Very Nicely Written!! I can very well understand the roots of the matter. All the best!! You are going Great…. Do you really think companies in todays world really value this except very few… for being such a fantastic organisation it needs to be pepole management playing a crucial role rather than organization management. Did you realize that Tata Group of Companies have least Attrition rate even in IT sector. Why is it so? Just try to do little bit of research into it. It is not because it run through ages or has a brand name but because it has got the proven people management skills inculcated into each employee and let it be a huge organization it is like a Family. Do let me know your feedback on this…

Hi Kamal,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I loved to know that you understand the roots of the matter
I know quite a few companies which practice many of the above points. Especially in sectors like IT where humans are considered as capital.
I am aware with Tata Group of Companies and their least attrition ratios. They are great not just because of their brand name but because of the values that their strategies have implanted in their culture where those values nurtured and spreaded (with interest!) amongst their worldwide client-base.
I too believe that value driven organization culture and employee fulfillment are the key ingredients in building a successful business that lasts.
Regards,
Utpal
