Hi Friends,

I was shocked to hear the news of the death of Mr. Roy George. Such barbaric acts by workers should not be allowed anymore, and the culprits have to be brought before the law. I pray to the almighty to give courage to his family members, and may his soul rest in peace.

Hi Friends,

It's a very sad incident which exposes the risks associated with the HR profession. NHRD Hosur Chapter has arranged a condolence meeting yesterday where members assembled, condemned the barbaric act, and prayed for the departed soul. May God give his family the strength to overcome the grief.

I too am shocked to learn of such a barbaric incident. It is sad but has also made me very angry. People take HR for a ride. They consider HR professionals to be soft, which is not a fact and should not be one. We always talk about development, but when we mention development, we mean make-believe people development. HR should not work under pressure or fear but should allow people to believe in discipline. There should be no compromise on discipline. Firm leadership with strict policy implementation should be the focus after this incident. I am too angry to stop my rage.

This incident should also serve as a case study for us and should be a challenge to handle IR problems/issues. We need to focus on the Industrial Relations front with more application of our thoughts, minds, and with utmost courage and boldness so that the union or anybody should never dare to think of causing any physical harm to any HR professionals.

Let us pray for the departed soul of George and vow together to give fitting replies to such incidents without fear.

Dear friends,

Don't blame the city or its culture. Coimbatore is the pioneer in setting standards for Tamil Nadu in HR. The management of Pricol had adopted some bad practices which have led to this situation. Basically, being in India, you have to live with certain discrepancies, and anything cannot be changed overnight. If a meaningful dialogue with the union could have taken place, things would have been better.

Let us all pray for the departed soul to rest in peace.

May his soul rest in peace.

We may also pray for the speedy recovery of the other injured persons.

Are the other injured persons also HR persons? What is their present status? Does anybody know about that?

Hi Kannan,

Yes, the others who were injured are people from the HR department. The VP's cabin is just close to the HR people's place. It was after lunch, a few HR members were also with him in his cabin discussing certain issues when these people walked in and tried hitting him. Others tried to stop them and, in the process, got hit. However, their target was Roy George.

[QUOTE=Ash Mathew;890033]Hi Kannan,

Yes, the others who were injured are people from the HR department. The VP's cabin is located close to the HR area. It was after lunch when a few HR members were in his cabin discussing certain issues. When these individuals entered and attempted to harm him, others intervened, resulting in them also getting hurt. However, their target was Roy George.

I fully agree that the death of Mr. Roy George is a loss to the entire HR fraternity. It is a very sad incident, and as a student of MBA (HR), this issue is a hot topic in our lectures, with students becoming concerned.

The discussions so far have raised many questions: If HR personnel were leaving Pricol within one year of joining, why didn't the management take any action? If the union problem had persisted for the last 2.5 years, why did the management need such a gruesome incident to take notice? Even after many days since the incident, what is the government doing, and what actions is the management taking? These are the burning issues that require answers.

Regards,
Parul
