There are 12 main ways in which the workplace environment can impact engagement.

1. Meaningful work
Employees perceive the organization’s larger purpose through products or services produced, consider their work to be worthwhile and are proud of their individual actions and contributions that help the organization serve its customers.

The Benefits of Culture Aligning with Strategy

1) The company’s most important values and strategic objectives are understood by everyone – in the way the CEO intended. Think about it. The CEO has in mind precisely what the company needs to achieve (objectives) and what behaviors/actions will be tolerated and encouraged (values) in getting those results. Too often, however, those objectives and values are lost in translation as the message is distorted as it gets communicated down through the ranks.

1.Think about your employees strengths! Most managers worry about what their people are doing wrong. A natural concern, but it kicks off a demotivating spiral. To build motivation, remind yourself what each employee's greatest strength is.

2. Don't use motivation methods that don't work. When you keep telling employees what to do and they keep messing up, who's being stupid? Some might say doing the same thing over and over, when it obviously doesn't work, isn't too sharp. Yet we often do just that, trying the same supervisory behaviors over and over and getting more and more frustrated when they don't work.

Key learnings:

* Talent is becoming scarce and also getting circulated more
* herefore, keeping the exit process a memorable one has become important for all the good reasons

This week’s mailer discusses the importance of parting on a good note, and shares a few pointers on how to give the send-off.

Tips to help in focusing on your objectives and be successful.

One of the challenges you face in your professional life is to prioritize what you should do and to know where you need to focus your energies. Some of us are lucky to get all the resources, money and equipments required achieving our objectives, but most of us don’t have all this available.

“When life gives you a lemon, make a lemonade.” We all have heard this famous inspirational problem- solving quote and learned how to deal with problems. But how many of us actually think before solving the problem that whether a problem really exists or is it just a framework of our mind and soul. While working in the corporate world we come across various situations. It depends upon us to take those situations as secure or vulnerable ones. We usually assume and start working accordingly. In fact, one should step into the situation, diagnose it and move ahead rather than just assuming the situation. Here I would like to put a short story reflecting this idea:

Based on my HR experience and observation, I have done a deep study on all the above matter and had meeting with our workmen again & again and lastly reached on a final conclusion that is a new participative and productive program totally based on day-to-day communication and based on mutual problem solving called QUALITY CIRCLE

When the economy is slow all people with great hair get the best jobs! As the economy picks up there aren’t enough pretty-haired people around to fill in positions.

Companies will prefer recruiting those with a high sense of humour!
