  Our consulting teams design customized strategies 

which are way ahead of traditional business models.

A Talent Management Company - Driving Performance

The basic question is, “What are the talent requirements of tomorrow’s business 

and how can companies build their own comprehensive talent model”. 

Talent Management Companies have revolutionized leadership transformation by 

developing companies’ management and leadership talent at all levels of the 

organization.The role of Talent Management Companies is to integrate new 

workers and develop and retain existing employees in organizations. It is also to 

identify the crucial factors that will prepare people for critical roles more quickly 

and effectively. Strategic talent that is crucial to sustained success needs to be 

groomed and dealt with in a special way. You need to benchmark your people 

against outstanding performers in order to make the best staffing decisions 

and transform and align your leaders to match your strategy. Remember, wrong 

selection of talent limits or damages performance and growth of the best 

businesses. 

” The essential tools of talent management are not acquired overnight. They are 

the result of sustained efforts which Talent Management Companies have 

cultivated over a long period. “....says Archana Jerath : VP-Talent Acquisition,

A Lesson on Office Etiquette - All Managers Should Follow!!!

When you are a manager you are supposed to lead by example, unfortunately there are quite a few of them who don’t.   So it’s not just our employees who need to be taught about office etiquette.  Our managers need to learn how to use proper office etiquette too. The manager who has problems with their employees following office etiquette, needs educating too.

Here are a few tips for the manager who needs a lesson in office etiquette:

• Treat employees, coworkers, and senior management in a polite and professional manner at all times.

• Never yell, argue, or discipline an employee in public. (In front of other employees/staff/management/visitors)

• Do not curse at anyone, at anytime. (Manage by example)

• Always speak and write in a polite and professional manner. (Free from slang and cursing)

• Dress appropriately and professionally at work. (This includes work related functions off site)

• Be a manager who is available to your employees. (Answer questions, train, and mentor them)

• Acknowledge employees when they do a good job.

• Be responsible and respectful of other people’s time. (Arrive to work and appointments on time, notify correct individuals if you are going to be delayed/late)

If you are a manager who needs to brush up on office etiquette, the suggestions above may just benefit you. Office Etiquette - All Managers Should Follow ...Says Sanjay Kapoor : Director & CEO, Iris-Corp 

HRO Services - A full range of HR services is not only difficult to manage in a firm, it is prohibitively expensive.

                   

These are times when competition is fierce and the ordinary will just not do. The service industry has grown in leaps and bounds. Companies which lead the pack in HRO services are those which understand what it takes to deliver consistently great customer experiences. IRIS Corporate Solutions is one of them. Being connected with us gives you a wide range of options and choices and puts you in charge of your human relations affairs.

A full range of HR services is not only difficult to manage in a firm, it is prohibitively expensive. Few businesses can afford to indulge in this luxury. IRIS-Corp provides you with personalized and professional HR services with up-to-date expertise whenever you require it, at very competitive costs. Most medium and big firms need a wide range of affordable, effective HR support services. Businesses, in order to remain in good shape, feel an insatiable need for pre-hiring and recruitment solutions, employee leasing options, recruitment process outsourcing, payroll and compliance management and backend support in multiple domain areas.

HRO services help companies to grow to the next level and manage their business interests efficiently. We help you foster a culture of excellence in all your operations. By outsourcing non-core HR operations, your company gets time for reflection on key achievements during the year gone by, and for planning and objective setting for the coming year. Your HR Manager can assess key priorities, and align future activities to meet these aims.

"Access to HRO services and dedicated HR consultants opens up possibilities which pave the way for business success. Good businesses always need to hire and retain a workforce which is ideally suited to their needs. Reputed HR service providers will work with you to ensure that your team is carefully selected and meets the needs of your organization. Businesses big and small need development and strategizing of their policies and procedures to meet the changes in the organization, or identifying the training needs of their team. Unless these needs and challenges are addressed timely, firms can find themselves out of sync with times sooner or later. That is why it is imperative to align with a company like IRIS-Corp which has multiple delivery options in extending HRO services." says Archana Jerath, VP - Talent Acquisition : Iris Corporate Solutions

HR Shared Services : prompting firms to strategize increasingly to optimize cost of transaction processing...

                               

Changing market and economic forces create unique needs. Bottom-line 

efficiency is more in evidence when firms use shared services for HR 

functions that do not need full-time manpower. The range of HR solutions 

is ever widening, prompting firms to strategize increasingly to optimize 

cost of transaction processing. There are unmatched advantages in cost 

of delivery which makes shared services an exceptionally good option. 

IRIS Corporate Solutions leads the way to increased cost savings, 

improved process efficiency and creating a pathway for better organization 

of all activities.

The first visible advantage of aligning with IRIS-Corp is integration, 

standardization and optimization of transaction processing and management 

reporting. The dynamic relationship generally starts in areas pertaining to 

manpower recruitment, benefits administration, payroll and personnel 

management. A marked reduction in transaction intensive tasks leads to 

renewed focus by firms on their business strategy. Customized HR services 

provide flexibility, carve pathways to increase and improve cost transparency 

and business process efficiencies while reducing total cost of ownership. 

Making shared services live up to expectations needs expertise and is fast 

becoming a challenge. Firms looking to outsourcing merely as a tool for cost 

cutting may be sorely disappointed. Delivering outcomes is what shared 

services are designed for. Focusing on customer satisfaction and creating 

gateways to business success is the correct way to make use of shared 

services. Setting the right direction for your company's sourcing needs can 

lead to achievement of business goals, making optimum use of customized, 

tailor made solutions. 

HR shared services enables firms to redefine performance benchmarking.  

Having access to such services provides sourcing executives with the 

insight they need to make informed business decisions.  New innovative 

service offerings help businesses getting an insight into their clients’ needs. 

Intricately planned initiatives will help eliminate duplication and streamline 

operations, deliver a consistent service, enhance security, and facilitate 

program delivery.

IRIS-Corp strikes a perfect balance when it comes to partnering with you in 

on-boarding, providing backend support or managing your helpdesk. We play 

a strategic role in transforming your business model. Our delivery model has 

proven its worth by cutting administrative costs, reducing transaction errors 

and generating greater employee satisfaction with basic HR processes. HR 

shared services has stepped into an era in which it has assumed real 

significance.....says Miti Sinha : AVP - Enterprise Solutions, Iris-Corp

Lessons You Learned in High School That Still Ring True in the Workplace

How to Co-Relate High School Life with Workplace: 

1. Fake it until you make it : 

Whether it was walking through the front doors of your high school for the first time or 

trying out for the school play, there were plenty of times in high school when you felt 

out of your comfort zone. The bad news is those feelings still happen in the 

professional world.

But the same advice you were given to overcome your fears and project confidence can 

still save your booty at the office. Don’t misrepresent your skills or knowledge, but don’t 

sell yourself short if you don’t know the answer to every question when you’re 

put on the spot.

2. Tardiness isn’t tolerated : Even though most offices don’t have a tardy bell, you can 

bet someone is taking note of who shows up late and who skips out early. Attendance is 

a basic tenet of all schooling, and that’s because — like it or not — it matters. Forever 

Showing up on time is a sign of respect, courtesy and responsibility.

3. Don’t be a mean girl : Bullying, petty competition and vicious gossip aren’t left 

behind with bad cafeteria food and unrequited high school crushes. Whether you were 

poked fun of for your braces or you were the one who did the poking, tearing other 

people down never helps you get ahead.

4. Prank at your own risk : Everyone loves the class clown, right? Well, maybe not. 

Pulling off the perfect office prank may be your Holy Grail, but it’s not always viewed 

in the best light. In high school, you might be able to get away with never taking anything 

seriously and humiliating others in the name of laughter, but at work, being known 

as the office jester can work against you.

5. Where you sit matters : Where you sit on the first day might be where you’re stuck 

all year — and in the conference room, as well as the classroom, the seat you choose 

can say a lot about you. It’s a delicate balance between looking like a suck-up and 

seeming completely disengaged (slackers only in the back row!).

If you’re looking to move up the career ladder, be strategic. Observe what other 

leaders in your company do in meetings and follow suit. Sit near the person leading 

the meeting, sit up straight and take notes — no checking your email or sneaking in a round 

of Words with Friends.

6. Jump in and have some fun : Remember how your parents pressured you into taking 

up the trombone and joining the marching band? Do you also remember the awesome friends 

you made and how you can honestly start a story with “This one time at band camp”?

What you didn’t know when your folks coerced you into joining is that it’d make 

your life better.The same phenomenon happens at work. Look for opportunities to be on the 

party committee, help with a service project or bring that killer dessert you make to the next 

potluck. You’ll strengthen your relationships and gain clout with the higher-ups.

7. Focus on what you love : One of the best parts of high school was having more control 

over the classes you took. If you loved photography, you had a slew of classes to take, and 

you could even put your skills to work on the school paper or yearbook. There’s no reason 

to stop doing what you love after high school.Whether you become the unofficial office 

photographer or go into graphic design where photos are part of your job description, it’s 

important to find work you can be passionate about.

INTERVIEW STRATEGIES - Preparing for a strategic conversation; engaging in a focused debate....Sanjay Kapoor,Director & CEO : Iris-Corp

Preparation for an interview begins with a well-designed CV. Unless you are called 

for an interview, how can you devise an interview strategy? Recruiters call 

candidates for an interview only if they are impressed by what they see on their 

table. No matter how well groomed you are for the job you have applied for, if your 

CV does not say it forcefully, you will not receive an interview call. Prepare yourself 

for an interview by getting a professionally designed CV which speaks on your behalf 

before you make an appearance in front of the interviewing panel. Typically, your CV 

gets just 7-10 seconds for being considered worthy of procuring an interview call 

for you. Tuning up your CV should be your paramount concern if you want to get an 

interview call.

Your job at the interview is to sell yourself ahead of others who have come for the 

same purpose. Different companies demand different attributes. Therefore, it would 

be a good thing to conduct some research about your prospective employer. More 

importantly, you have to convince the interviewer of your being the most suitable 

candidate for that particular job. Your accomplishments (enumerated in your CV) 

should match the expectations of the company and your avowals at the interface 

should be unequivocal. Your success lies solely in your ability to convince the 

interviewer that you are tailor-made for the job. 

Since you will not get a second chance, do not hesitate to speak your heart out, but 

do not sound boastful. A practical approach is always preferable. Be prepared to 

answer the questions that are most likely to be asked at almost every interview:

· What are your goals in life

· Why do you think you are suitable for this job

· How can you make a difference if you are hired

· What are your greatest strengths / weaknesses

· Tell us what you have achieved in your earlier jobs

During the interview, be relaxed, look interested and wait for the interviewer to finish 

his/her question. Assess your interviewer’s mood, tone and inclination to listen to 

reasoning. Be concise but do not miss out on giving important information. The most 

important things in any interview are confidence and positivity. Of course, knowledge 

about the role is a pre-requisite. Never be found wanting in any of these.

IRIS-Corporate Solutions, a 360 degree HR consulting service provider, has handled 

scores of interviews.  We have dozens of effective interview techniques up our 

sleeves. When you come to Iris-Corp, you are fully equipped and ready to face any 

interview panel. We teach behavioral skills which will help you market yourself better 

and unleash your full potential. 

"Preparation for an interview requires a mix of confidence, presence and wits.Of 

course you must know your value proposition and why you belong here. The best 

way to prove your worth is to let the interviewer know how you are different from other 

candidates. Iris-Corp evaluates you as an individual and brings out the qualities in you 

that are latent. Do not be surprised if we tell you more than what you know about 

yourself. That is why we are leaders in framing interview strategies says Mr. Kapoor".
