Whistleblowers are individuals who report any misconduct that has occurred within the organization to external parties.

MPS stands for Motivational Potential Score.

Headhunters are recruiters who actively seek out top candidates for specific job positions.

A mobile worker is someone who is able to work remotely or on-the-go, often using technology to stay connected.

Posting job ads without disclosing the employer's identity is a common practice used by some companies to maintain confidentiality in the hiring process.

GE likely refers to General Electric, a multinational conglomerate.

Well Samir & Aakrit, if you both can't make the effort to answer, then please don't spoil the interest of others. If you both are so intelligent and find it stupid, then I request both of you to answer it for yourselves and kindly refrain from sharing your views on this thread if you don't want to see it in the top ten.

Sad to see such replies. Really not expected from HR professionals like you both.

Hi,

Please find some of the answers that I found for your questions:
  1. In HR parlance, who are 'Whistle-Blowers' ?
A whistleblower is a person who alleges misconduct. More complex definitions may be used, but the issue is that the whistleblower usually faces reprisal. The misconduct may be classified in many ways; for example, a violation of a law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to public interest, such as fraud, health/safety violations, and corruption.
  1. Expand MPS, a scale used to measure the overall potential of workers' intrinsic motivation and used in the Job Diagnostic Survey developed by Richard Hackman and Greg Oldham?
Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS)The MPS scale measures three trait dimensions of perfectionism—self-oriented, other-oriented, and socially prescribed—to help your clients understand their behavior. It explores the motivational, interpersonal, and cognitive aspects of perfectionist behavior and relates those characteristics to mental and physical health problems, relationship problems

4. What's the term used to describe an employee who is not tied to one country or company but moves around?
CONSULTANT

6. What are "Blind Ads" in HR parlance?
Blind Ads – An online posting or classified ad that doesn’t identify the company and typically direct replies to a P.O. Box number

Ronald Reagan

Hi Vijeta,

It's really good and interesting.

4. What's the term used to describe an employee who is not tied to one country or company but moves around? The answer is mobile workers.

5. Name the process of certifying the competence of a person, an employee, in an area of capability? I think performance appraisal.

6. What are "Blind Ads" in HR parlance? Blind ads mean the organization will hide the company name and its details. They just mention the vacancy details and address for communication.

10. What are 'Cafeteria Benefit Programs'? It's nothing but benefits given to the employees to refresh them during work.

Send the answers soon, Vijeta. Eagerly waiting for your reply.
