This SlideShare provides a framework for how companies can adopt new human resources management policies and work environments which will appeal to the unique values of Generation Y. It also serves as a reminder that satisfying the unique needs of Gen Y is essential for a company to recruit and retain talented employees. Because the number of Gen Ys is almost four times the size of the number of Generation X, it is in an organization’s best interest to take heed of the implications of this study.
This presentation explains the importance of knowing your three skills sets: occupational skills, transferrable skills, and soft skills. Included are skills checklists and resources so you can know your skills and communicate your value to any employer.
I developed the game "Multitasking Infection" to show managers that multitasking can have severe effects not only to themselves but especially to their teams. in addition this game aims to make anyone aware of the negative effects and how to deal with them successfully.

Most of us find ourselves multitasking at some point and are possibly even proud of our multitasking skills. This presentation includes a game (link on last page) plus some discussion questions and ways to combat multitasking in your organization.
Job characteristic model: a great tool to design jobs an important step to find right match between you and your employer. it helps to motivate and encourage employee to complete his task and responsibilities. Helps to solve some vital issues of HR
1. No hardcore plan: In the past years, I have tried a lot planning my day and abiding by it, but frankly, it never worked for several reasons. So, what I did this time is i just defined the tasks that I want to accomplish by the end of the day, and also where I am at the beginning of the day. Once this is done, I could easily define to-do-steps to achieve it.
2. Say bye to multitasking: I have accepted that multitasking is something which isn’t for me. It takes approximately more time to finish the tasks separately than doing simultaneously. This might be true for you as well, so just give this a try for few days to identify that.
3. Step towards deadlines: Make sure that everything you do would lead you to completion of the tasks.
4. Stop overcommitting: Out of excitement, we sometimes overcommit (atleast I do this), and this is another reason why we are not productive. So, don’t do this, make realistic expectations and delegate tasks accordingly.
5. Cell phone’s amazing feature: We use our cell phones for so many things, but how many of you have tried the timer in it? Try using it guys, I was really amazed to see that it actually helps in accomplishing tasks on time.
6. Use ‘How’ instead of “I can’t”: You login to your system today morning and see piles of work. What would be your reaction? Will it be “Oh shit! I can’t do this!” or “How shall I do this?” Well, it’s all in thoughts, give it a try before accepting defeat. I tried, and it worked.
7. Facebook & Watsapp can wait: All your social sites can wait to give you updates. Atleast shut off all your distractions when you are doing the tasks, it won’t be difficult to complete it then. Trust me!
8. Define “No Talking Time”: If your co-workers are also one reason for your distractions, then tell them clearly that you have assigned no talking time for this much period and they shouldn’t bother you for anything.
9. Enough sleep: With all this planning and everything, you need to relax your mind and take proper sleep. Since the time I am working on these secret productivity tricks, I am actually taking approx. 8 hours sleep.
10. Workout: I have joined aerobics classes again. I can feel the energy again which was lost somewhere. It feels so good when your body is fit; you can actually feel confident. I am not asking you to join aerobics, but do say yes to some sort of workout, be it a morning walk in a breezy morning.
11. Eat healthy: Food is also one factor that would increase your productivity. Oily food can actually make you lazy and feel sleepy. So eat healthy and work fresh!
The Secret tip: Be helpful and offer a helping hand to everyone who needs you. Yes, I mean it! Once you’ll help others (be it your coworkers and some difficult project) you’ll feel beautiful and motivated. And then your own tasks would look simpler to you. Try doing this!

Predicting potential - Assessing Cognitive Ability in RecruitmentGavin Lamb
Employees with strong cognitive ability are a competitive advantage to an organisation - particularly when they are in
roles that require quick learning, first-time problem solving, thinking ‘on your feet’ and dealing with ambiguity. People who
score well on cognitive ability tests are more likely to develop a greater knowledge of the job more quickly, make effective
decisions and successfully reason and strategise to solve problems. In fact, a landmark study reviewed 85 years of research and found that higher cognitive ability is linked with higher productivity and performance.

Simplified presentation of a larger effort which has proven to be very effective in tying together Engagement, Lean, Leadership, and several Quality influences and outcomes. The great miss of most organizations is disregard for or minimalising the importance of people and their influence on profitability, competitiveness, sustainability (of organization and even whole industries), while obsessing over materials (commodities) costs (which remain the same for all competitors).

Globalization, generational shifts, new attitudes towards work and the consumerization of IT are driving business leaders to reconsider the best ways to recruit, train and manage their precious talent.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
