Your work model is not working? High attrition rates? Low profits? Maybe the organisation needs a new approach.
“Organisations are no longer built on force, but on trust”. Peter Drucker
The time has come to urge everyone involved in an organization to see things from a different perspective and focus on the way organisations need to be managed. “How to start and how far to aspire?” needs to be tailored as per the organisational motives.
Top management support is essential for changing the culture in an organisation. One needs to monitor, explore and show the impact of decisions made by actual performance with results. Hence, results do matter! Creating a genuine learning organisation which aspires to grow will motivate employees to contribute their best.
One needs to conduct a survey among the employees to assess attrition rates. The SCARF (Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness and Fairness) model helps us predict the threat of turn-over of staff. SCARF defines the five domains of experience that activate strong threat and rewards in the brain, thus influencing a wide range of human behaviour. Don’t run an organisation to earn profits, rather earn profits (trust, respect, care) to run an organisation.
Today, technical and operational developments compel the organisations to relook and redirect strategies formulated and executed as in the past. Organizations need to believe in people who have been keen to grow, develop, have a learning attitude and then bloom into effective leaders.
A key to brain change is systematic training in a self observational skill called mindful awareness, which empowers people to respond rationally to an emotionally stressful stimuli. Our working memory based in the prefrontal cortex used for learning new activities has limited resources. Any activity performed repeatedly is pushed down into the automatic mode occupying the cognitive function reluctant to change.
The primary reason for disengagement with the organisation is lack of trust. Two questions which arise in our minds; first, is there a measurable cost to low trust? Second, is there a tangible benefit to high trust? If we have a low trust organisation, we are paying a tax which may not reflect on the income statement, but are still disguised as other problems.
Layers of management, redundancy, overlapping structures, bureaucracy, office politics, manipulations, hidden agendas, holding meetings without a clear vision results in waste of time, energy and resources.
Hence, identify employees with integrity, appreciate and respect them for their contribution in an organisation to place one step forward for the growth of the organisation. Strong reputations are built by the way they conduct their affairs with transparency and trust, thus enabling an organisation to develop with a new approach.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
