This means instead of SMS less, we could send full formatted “alerts” on mobiles. But what about convenience of reading?

E-mail on mobile phones – big deal

 

U Mobile, U R…

E-Mail Mobile

BUSINESS mobility is the buzzword and mobile phones with e-mail access ensure you can read mail anytime, anywhere. Over the past three years, the SMS-based e-mail on mobiles has evolved into a far more convenient and efficient service.

Today’s mobile devices allow users to receive, read, respond to and forward e-mails on the move. With a lot of data and text information being exchanged daily, e-mail has become the preferred form of communication for both personal and business use.

Mobile phones now support full-featured e-mail clients, enabling users to view attachments, images, and formatted text. Some devices even allow synchronization with desktop mail applications.

This transformation has been driven by improved networks, better handset capabilities, and enhanced software platforms. The mobile phone is no longer just a communication device — it is increasingly becoming a personal information manager.

Sruti Nayani explains how the convergence of e-mail and mobile technology is changing the way people work and communicate. Devices today integrate voice, data, and messaging into a single platform, enabling professionals to stay connected at all times.

The convenience of receiving real-time alerts, managing schedules, and responding instantly to business communication has made mobile e-mail indispensable, especially for executives and frequent travelers.

As data speeds improve and handsets become more powerful, the distinction between computers and mobile phones continues to blur.

BP recruiters get real about staff stability

When volatility grips the job market, HR professionals in the BP sector are getting realistic about employee stability, and are now open to hiring those who show commitment rather than frequent job-hopping.

Earlier, recruiters tended to equate frequent job changes with ambition and growth. But in the current economic environment, stability is increasingly being viewed as a positive trait.

Employers now recognize that frequent movement between companies does not necessarily translate into higher productivity or loyalty.

 

CHANGE IN STRATEGY

• Stints of 12 months are being accepted as reasonable tenures
• HR professionals feel short stints and scorecards of talent will help evaluate real potential
• Delivery and performance have replaced loyalty as the sole criteria, but stability still matters
• Candidates willing to commit longer are preferred

 

Recruiters say candidates with an average tenure of 12–18 months across roles are no longer automatically disqualified, especially if they demonstrate skill progression and value addition.

“Earlier, multiple job changes raised red flags,” says a senior HR executive. “Now, we look deeper — at roles, responsibilities, learning curve, and results.”

 

Some companies are also experimenting with tenure profiling, assessing whether a candidate’s moves were driven by career growth, project completion, or external shocks rather than impulsive switching.

 

Industry View

HR consultants say the slowdown has forced companies to rethink hiring benchmarks. The focus has shifted from where you worked to what you delivered and how long you stayed to complete meaningful work.

 

Key Insight

The BP recruitment mindset is moving from job-hopping suspicion to contextual evaluation, balancing stability, skill, and outcomes.
