FRIENDSHIP

“FRIENDSHIP” is the most beautiful and the most trustful relationship in the world. True friendship makes one to develop his/her personality, but a fake friendship makes one to degrade him. Many people doesn’t know about the value of Friendship and often misuse the relationship and pretends to be a genuine friend. Today both men and women are leading a mechanical life and they do not have enough time to share their thoughts, therefore it’s good to have true friends at least in the working place. One should choose a good friend who is reliable and trustful and who helps ultimately in solving the problems rather than creating it. Merely talking with others and collecting personal information from them and spreading it to each and everyone is the habit of some fake friends and it is not at all advisable to continue the relationship under the title “Friendship”. One reliable friend is better than to have too many fake friends. Sometimes people are not conscious about the fake friends around them. Sometimes we may forgive enemies but one could not forgive a friend who is not trustworthy. A good friend is one who encourages his friend at difficult times giving hope to succeed in future. Friend in a working place must be more than an ordinary friend because an unreliable person being a friend will create so much trouble both professionally and even personally. One should be very careful and cautious in making new friends in the working atmosphere. Especially women must be more careful and cautious in making friends after knowing the other side (friend). Friend must not only be a friend but sometimes he must be a mother and sometimes he must be a father and sometimes be a good critic. If one has blessed with such qualities then he will be a good friend for all.

The LPO Edge over BPO’s


This is the story of two brothers, LPO and BPO vis-à-vis Legal Process Outsourcing and Business Process Outsourcing. BPO is somewhat 15 years elder to his sibling. Both seemed to be similar to common people of India. One fine day Mr. Recession came in and thwarted the BPO industry. Lay offs, shut downs and mayhem everywhere. Come on, but the new guy seemed to be still growing. That’s when the common man noticed how the LPO is different from his elder bro.

Unlike the BPO’s who ate out of the success of the businesses, the LPO has food whether businesses thrive or fall. Man!!! suddenly our legal profession seems too cool. Attention parents who strive hard to get their children to medicine and engineering schools, you are outdated!!!!!!!

The specialized skill is what lacks in BPO employees and that is the gain of LPO’s.

One thing which makes LPO employees more responsible is the fact that they have seen life more than the BPOites who are spoon feeded right from LKG to their BTech or Degree while LPOites are those who have been to LAW schools(You know what I mean ) and been through toughest times in the court.

SO YEEEEEHAAAAAH LPOites WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WORK-CULTURE– A KEY TO SUCCESS OF AN ORGANIZATION

“Every individual has the potential to perform if he or she gets proper motivation, the right opportunity and the freedom to work.”

“By giving the right kind of inspiration, excitement and motivation, an ordinary person can perform extraordinarily.” I believe this should be the core of our work culture. This culture cannot be achieved by accident; rather it should be achieved through a defined strategy for high involvement and a measurable action plan. The organization should provide excellent motivation to every individual to put in his or her best performance in an enthusiastic and charged up environment that sans any fear of failure. The individual, who lag behind should not be degraded or sacked but needs to be counseled, encouraged, trained and appropriately motivated to do better. Constant communication on individual performance, company’s overall performance keeps employees updated and motivated.

Companies are encouraging employees to be more responsible and act and think like owners. They are also encouraging teamwork and the formation of teams as a strong culture is one in which they work together effectively, share the same values, and make decisions to meet the organization’s primary goals and objectives. Microsoft’s employees are empowered to do their job, the company encourages team spirit and do not focus on hierarchy.

“I wouldn't dream of working in a company whose work culture is inflexible and dogmatic.” Says a twenty-something software executive. “There is nothing wrong in having a little fun and celebrating our successes, so long as the deadlines are met and the goods are delivered.”

Though the usage of technology is on an unprecedented high– with the information technology and web power controlling everything from resource planning to customer relationship management, the major factor for a successful organization is not technology but, it is its employees–the motivated workforce. Promoting a culture of learning and knowledge sharing to do things in a better way is the key to a successful organization. The burden is on the management to foster an environment of co-operation and team play. In this generation of hi-fi technology, the traditional communities such as the family, neighbourhood and religion are weakening; the workplace shall be filling a void and gratifying the need of an individual to belong to a community. Ideal work culture promotes bonding and a sense of belonging.

Every organization has its own culture that evolves over time and is based on values and vision that are unique to that organization. In short, the workplace should be an ideal equilibrium of work and play, where the employees get opportunities to grow professionally as well as personally.
