What and who represents your company? What is the distinct feature that makes your organization stand at a different level higher than the rest?

Of course,your people,your staff and the management group that handles the pattern,behavior,exposure,growth and planning of your concern are the ones representing your firm.

The three level system consisting of the lower management,the middle management and the senior management form the base of any company to run in a successful way. It depends on the efficiency of the person in these levels and also on the co-ordination of the employees among themselves.

An organization having people of great caliber and potentials can be at a loss if the people in that talk do not possess the quality of working together as a team and always are head on with every other person for any issue arising .

“A company hiring certain hard-core professionals out of a belief that masters of certain specialized areas will provide their company with good solutions or find a way to market their products globally or can enhance the output of their production is nevertheless like having a dream “.

Every individual besides being a professional is a person possessing his own traits and behavioral pattern.This pattern should be compatible with the working methods of the system or should be advantageous to the company.If there has to be a change in the prevailing format other than the one running in the company, it will have certain frictions arising within the core,but not a collapse of the infrastructure.

Many organizations suddenly replace their hired top personnel out of a notion to accommodate the best talents available in the industry and still go around with losses in spite of having the best people with them.

“A degree of any specialized field will make one well versed with the nomenclature and thorough with the ideal ways of working that is explained in the books,but wont teach a person ,how to deal in certain situations of crisis which are unique and exceptional in every case irrespective of any country. The work experience ,the thought process , overall thinking and managing ability of the person shall endear to the perfect solution.”

Remember what we had learnt in school is the basic knowledge,life taught us the real ways of living. So the ones who used to sit in the last benches of the school are top businessmen of our times, for they know the real art of running a company and have not stuck to any predefined written methods. They may hire excellent people to represent their company on certain levels and to know the views and suggestions of the so-called intellectuals.But remember the wisest of all always listens to the people around him , but he does what his heart and mind proclaims.

For an organization to run smoothly with success by achieving the profits and earning a repute , it is essential to have a combination of people merging together and blending the top brains with the wise heads and the excellent performers.

One who cares for the organization as much as he does for his career,the individual having a real connection for the company for which he is working and who has the sense of thinking alive in him to bring about the best from his team and their efforts is the one who can take the organization to a different strata.

Core Job of Middle Managers: Dealing with the Exceptions (orangearchipelago.wordpress.com)

In pursuit of happiness we all move from one place to another .Sometimes changing jobs,sometimes changing places in the quest to be happy and to seek happiness.We often misinterpret it as growth in our life where we try to convince ourselves the jump from one company to another shall facilitate growth in the career graph,whereas sometimes we tend to lose our identity in knowing ourselves after getting confused over the kinds of job.

Truth is we need stability as well as the comfort zone of our working,anything that beyond our comfort level isn’t neither acceptable nor welcomed by us.But the fact remains we do not progress until we step out of that comfort ring.To stay in a place,a career,a company for long should depend on the amount of satisfaction,contentment and progress we have in that particular job.Growth does not only mean a promotion but it involves an overall growth of the person as an individual,which enhances ,his work circle,intelligence level, general awareness,behavior and the courage of taking risks.Simultaneously the change in place,career and job should also bring upon happiness mentally else such a change or such a stagnant form shall deform,stagnate the person in mind.

A change in job should be for the sake of getting more exposure and responsibilities to be delivered which you are capable of and weren’t getting in the older organization,for staying in such a place than rust your active mind,but the jump only for the sake of getting paid more isn’t the solution for a restless mind.The sense of insecurity shall always creep in,because you yourself know how much and what you deserve.

There is always a deserving level of a person and the person himself knows it better.Expecting to get more than deserved is merely cheating self or live in a false illusion.

Attrition is today’s serious topic wherever corporate or any organization speaks about their growth and stability.

To be able to sustain its efficient employees with satisfaction is a huge gigantic task in itself,for humans tend to get attracted by mere illusions and better pay packages.The level of attrition nowadays is much more than it was earlier ,few years back.The reason being very simple,the increasing number of opportunities,the desire to achieve more within less time,easy ways of earning more money but very seldom due to any typical atmosphere in the organization. Problems within the management,quality,production departments is very common in every company,but this doesn’t lead to any change or switch over of job.

Neither the inability to perform suddenly results in such a behavior,its more of an inconsistent behavior of an individual whose mind dangles between the two ends where he is incapable of sticking himself to any place or thought.Such a person if at all leaves an organization,it will be better for the progress of the company to let him go. These growing percentage of attrition can be controlled well by the HR departments of the organization which a play a very vital role in such corporate structures. While recruiting these personnel can well assess the mental psychology of an individual and any person reflecting a flickering mind with an inconsistent pattern of work profile can be termed under such category.

The main reasons for attrition are :

A better pay package and good job profile.
Desire to grow faster by any means.
Loss of interest in the type of work and company.
Monotonous work .
Change of place ,city.
Bad organizational structure.
Frustration
Insecurity of self in the present job.
Insufficient growth or incentive structure .
Lack of Motivation
Lack of communication with the leader/superior.
Personal Problems.

An organization grows,flourishes with the progress and growth of every individual working in its system.To ensure this a balanced,transparent,healthy relationship between the company and its employees should be incorporated.

A contended and happy mind never flickers irrespective of certain troubles and is always helpful in creating a healthy work environment.

So the function of HR in any organization demands it to be more dynamic and activated . It should understand the role of its presence and should be able to deliver the results perfectly. It thus is called human resources which can go into the depth of the very reason of attrition.
