Your Confidence in HR Matters

We also offer add-on courses on practical HR to students undergoing regular programs in Human Resource Management. These add-on courses increase their employability by building confidence to face practical HR issues boldly, like any experienced Personnel/ HR Officer.
Doing Business with Ease
Marketing and finance are the principal focus areas of any business.
Since the production or service function is aligned to marketing and financial aspects, the top management will be mainly interested to know the results of these two departments. At the same time, managing the people at work is very complex and requires specialized knowledge to avoid running afoul of the law.
The small and medium business owners may not have that knowledge, and thus make mistakes in giving offers or signing contract of employment with the employees, pay structuring, paying statutory contributions, succession planning and documenting certain happenings which may become very crucial in decision making about the employee’s continuance or discontinuance in the organisation.
In many organisations policies and mandates that define the employeeemployer relationship may not be available or are ill drafted. Not only do these gaps in knowledge create risk for the company and cost money, they also mean that business owners spend more time than necessary on these tasks.
Outsourcing these functions of HR/Personnel department frees up your time to focus on other priorities.
DefusIR will shoulder your requirements of Recruitment, Compensation Management, Performance Appraisal, Training and Development and all IR issues.
Making the management degree holders more employable
The Corporate world needs young talents who can put in novel ideas to be implemented. All of them require the best at par with any experienced professional.
It is unfortunate that the PG curricula at many business schools are strangled in classroom lectures on theories and concepts focused on examinations that they do not get time to teach their students what to do at their future workplaces.
It is true that in academics, curricula should be given priority over the others.
But we are equally answerable to the Recruiters who would ask for employable managers with useful ideas and skills.
Business experts also feel that the B-schools should focus not on curricula and research but on providing students with skills that they could use for the benefit of their eventual employers. But often the academic calendar is so packed that the faculty members find it very difficult to accommodate Practical Training Programs in it. It is a struggle between Curriculum and Imparting Industrial Experience or Practical training.
DefusIR can assist you to make both to happen. Faculty Members can continue to impart curriculum based sessions whereas DefusIR will make the students employable by imparting industry experience to them.
The program offered by DefusIR will be an add on course jointly certified by the B School concerned and DefusIR.
