I was prompted to write down the following due to certain issues that came up for discussion among my friends in the Banking fraternity. These things came up with regard to the present scenario after large scale mergers/takeovers that took place in the Banking and various other sectors/industries.
Every Organisation is establised with certain defined objectives. The management tries to fulfil these objectives by deploying the assets at its disposal.
One of the important assets at the disposal of the management is the Human Assets (HA) or the workforce of the organisation. For making the HA deliver the optimum output, the organisation has to evolve itself as an excellent entity to work for.
An attempt is made here to list out some of the measures which will make an organisation a great place to work.
1. Facilitate an encouraging work environment which values, recognizes and rewards qualitative performance.
2. Invest in ongoing training with an eye on enhancing knowledge, upskilling, developing sense of belongingness and loyalty to the organisation and improved performance with passion.
3. Facilitate blending of experience of senior staff with the knowledge of younger employees.
4. Keep in place a well defined and encouraging career path.
5. Keep in place a channel for Employees' Suggestions and reward those who make valuable contributions suitably.
6. Ensure work - life balance.
These steps will definitely make an organisation a great place to work, if not, the employees feel left out and stressed which directly affects the productivity and loyalty of them.
