 S N MURTHY SENIOR ADVOCATE The Indian laws with regard to flexibility of employment is very harsh on the employers. In its anxiety to protect the security of employment in private sector, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was amended during the year 1976 with introduction of Chapter V-B.

An organization must guarantee that the HR Department delivers a written or verbal response to all candidates who were not selected after attending an interview.

Fostering a psychologically safe workplace is the foundation that enables a great attitude to flourish. From this attitude, great behaviors emerge, paving the path for remarkable actions and ultimately, transformative results.
In the fast-paced and competitive world of business, organizations often prioritize performance metrics, profit margins, and market share. While these are undoubtedly essential aspects of success, there's another, often overlooked, factor that can significantly impact an organization's long-term health: Psychological Safety.
