Each year some organization breaks new ground on HR policies and perfect implementation. This year it is the turn of Netflix. They have embarked upon an extremely liberal employee leave policy as well as a twelve month parental leave. As part of organizations’ talent management efforts however, the basics must never be ignored. Grocery or petrol discounts, movie tickets and health insurance retain their paramount importance. Employees’ expectations must be made clear, well aligned with the overall corporate strategy. They must be accorded engaging profiles alluding to respective positions. Mobile phones and tablets can come in very handy for such engagement exercises.
