The talent management is more of giving due to importance to the star / high performing employees while knowledge management is more of sharing the work style and technologies.

What is talent management

The talent-management concept applies the 80/20 rule , meaning 20% of an organization’s top employees yield 80% of its positive results. This suggests that employers must treat A-level executives — those who drive and deliver superior results on a consistent basis — in an exceptional and individualized way. This occurs throughout an executive’s complete life with an organization: from his or her initial hire to development, evaluation, reward systems, retention and succession planning.

Talent management defined:

It is sometimes assumed that talent management is only concerned with key people the high flyers. But everyone in an organization has talent, and talent management processes should not be limited to the favoured few, although they are likely to focus most on those with scarce skills and high potential.

Talent management process

The key talent management processes are:

*developing the organization as an ’employer of choice’ a ‘great place to work’;

*using selection and recruitment procedures that ensure that good quality people are recruited who are likely to thrive in the organization and stay with it for a reasonable length of time (but not necessarily for life);

*designing jobs and developing roles which give people opportunities to apply and grow their skills and provide them with autonomy, interest and challenge;

*providing talented staff with opportunities for career development and growth;

*creating a working environment in which work processes and facilities enable rewarding (in the broadest sense) jobs and roles to be designed and developed;

*developing a positive psychological contract;

*developing the leadership qualities of line managers;

*recognizing those with talent by rewarding excellence, enterprise and achievement;

*succession planning ensuring that the organization has suitable people to fill vacancies arising from promotion, retirement or death;

*conducting talent audits which identify those with potential and those who might leave the organization.

what is knowledge management

Knowledge management is a business activity with two primary aspects:

Treating the knowledge component of business activity as an explicit concern of business reflected strategy, policy, and practice at all levels of the organisation. Making a direct connection between an organisation intellectual asset both explicit (recorded) and tacit (person-know-how) and positive business results.

In practice, knowledge management often encompasses identifying and maping intellectual assets within the organisation, making vast amounts of information accessible, sharing of best practices , and technology that enables all of the above including gruopware and intranet.

Knowledge management defined:

Knowledge management involves transforming knowledge resources by identifying relevant information and then disseminating it so that learning can take place.

Knowledge management is any process or practice of creating, acquiring, capturing, sharing and using knowledge, wherever it resides, to enhance learning and performance in organizations. It focuses on the development of firm specific knowledge and skills that are the result of organizational learning processes.

The contribution of HR to Knowledge management

HR can make an important contribution to knowledge management simply because knowledge is shared between people; it is not just a matter of capturing explicit knowledge through the use of information technology The role of HR is to ensure that the organization has the intellectual capital it needs. The resource based view of the firm emphasizes, that ‘distinctive human resource practices help to create unique competencies that differentiate products and services and, in turn, drive competitiveness’.

These are ways which HR can contribute:

The main ways in which HR can contribute to knowledge management are summarized below:

#Help to develop an open culture in which the values and norms emphasize the importance of sharing knowledge.

#Promote a climate of commitment and trust.

#Advise on resourcing policies and provide resourcing services which ensure that valued employees who can contribute to knowledge creation and sharing are attracted and retained.

#Advise on methods of motivating people to share knowledge and rewarding those who do so.

#Develop processes of organizational and individual learning which will generate and assist in disseminating knowledge.

#Help in the development of performance management processes which focus on the development and sharing of knowledge.

#In conjunction with IT, develop systems for capturing and, as far as possible, codifying explicit and tacit knowledge.

#Set up and organize workshops, conferences, seminars and symposia which enable knowledge to be shared on a person to person basis.

Obesity is a major health challenge worldwide. Apart from known health hazards such as heart disease and diabetes, it can also prevent sexual intimacy and may ruin your social life, experts say. India is home to the third-highest number of obese and overweight people, according to recent reports.

Obesity is categorised on the basis of BMI, which is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height and is universally expressed in units of kg/m2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres.

Further, apart from the physical intimacy, obesity may also affect the social life, as overweight or obese people are more prone to being bullied, humiliated or ostracised. They are also more likely to engage in bullying behaviour.

The fear of bullying may also lead them to exercise less and stay indoors.

Obesity creates a negative self-image. An individual feels demotivated and there’s lack of self-confidence. Such people are unable to accept their weight and their size can leave them sleeping single in a double bed,” Deep Goel, Director (Department of Bariatrics) and Gastrointestinal Onco Surgeon, BLK Super Speciality Hospital, told IANS.

Human beings are social animals, and the tenor of someone’s social life is one of the most important influences on their mental and physical health. Without positive, durable relationships, both minds and bodies can fall apart.

As humans, social interaction is essential to every aspect of our health. Research shows that having a strong network of support or strong community bonds fosters both emotional and physical health and is an important component of adult life. Over the years, there have been a number of studies showcasing the relationship between social support and the quality of physical and psychological health.

Obesity is a social issue. An overweight person may worry about what others think. When people judge you unfairly, it can make you feel like it’s your fault. Well-meaning parents, siblings, or friends can sometimes make things worse by making “suggestions” about food or exercise. These good intentions may come across as criticism. Some teens that are overweight are teased or bullied.

Teasing and bullying can make you feel sad or embarrassed. Fear of being judged or rejected might make you shy away from people. You may stop doing things you enjoy. But the best thing to do is to take your mind — and other people’s — off your weight and back onto you as a person. The most common way to determine if a person is overweight or obese is to calculate body mass index (BMI). BMI is an estimate of body fat based on comparing a person’s weight to his or her height.

So it clearly shows that weight discrimination is a part of the obesity problem and not the solution. So, everyone, including doctors, should stop blaming and shaming people for their weight and offer support, and where appropriate, treatment because when confidence fades and self-esteem takes a beating, it’s harder to stick with a weight loss program.

Discriminating against slim, overweight or obese, people does not help them to lose weight. In fact, the embarrassment, humiliation and stress they feel from such discrimination are likely to cause them to gain weight not to lose weight.

Previous research has shown that people who are stigmatized for being overweight are more likely to engage in behaviour that promote obesity, including problematic eating, avoidance of physical activity and a refusal to restrict their food intake.

conclusion

Obesity can lead to sudden death, heart attack, diabetes and may unwanted illnesses. Stop it by making healthy choices.

serious measures are to be taken to fight against this dreadful phenomenon that is spreading its wings far and wide. Giving proper education on benefits of staying fit and mindful eating is as important as curbing this issue. Utmost importance must be given to healthy eating habits right from the small age so that they follow the same until the end of their life.

Black Racers are very fast-moving, non-venomous, black snakes with a bluish cast to their scales. Other local common names for this handsome snake are Black Runner, Blue Racer, and Blue Runner.

Most Racers do not enjoy being handled. Black racers eat mostly mice and rats, so are extremely beneficial snakes to have around.

Racers move very quickly and can be out of sight in the blink of an eye.

Black Racers hunt down their prey. They move quickly along the forest floor, with their head held high, always alert. When prey is detected, Racers quickly grab it and swallow it whole, sometimes while it is still alive.

The “constrictor” in their scientific name is a misnomer. I suppose, it was once thought that they squeezed their prey, but now scientists know that they don’t. However, the name stuck.

Notice the hint of blue where the sun is hitting the scales of this young Black Racer. This is why some people in Louisiana call them Blue Runners.

There is also a species of Racer which inhabits other parts of the United States which is called the Blue Racer. Common names can be deceiving, with different species being given the same common name or with the same species being called different common names in separate locations.

The odd looking “kinked” posture of this individual is often seen. Some believe that this is a defense mechanism. They look a lot like a fallen branch.

Another defensive reaction is that when threatened, if running away is not successful, they will hide in the brush and rattle their tails in dry leaves, sounding much like a rattlesnake.

Very young black racers are marked differently from the adult of the species. The young are speckled with black, white and tan spots. As they age, they darken into adult coloration.

Black Racers have a reputation for biting when they are caught. It seems that they develop this defense mechanism very early in life.

efinition of corporate social responsibility (CSR)

Movement aimed at encouraging companies to be more aware of the impact of their business on the rest of society, including their own stakeholders and the environment. 

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a business approach that contributes to sustainable development by delivering economic, social and environmental benefits for all stakeholders.

CSR is a concept with many definitions and practices. The way it is understood and implemented differs greatly for each company and country. Moreover, CSR is a very broad concept that addresses many and various topics such as human rights, corporate governance, health and safety, environmental effects, working conditions and contribution to economic development. Whatever the definition is, the purpose of CSR is to drive change towards sustainability.

Although some companies may achieve remarkable efforts with unique CSR initiatives, it is difficult to be on the forefront on all aspects of CSR. Considering this, the example below provides good practices on one aspect of CSR – environmental sustainability.

Example

Unilever is a multinational corporation, in the food and beverage sector, with a comprehensive CSR strategy. The company has been ranked ‘Food Industry leader’ in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Indexes for the 11 consecutive years and ranked 7th in the ‘Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World’.

One of the major and unique initiatives is the ‘sustainable tea’ programme.  On a partnership-based model with the Rainforest Alliance (an NGO), Unilever aims to source all of its Lipton and PG Tips tea bags from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms by 2015.  The Rainforest Alliance Certification offers farms a way to differentiate their products as being socially, economically and environmentally sustainable.
