Nepotism as a word and as a practice has not been appreciated to a larger extent except for some countries like Japan and Korea- where communism takes a lead. Otherwise bringing a herd of your own is not welcome.
Looking at it from the corporate perspective brings the oxymoron “Referrals”. Referral is nothing but nepotism of a different league. This worthy point was highlighted in an HR forum convened by Dr. Indira Parikh. Different but true. In fact this sort of nepotism is well payed to the employees and in return brings windfall gains to the company- which benefits from the people of similar attributes getting an entry into their so called culture. Where does the strategy of “Innovation” fit in now? When people are not so different- can you expect a higher level of differentiation with regards to your work?
Being a member of fraternity which keeps citing lack of talented pool in market- i would not dare to reduce the benefits conferred upon by this practice but does it really fit into company’s policy of Equal Opportunities of Employment and Non Discrimination- Not Very Sure????
