Welcome Juniors

As the academic session for the year 2011-12 began and life became more taxing at XL, Team SAPPHIRE was back with a bang with the Ice Breaker event for the Junior batch. Held on the 25th July at 2200 hrs at our very own Father Prabhu Hall, it was open to both the HRM and BM batches and saw a huge turnout being attended by over 100 participants.

The event was designed to capture the essence of HR and its related fields. Conceptualized and compiled by the senior SAPPHIRE team, it had tempting cash prizes to be won:,

1st prize: Rs. 3000

2nd prize: Rs. 2000

3rd prize: Rs. 1500

The event began with a mind-boggler of a quiz containing questions on all aspects of the Human Resource Management. And if the teams thought that was kind of tough (as could be gauged from quite a few agonized expressions!), it was followed by a group task where the teams were provided with the profiles of 13 candidates for the post of a manager and then had to choose the best amongst the potential candidates after identifying the required KSA’s for the job based upon job analysis. Each team thus picked one candidate. After that they were thrown into new groups comprising of 1 member from each team and the participants were required to brainstorm and come to a consensus about the order of the candidates suitable to the post of the manager.  This led to some extremely heated discussions and some serious out of the box thinking as all the participants tried to vouch for their chosen candidate as the best suitable candidate for the job! Budding recruitment guru’s are a plenty at XL for sure!  And finally, the teams were given a brain-tickling crossword to solve.

All in all, it turned out to be a fun-filled affair where the participants were enthusiastically engaged in discussions and proved to be quite a learning experience for the ‘potential managers’.  

The results were declared the next day and the following teams emerged as winners !!!!
