Hello Nithya
Thanks for sharing such nice articles. It is always nice to share the information and it is equally important to give the link or source of your information. Because, in the absence of that…it might look like that…you do all the hardwork and someone else get the promotion and increments. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
Regarding your articles…that you have shared in recent past…for some of them…these are the actual links:
Performance Management System: When Expectations Are Not Clear
Roles for HR-Professionals in New Economy ... 21st Century
<link outdated-removed>
Gossiping and Its Effect on Performance Management System

Stay in touch and take care
