good news. But also put some analysis. Why so many exits from Reliance in HR. They had no work or could not create any work.
might be as a result of common phenomena, as HR is becoming suggestion box, no freedom to work in such a high expertise job.
Nowadays, it is becoming fashion to provide lots of suggestion about how HR professionals or hr should work
This is my personal view, with no intention to harm anyone.
Seeems future HR is no HR.,..RLKumar
