Pandemizing COVID19


Coronavirus is new to India even when several countries were threatened earlier by MERS CoV and SARS India was not much affected. Our generation is seeing the worst enemy of our lives but this could be tamed by many ways. At this point in time there isn’t any significant development in the drug/vaccination discovery although the trials are underway. Those staggering numbers in the USA, Spain, Italy and the ROW evidently portrays the danger associated with the virus. Personally, I speak to many of my friends in the US and they are confined to their houses and are fearful to even step out.

WHO has been recommending strict measures and useful guidelines and awareness materials to create awareness, to protect people from acquiring the disease. Based on their guidelines all the countries are following their footpath. India is guided by WHO, Ministry of Health and family welfare of central and state governments. The news channels are doing their part to ensure the right information reaches the public. If we fail to follow those guidelines we are voluntarily inviting the demon COVID-19 into our bodies, families and to the community at large. Without bothering about the staggering numbers just focus on the measures that you can take, the practices that you can bring forth in your life to keep things at bay. Leading a disciplined life as our fore-fathers will be the new norm.

To add to what WHO has already given in their guidelines


a.       It is critical that every one of us practice respiratory etiquette. Use a hand kerchief or your elbows and shoulders whenever you sneeze and cough.

b.      Avoid consumption of alcohol or prevent smoking as those increases your risk of acquiring the disease

c.       Frequently use alcohol based solution to wash your hands. Keeps your environment clean and tidy using disinfectant for the floors atleast once in two days.

d.      Practice hygiene at home and office. Maintain space the social distancing to mitigate the risks.


 WHO terms COVID-19 a 'pandemic'. Here is what it means - Times of ...

Above all, in a nutshell Self-Discipline is the key. India is a country with rich cultural values and heritage. We were taught be bold, disciplined and followed tough practices and rituals that overall developed our physical and mental well-being. Off-late, due to westernization and urbanization we Indians moved a little away from the reality and the nature. We’ve had great writers, thinkers, and philosophers telling us how to eat, how to exercise and how to live life completely.

It is recommended by the authorities in the domain that the lockdown is to be lifted in phased manner otherwise will lead to a much bigger wave of cases so I forsee a very calculated, data driven approach that will be adopted by the countries to mitigate further risks. 

I strongly believe that we’ll soon find a remedy against this pandemic and will lead a happy lives. 

All said and done for me personally life is never going to be the same after this lockdown. A lot of introspection, new habits have helped me and I feel I'll lead a better life and I wish the same to you all.  

BE SAFE; BE HAPPY; STAY POSITIVE; SPREAD JOY

Image
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the ability to collaborate across various functions and departments is crucial for the success of any organization. Over my decade-long journey in Human Resource Management, working in both manufacturing and IT sectors, I've had the opportunity to witness and participate in numerous initiatives that promote cross-functional collaboration. These initiatives not only enhance business performance but also play a key role in fostering a positive work culture and building a sense of camaraderie among employees. Let's take a deeper look at some of the initiatives that have made a significant impact. 1.Quality Circles Quality Circles are small groups of employees from various departments who come together to address issues related to quality, productivity, and other operational concerns. These groups are typically voluntary and focus on problem-solving through collective brainstorming and solution implementation. By encouraging employees...

Transforming Employee Engagement: A Shift from Touchpoints to Touchhearts

Image
In the dynamic landscape of modern business, organizations face a pressing need to move beyond conventional employee engagement practices. Macro-economic shifts and evolving employee preferences, notably among Gen Z, underscore the necessity for a profound transformation in how companies view and interact with their workforce. Jobs are no longer seen merely as a means to meet basic needs or financial obligations. Contemporary employees, particularly the emerging Gen Z workforce, seek meaningful experiences at work. The desire for attention, respect, and a sense of euphoria comparable to high-end retail experiences is increasingly becoming a driving force in employee expectations. The paradigm shift extends to how employees wish to be perceived - not just as workers but as "Customers." This implies a departure from traditional employer-employee relationships towards a model where HR frameworks are agile, adapting seamlessly to the diverse and fluid needs of modern talent. Havi...

Navigating the Dynamic Realms of HR: A Decade's Reflection

As an HR professional with a decade-long journey spanning both the manufacturing and information technology (IT) sectors, I've witnessed the nuanced dance between human resources and two vastly distinct industries. Each realm comes with its own set of challenges, triumphs, and unique characteristics that shape the HR landscape in profound ways. Embracing Tradition in Manufacturing HR In the world of manufacturing, the heartbeat of HR echoes with the rhythms of tradition. The emphasis on established processes, hierarchies, and a hands-on approach to employee management is palpable. It's a domain where personal connections matter, and the shop floor is as much a social hub as it is a place of production. In manufacturing, the HR role often involves dealing with a diverse workforce, from skilled craftsmen to assembly line workers. Personally, I had the privilege of handling 5 diverse workforce at work, the act Apprentices, Contract labours, Casual employees, Unionised permanent wo...
