    Now that the Boss has placed his hand over his shoulders, the man will now move from an ‘Needs Improvement’ to an ‘Outstanding employee of the organisation’! All thanks to one gesture.

      Good cartoon… but let me understand in a lighter vain …Outstanding means ‘Standing Out’ of the organization or extraordinary employee ?Boss ke sath dusmani bhi mehengi aur pyar bhi mehenga? I read the HR Katha regularly and like many contents. The name HR Katha is very innovative and interesting . Thanks and congrats for the good inputs!!! regards, Shriniwas Rairikar,
