Lost in Translation!

Recently a website has been launched http://ruwiray.in, which aims at converting exciting stories in vernacular languages (primarily telugu) into english. There are a lot of ethnic Indians, residents and non-residents alike, who frequently visit the web to read about their country/state and its culture in English. However, there is a lack of quality writing on the internet to benefit the netizens. Though there are lot of English language newspapers based in the state of Andhra Pradesh, but their material is no match to the analysis and depth of Telugu language articles and short stories. This means there is a big gap between the readership demand and literature supply, which this website seeks to bridge.

Even people who are non-Andhraites can easily follow these stories in english and get a good insite on the Telugu language and culture.

This website will be sort of an online literary journal with translated content providing insightful analysis about society, politics, and movies through its non-fiction category and enjoyable leisure reading through its short stories.

Total Rewards – Matching the organizations expectations with the employee’s aspirations

The need to think beyond just compensation With the IT industry having an optimistic outlook for the year ahead, the competition between organizations for attracting and retaining talent is going to be high. Hence apart from just direct compensation, programs like work-life balance, career development and performance management are crucial business responses for the ever changing workplace. Organizations that are interested in maintaining a diverse workforce, retain experienced and knowledgeable employees and attract new talent cannot afford to overlook the value such programs bring to balance the concerns of today’s workforce.

The uniqueness about this program is that: a) We do not take referrals only for published (open) positions but also for perennially required niche positions/skills, b) Unlike many other referral programs, which just pays a one-time referral bonus, we also pay the employee a bonus amount when their referred candidate completes six months (1st milestone) and one year (2nd milestone) of service with Four Soft, and c) We generally do not use employee referral for hiring anyone in the post of a Manager or upwards designation.
