Also they should implement the same and follow the principle of " We do what we say, we say what we do." Thanks Ankur http://managehrnetwork.blogspot.com/ Hi all,

I agree to the statements above and would also appreciate organisations across globe should understand and implement this.

Also they should implement the same and follow the principle of ” We do what we say, we say what we do.”

Thanks

I'm sure there is enough real material out there so that we could have a neverending list: -Don't say "empower" when you really mean delegate with strings attached. -Don't say we have an "open door policy" when there are ramifications for the employees who dare enter the big boss's office. -Don't say "we have values here" when employees who ignore them are promoted anyway. Wow. This is too easy. There must be a lot of talking and not a lot of walking going on in the corporate world. We in HR should set the standard for doing, not just saying. This is good.
