fire anyone in the company right from the
chairman and down. By simply spending his
money somewhere else”
- Sam Walton ( Founder of Wal-Mart)

management therefore it is vital that the senior
management is involved from the beginning process.

Screening Employees –
Need of the hour
Learnings:
• Background screening has quickly become a
standard practice in many organizations across
the world.
• Organizations are continually on the lookout for
new ways to mitigate their risks.
• Researching the histories and stated capabilities
of employees is always a sound business practice.
• There are many articles in news now a days about
employees faking their documents to get jobs .
• Many also fake their CVs specially the freshers.
Why Screening?
• Compliance : employers consider background checks as
part of their ongoing safety and security program.
• In sectors like IT/ITES, employees are not assigned
projects of outside companies until their screening
report comes out clean.
• Better safeguarding organizational assets : background
screening can minimize the possibility of theft and
corporate espionage.

minimize possibility of violence at workplace by
checking the past criminal records.

following:

4.
Researching Exit
Interviews
Learnings :
• When it comes to the process of exit interviewing
and surveying it is easy to find lots of information
and opinions.
• Researching exit interviews tells us the arears in
which these interviews are useful and what the
typical problems tend to be.
Common usages of exit interviews
• The most effective exit interviews and surveys are
utilized to accomplish goals in 3 areas:
• Diagnosis and strategy
• Public relations
• Positive separations
Common problems with exit interviews
• Under – utilization :
• Too often, such tools are mere symbolic
gesture
• When dissatisfaction is expessed by an
existing employee there is often no feedback
to the management.
• Methodological :
• Questions being asked are not driven by any
particular purpose
• Ambiguous questions asked leading to
multiple interpretations.
• Deception :
• Exiting employees are not motivated to give
controversial, personal or inside information that
could endanger future choices.
• They may want references from the employer at
a later date.
• They may be trying to protect those who still
remain with the company.
Best Practices
• Make a real commitment to the process
• Have a clear, objective approach
• Use methodical, scientific approaches
• What’s the ROI?
• Know what are the expectations for the
organization’s return on the investment.
• Each user should be able to determine how much
the process has impacted their unit directly.
• Its not over when its done
• Exit interview process needs ongoing monitoring
and revision to bring about excellent results
• Most critically, the data needs to be used.
• Else it is essentially a waste of time and money
and should be discontinued.
5.
Types of E-businesses
Learnings :
• E- Business : Any business that involves
internet as a platform to inform and promote
for a business.
• Any business that communicates to
consumers using the internet.
• Types of E- businesses
• Informative : corporate websites, educational
institute websites etc
• Business : Essentially E- commerce
• Social platform : facebook, twitter etc
• Business – Broad categorization
• B2B – Business to business
• B2C – Business to consumer
• C2C – Consumer to consumer
• C2B – Consumer to business
Why do we need to categorise?
• We need this differentiation as
 Customers are different
 Different customers have different needs
 Different people have different skill sets to run
different kind of businesses
 Each business have their select customer base.
Another Way to look At E-Commerce
1. Physical / tangible Goods
- From pins to television
2. Digital Goods
- Movie / Music downloads, wallpapers, e-books
etc
3. Services
- Billpay, travel ticketing, insurance premium etc
Companies in E- commerce space use either or a
mix of all or some
Eg: 1. Ebay.com to tradus.com
2. Hungama.com
3. Billdesk.com
Newswire
1.FOSSIL OPENS ASIAN FLAGSHIP
• This article says that Fossil group has opened its
flagship store in Asia.
• The flagship is located at the Shoppes at Venetian
Macao, designed and developed by StartJG.
• The store integrates interaction elements to
encourage customer engagement beyond the
physical retail environment by incorporating
digital platforms for customers to interact with.
This includes a photo kiosk where customers can
take and share photos of their purchase, audio-
visual walls, a social pix wall and a dedicated
gifting area.
• StartJG also developed a bespoke WSI brand
book for its staff to empower them to get closer
to the brand.
• It is now being used to put the brand values and
vision into action by allowing them to talk about
the brand story and encourage customers to
interact with not only the product but also the
digital features in the store.
• The over-arching goal was to elevate the retail
brand and experience to match and enhance the
quality of the products that WSI design.
• The result is a retail concept that really
encourages exploration, and inspires purchase
through story telling and engagement.”
2.CANON INDIA BETS ON ‘CANON
GURUS’ TO BEAT ONLINE SPACE;
PLANS 150 STORES BY YEAR END
• Camera-brand Canon India pvt ltd is planning to
roll out a key initiative to enhance the role of staff
members under Version 2.0 plan 2014.
• The brand is betting on 'promotional training' in
order to improve its sales through brick-and-
mortar formats.
• Calling them as 'Canon gurus', the staff would be
trained in photography and the minor details of
the products thus, augmenting them as
professional advisors to the customers who walk-
in the stores.
• The effort is to give better reason to the
customers to visit stores and choose the right
product after taking expert advice rather than
buying products online.
• The company is also planning to grow its retail
presence in tier2 & 3 cities with an average stores
size between 400 and 600 sq ft. By the end of
2014, the brand plans to have total of 150 stores,
with current number at 113 stores.
• Canon India is growing at the rate of 10% y-o-y
and aims to achieve business of Rs 2100cr by the
end of 2014. Last year, it closed at a total of Rs
1910 cr.
3.COLA MARKETING
• This article talks about the cola marketing in New
Delhi.
• It says, the cola category has moved many
generations of brand-think over the last several
decades in India.
• From basic product to functional product to
cosmetic USPs to emotional highs and more.
• It has traversed Hollywood, Bollywood and
Tollywood, cricket, golf, hockey and more.
• It has moved from simple straightforward
messaging to fun and humour that is raw.
• The innovations will now occur when the
category fights to establish itself as a staple
beverage with deep per capita consumption.
• Today, colas are a fringe player in the beverage
segment. As they aspire to deepen per capita
consumption numbers in India, the biggest
paradox to crack is the fact that a cola
competes not with another cola alone.
• The cola competes with every unnatural
drink. With every natural drink. And most
importantly with the mother of them all
drinks: water.
4.ONLINE EYEWEAR RETAILER
LENSKART HITS ROAD WITH BIKERS
TO REACH CUSTOMERS
• Online eyewear retailer Lenskart is sending out
optometrists on bikes equipped with eye-tesing
equipment to consumers in their homes, the
latest example of ecommerce companies'
growing sophistication as they try out innovative
strategies to expand the market.
• The initiative was rolled out in Delhi last week
and will be launched in Bangalore and other cities
in this fiscal.
• "Almost 75% of those who need glasses do
not know they need one," said Peyush Bansal,
the 30-year-old founder of Valyoo
Technologies that runs Lenskart. "We want to
expand to this market and provide access to
good quality eyecare."
• The company hopes to sign up over 100
optometrists in Delhi in the next few months
and do 1,200 eye checkups a day in national
capital.
5.CUSTOMER SERVICE IS KING
• Customers know whether or not they can
trust you simply by the way you service them,
and usually on the small issues.
• Let's face it, handling big problems for your
customers will always make you try harder.
After all, if it's a big problem you know full
well that they'll be watching closely.
• There are some basic "rules", if you will, when
it comes to handling mistakes or mis-steps.
• 1- Always be honest.
• 2- Offer a concession of some kind right on the spot.
• 3- Follow up.
• Never ever take your current customer base for
granted. Do that and watch how fast the door slams in
your face.
• While that commercial provides a good lesson about
customer service it should also be a reminder to you to
keep the lines of communication between you and
your customers open.
• Mouth publicity is more than paid advertisement when
your clients speak about your service to others
• And that’s how we get new customers through
recommendations.
• And in the end, isn't that what it's all about?
6.HERE COME THE ROBOTS IN RETAIL
• This article gives, The big news in technology in
retail in 2014 and beyond is robots replacing
humans.
• Starting just this week, right across the road from
Apple in Cupertino, the Aloft hotel is testing
robotic bellhops.
• As reported in the New York Times, the cute-as-a-
button ‘Botlr’ will deliver basic items from the
front desk to your room.
• Best of all, no tips necessary, but positive tweets
appreciated
• In a world where humans are relatively
expensive, robots in retail make sense.
• Google is spending hundreds of millions of
dollars purchasing companies withexpertise
and IP in robotics and artificial intelligence.
The tech giant’s well-publicised experiments
with self-driving cars are all about removing
people from the picture.
• Of course, with every trend is a counter trend.
As the robots roll in, living, breathing, smiling,
human beings will be a differentiator in retail’s
future.
7.ITC PLANS DIRECT SUPPLY IN 1 LAKH
VILLAGES MOVE TO BYPASS
WHOLESALERS, STOCKISTS
• ITC is revitalising its distribution strategy for
fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) with a
greater focus on supplying products directly to
retailers.
• This involves an ambitious target of directly
reaching out to one lakh villages which
account for 80% of India's rural consumer
goods consumption.
• ITC's rural push, especially of premium FMCG products,
bypassing wholesalers and stockists matches the scale
of market leader Hindustan Unilever (HUL), which last
year launched a 'Perfect Village' initiative to increase
sales of categories like hair conditioners, face wash,
body lotion, fabric conditioner and liquid hand wash in
villages.
• HUL covered 8,500 villages in eight states last fiscal
year and plans to further scale up the programme.
• At present, ITC directly services more than 20 lakh
outlets, based mostly in urban and semi-urban areas.
Companies like GSK Consumer Healthcare too have
adopted initiatives to expand rural sales.
• According to a report from market tracker Nielsen,
aspiration of consumers in Indian villages now matches
that of their urban counterparts. For instance, sales of
toilet soaps grew 18% in rural India last year compared
with 8% in cities
8.RELIANCE RETAIL SHIFTS FOCUS TO
PROFITABILITY

format segment, bring global brands to the Indian

  • 20. • What comprises ‘social media’ • Network of family, friends, acquaintances & work associates • Your network & network of your connections • Facebook, Twitter – sharing messages, videos, chats and games. • Instagram, pinterest – sharing pictures and information • Linkedin which is a more professional approach in social media where people share circles and talk about their professional fortes.
  • 21. Key Components – why attractive for marketing? • Ease : its very easy to use social media. • Speed : the speed in this is highest compared to other media used in marketing. • Reach : the reach is also infinite. • Reliability : we can be reliable with regards to this channel of media. • Cost effective : the cost effectiveness is more than any other media since it has organic and paid both options.
  • 23. Learnings : • Systems consists of processes and sub processes which are inter related and form a system. • “There is only one boss – The customer, He can fire anyone in the company right from the chairman and down. By simply spending his money somewhere else” - Sam Walton ( Founder of Wal-Mart) • There are many sources of standards for implementation of quality management systems. • Following are a few examples:
  • 24. Components of standard development Multiple information sources • Scientific literature • JCI standards • UK healthcare standards • Thailand standards • AHA draft standards • Individual input from field experts and key stake holders • ISO 9001-2000
  • 25. • To implement a Quality Management System (QMS) we first need to apply for one. • Before applying for a QMS we need to buy a copy of it and get familiar to it by reading it carefully. • There are many soft wares and software tools available in market that can be purchased and used to understand, implement and become registered to a QMS. • We should begin the entire implementation process by preparing our organization strategy with the top management. • Responsibility of a QMS lies with the senior management therefore it is vital that the senior management is involved from the beginning process.

  • 28. Learnings: • Background screening has quickly become a standard practice in many organizations across the world. • Organizations are continually on the lookout for new ways to mitigate their risks. • Researching the histories and stated capabilities of employees is always a sound business practice. • There are many articles in news now a days about employees faking their documents to get jobs . • Many also fake their CVs specially the freshers.
  • 29. Why Screening? • Compliance : employers consider background checks as part of their ongoing safety and security program. • In sectors like IT/ITES, employees are not assigned projects of outside companies until their screening report comes out clean. • Better safeguarding organizational assets : background screening can minimize the possibility of theft and corporate espionage. • Help promote safety : background screening helps minimize possibility of violence at workplace by checking the past criminal records.
  • 30. What to screen? A background check can incorporate any or all of the following: • Educational background • Employment history • Criminal records • Address verification • PAN card/ Passport verification • Drug test • Reference • Credit history • Infinite screening
  • 31. Whom to screen? Conducting a background check on below individuals is a sound business practice. • Prospective and current employees. • Extended work force – temporary and contract staff. • Executive level and other high profile candidates. • Drivers and security staff.
  • 33. Learnings : • When it comes to the process of exit interviewing and surveying it is easy to find lots of information and opinions. • Researching exit interviews tells us the arears in which these interviews are useful and what the typical problems tend to be. Common usages of exit interviews • The most effective exit interviews and surveys are utilized to accomplish goals in 3 areas: • Diagnosis and strategy • Public relations • Positive separations
  • 34. Common problems with exit interviews • Under – utilization : • Too often, such tools are mere symbolic gesture • When dissatisfaction is expessed by an existing employee there is often no feedback to the management. • Methodological : • Questions being asked are not driven by any particular purpose • Ambiguous questions asked leading to multiple interpretations.
  • 35. • Deception : • Exiting employees are not motivated to give controversial, personal or inside information that could endanger future choices. • They may want references from the employer at a later date. • They may be trying to protect those who still remain with the company. Best Practices • Make a real commitment to the process • Have a clear, objective approach • Use methodical, scientific approaches
  • 36. • What’s the ROI? • Know what are the expectations for the organization’s return on the investment. • Each user should be able to determine how much the process has impacted their unit directly. • Its not over when its done • Exit interview process needs ongoing monitoring and revision to bring about excellent results • Most critically, the data needs to be used. • Else it is essentially a waste of time and money and should be discontinued.
  • 38. Learnings : • E- Business : Any business that involves internet as a platform to inform and promote for a business. • Any business that communicates to consumers using the internet. • Types of E- businesses • Informative : corporate websites, educational institute websites etc • Business : Essentially E- commerce • Social platform : facebook, twitter etc
  • 39. • Business – Broad categorization • B2B – Business to business • B2C – Business to consumer • C2C – Consumer to consumer • C2B – Consumer to business Why do we need to categorise? • We need this differentiation as  Customers are different  Different customers have different needs  Different people have different skill sets to run different kind of businesses  Each business have their select customer base.
  • 40. Another Way to look At E-Commerce 1. Physical / tangible Goods - From pins to television 2. Digital Goods - Movie / Music downloads, wallpapers, e-books etc 3. Services - Billpay, travel ticketing, insurance premium etc Companies in E- commerce space use either or a mix of all or some Eg: 1. Ebay.com to tradus.com 2. Hungama.com 3. Billdesk.com
  • 42. 1.FOSSIL OPENS ASIAN FLAGSHIP • This article says that Fossil group has opened its flagship store in Asia. • The flagship is located at the Shoppes at Venetian Macao, designed and developed by StartJG. • The store integrates interaction elements to encourage customer engagement beyond the physical retail environment by incorporating digital platforms for customers to interact with. This includes a photo kiosk where customers can take and share photos of their purchase, audio- visual walls, a social pix wall and a dedicated gifting area.
  • 43. • StartJG also developed a bespoke WSI brand book for its staff to empower them to get closer to the brand. • It is now being used to put the brand values and vision into action by allowing them to talk about the brand story and encourage customers to interact with not only the product but also the digital features in the store. • The over-arching goal was to elevate the retail brand and experience to match and enhance the quality of the products that WSI design. • The result is a retail concept that really encourages exploration, and inspires purchase through story telling and engagement.”
  • 44. 2.CANON INDIA BETS ON ‘CANON GURUS’ TO BEAT ONLINE SPACE; PLANS 150 STORES BY YEAR END • Camera-brand Canon India pvt ltd is planning to roll out a key initiative to enhance the role of staff members under Version 2.0 plan 2014. • The brand is betting on 'promotional training' in order to improve its sales through brick-and- mortar formats. • Calling them as 'Canon gurus', the staff would be trained in photography and the minor details of the products thus, augmenting them as professional advisors to the customers who walk- in the stores.
  • 45. • The effort is to give better reason to the customers to visit stores and choose the right product after taking expert advice rather than buying products online. • The company is also planning to grow its retail presence in tier2 & 3 cities with an average stores size between 400 and 600 sq ft. By the end of 2014, the brand plans to have total of 150 stores, with current number at 113 stores. • Canon India is growing at the rate of 10% y-o-y and aims to achieve business of Rs 2100cr by the end of 2014. Last year, it closed at a total of Rs 1910 cr.
  • 46. 3.COLA MARKETING • This article talks about the cola marketing in New Delhi. • It says, the cola category has moved many generations of brand-think over the last several decades in India. • From basic product to functional product to cosmetic USPs to emotional highs and more. • It has traversed Hollywood, Bollywood and Tollywood, cricket, golf, hockey and more. • It has moved from simple straightforward messaging to fun and humour that is raw.
  • 47. • The innovations will now occur when the category fights to establish itself as a staple beverage with deep per capita consumption. • Today, colas are a fringe player in the beverage segment. As they aspire to deepen per capita consumption numbers in India, the biggest paradox to crack is the fact that a cola competes not with another cola alone. • The cola competes with every unnatural drink. With every natural drink. And most importantly with the mother of them all drinks: water.
  • 48. 4.ONLINE EYEWEAR RETAILER LENSKART HITS ROAD WITH BIKERS TO REACH CUSTOMERS • Online eyewear retailer Lenskart is sending out optometrists on bikes equipped with eye-tesing equipment to consumers in their homes, the latest example of ecommerce companies' growing sophistication as they try out innovative strategies to expand the market. • The initiative was rolled out in Delhi last week and will be launched in Bangalore and other cities in this fiscal.
  • 49. • "Almost 75% of those who need glasses do not know they need one," said Peyush Bansal, the 30-year-old founder of Valyoo Technologies that runs Lenskart. "We want to expand to this market and provide access to good quality eyecare." • The company hopes to sign up over 100 optometrists in Delhi in the next few months and do 1,200 eye checkups a day in national capital.
  • 50. 5.CUSTOMER SERVICE IS KING • Customers know whether or not they can trust you simply by the way you service them, and usually on the small issues. • Let's face it, handling big problems for your customers will always make you try harder. After all, if it's a big problem you know full well that they'll be watching closely. • There are some basic "rules", if you will, when it comes to handling mistakes or mis-steps.
  • 51. • 1- Always be honest. • 2- Offer a concession of some kind right on the spot. • 3- Follow up. • Never ever take your current customer base for granted. Do that and watch how fast the door slams in your face. • While that commercial provides a good lesson about customer service it should also be a reminder to you to keep the lines of communication between you and your customers open. • Mouth publicity is more than paid advertisement when your clients speak about your service to others • And that’s how we get new customers through recommendations. • And in the end, isn't that what it's all about?
