Workplace Stress And Burnout
Business Manager|March 2017

Human Resource needs to rethink its bell curves, talent pools, career progressions & succession plans. Much like Arjun who saw nothing but only the bird's eye, the Humanity Quotient can be a point of focus. Much can be tapped & seeped into from the mythological knowledge banks with an advantage of being a part of one of the world's oldest civilization.

Workplace Stress And Burnout

Elevating the humanity quotient of HR in a world less loved.

With the world moving towards digitization, Machine seems to be overtaking Mankind with its unsurpassable ability to learn and accomplish, far more, in perfection. Artificial intelligence seems more intelligent than its human counterpart. Amidst the noise of crowd sourcing, business strategy, tactics & operations planning, HR with its practices and policies seems to be playing a referee in the world of corporate politics. Where Talent in a pool seems to be racing twice as fast to be able to sustain oneself in a category of star performers, high potentials, key performers or be on the fast track in an attempt to tread the limelight yet keep away from being an outlier.

What seems more important in the daily churn being a part of the never-ending rat race, is achieving the best which is the very nature of the mindset. Gaining name & fame, chasing after the self-created pursuits which one tends to strive for more the more one attains. In this fast-paced cosmopolitan lifestyle perform or perish, do or die seem the only ways of survival. In this game called globalization, international boundaries seem to vanish turning the world into a global village, continuously building pressure with population and pollution nonetheless. Compelling Mother Nature to shrink to dangerous limits seems to be a minuscule matter, not rather thought of, even though it poses a threat to our very existence. The world seems to be caving into a black hole phenomenon of stress.

Maintain Neutrality Based On Competency & Capability

The most effective rule in managing up and down however, is being authentic. Authenticity in intent, that builds trust - because once this core factor is there, there is nothing that is required to be 'managed' in the natural order of things.

Future Of Performance Management

Is it about managing performance, or managing the behavior that will produce the performance? And if it is indeed about influencing the person so that he has clarity of agreed outcomes and the support available to him to achieve these, are organizations doing lip service to it or are they serious about the process?

How I Started And Nurtured My Startup..!

How I Started And Nurtured My Startup..!

Coming from a service class family, I had no idea of business. I had no one to turn to for the basics. I got in touch with some consultants; none of them knew the entire process of getting all the approvals. We were very clear, we did not want to start on the wrong foot, and we wanted to be 100% compliant. I did face many challenges at various stages e.g. in just few months of launch, the competition tried to pull us down, however the issue was resolved soon. Teacupsfull now is a fully registered brand. Challenges do prop up many times, however the key is to stay positive and never give up. There is always a solution to every problem.
