(From The Washington Post) — They call her India’s Miss Manners, and she is at the heart of a multimillion-dollar industry to make Indian companies more competitive globally by improving their workers’ social skills. Pria Warrick has become the guru of graces for a new generation of call-center techies, chief executives, animation artists, MBAs and Bollywood film stars, all of whom are helping drive India’s rise as a world economic power but sometimes without a certain polish. “Backs straight! Napkins on lap. Great. Class, cut your burger neatly,” Warrick told a class of young Indian professionals, methodically performing fork-and-knife surgery on a McAloo Tikka patty — a spicy potato burger from McDonald’s — as practice for dining in Europe and the United States. Warrick’s school is part of a fast-growing trend in corporate India to remedy what analysts and recruiters call a serious impediment to India’s global economic goals. Although many skilled Indian workers have degrees from top universities, analysts said they are often jaw-droppingly inept at the basics of international workplace etiquette: dressing properly, hosting a meeting, making inoffensive small talk and even using cutlery. Fearing that such deficiencies are hurting India’s leadership potential, companies are spending millions of dollars on corporate finishing school for tens of thousands of workers. In many cases, those workers are products of India’s burgeoning middle classes who are the first generation in their families to enter the nation’s booming and globally minded economy. Read more.

(newsroom.melbourne.edu) Only 38 per cent of Generation X, tertiary qualified women participating in a long-running University of Melbourne study work full-time, compared to 90 per cent of Generation X, tertiary qualified men. The findings are among the latest to emerge from Life Patterns, Australia’s longest running study of the lives of young people. Professor Johanna Wyn, Director of the Melbourne Graduate School of Education’s Youth Research Centre, leads the study. She says Australia’s lack of family-friendly workplace policies is toblame for the low participation rates of highly qualified women in the workforce. “When we started this study in the early 90s, young women who had gained tertiary qualifications were the most likely of any social group to put the highest priority on gaining a career position. “If we fast-forward to 2010, the majority of these same women are no longer participating in the workforce. Indeed, full-time employment for women, 13 years after leaving secondary school, is inversely related to level of educational qualifications. “We have a mis-match between educational and workplace policies. While our young women are encouraged to excel academically, when its time to start a family, there is very little support available from employers and more traditional attitudes to gender roles seem to prevail. So unfortunately, we find our workforce losing huge numbers of talented individuals.” The study shows workplace policies have also taken their toll on the health of Generation X. Comparisons with a similar Canadian study show Australians report much higher levels of poor mental and physical health. Read more.
