TCS to
conduct IIM Bangalore’s exams for online courses
Talks
are also on for joint hosting of a management educators’ hub.
Indian
Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) has joined hands with technology giant
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). The B-school will leverage the technological
capability of TCS arm iON to conduct exams for its open online management
courses which run across the country.
iON is well known for its assessment capability. IIM Bangalore will utilise this capability to successfully run the exams through its digital zones thrice a year, in Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai.
The online open courses, which are taught across schools, are similar to the offline courses which the B-school runs on its campus.

Reigning cats and dogs: Companies try new ways to combat work stress
Office pets
seems to be the new mantra in employee stress management.
From bright office designs to more frequent
breaks, companies are now finding newer and innovative ways to deal with
work stress. Office pets seems to be the new mantra in this area, with
some organisations providing pet-care leaves and others even allowing employees
to get their pets to work.
Recently, a Scottish firm introduced a week-long leave for its staff to enable them to ‘bond’ with their new dogs, while a Japanese firm came up with an ‘office cat’ policy.
Japan, known for its workaholic and stressful culture, has most businesses struggling to find ways to relieve employee stress. Tokyo based IT company Ferray found its stress handling mantra in cats.

Toronto-based startup aims to
become Uber of talent acquisition
The
Gig economy model offered by Curasion involves temporary positions,
independent/freelance workers and short-term contractual engagements.
The human resources industry is going through
various digital disruptions which are changing the way employers hire, retain
and develop new talent. Curasion Inc., a startup based in Toronto, aims to
disrupt the process of talent acquisition by using Uber’s ‘Gig economy’ model
for enterprise hiring and recruitment.
‘Gig economy’ means an environment where there are always temporary positions and companies contract with independent/freelance workers for short-term contractual engagements.
The business model of Curasion works by connecting the Fortune 500 companies, which it calls the eager customers, to the pool of independent talent, who are paid on per-contract basis.
