JOYFUL Working 5 or JW5 is the mantra by which LG employees live. Based on five factors; stress, communication, leadership, target setting and working hours, the idea is to\u00a0 eliminate the existing issues pertaining to the above factors and bring fun at workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, it is a small wonder that employees, who report at 8.40 a.m., begin their day with exercise and yoga, bracing up for eight hours of fun at work. The recruitments at LG takes place directly and through campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Campus hiring is for both engineers and management trainees. A total of 50 colleges are on the panel of LG. Last year the company visited 35 campuses to hire 130 freshers. These are MTech and MBA students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hiring process starts from August for both the lines of requirement. \u201cRight now my department is busy hiring,\u201d says Dhal. The students presented with offer letters in August, 2010 will join onboard from July 2011. The induction programme usually begins on July 1, each year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students are selected on the basis of group discussion, after which they have to appear in psychometric test, followed by one round of interview and conclude with another round of personal interview. \u201cThey are given offer letter on the campus,\u201d Dhal says. The factors assessed in the interview are students\u2019 degree of intellectual awareness, drive for performance, levels of adaptability, ownership and passion. \u201cTo sum up, it\u2019s the attitude, aptitude and field knowledge that is evaluated,\u201d says Dhal.
