WHY EMPLOYEES LEAVE ORGANISATIONS ?

An article by Azim Premji, CEO- Wipro

Every company faces the problem of people leaving the company for better pay or profile.

Early this year, Mark, a senior software designer, got an offer from a prestigious international firm to work in its India operations developing specialized software. He was thrilled by the offer.

He had heard a lot about the CEO. The salary was great. The company had all the right systems in place employee-friendly human resources (HR) policies, a spanking new office,and the very best technology,even a canteen that served superb food.

Twice Mark was sent abroad for training. "My learning curve is the sharpest it's ever been," he said soon after he joined.

Last week, less than eight months after he joined, Mark walked out of the job.

Why did this talented employee leave ?

Arun quit for the same reason that drives many good people away.

The answer lies in one of the largest studies undertaken by the Gallup Organization. The study surveyed over a million employees and 80,000 managers and was published in a book called "First Break All The Rules". It came up with this surprising finding:

If you're losing good people, look to their immediate boss ..Immediate boss is the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he 's the reason why people leave. When people leave they take knowledge,experience and contacts with them, straight to the competition.

"People leave managers not companies," write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.

Mostly manager drives people away?

HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an employee may not leave,but a thought has been planted. The second time, that thought gets strengthened. The third time, he looks for another job.

When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more. By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev says: "If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get him into trouble. You don 't have your heart and soul in the job."

Different managers can stress out employees in different ways - by being too controlling, too suspicious,too pushy, too critical, but they forget that workers are not fixed assets, they are free agents. When this goes on too long, an employee will quit - often over a trivial issue.

Talented men leave. Dead wood doesn't.

What u plant is what u reap..........

Personally I think this is a good one. How many Jim among us nowadays?
(Sent by Dicala - Thursday, April 2, 2009 8:37 AM)

A successful business man was growing old and
knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.

Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children,
he decided to do something different. He called all the young
executives in his company together.

He said, 'It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO.
I have decided to choose one of you. 'The young executives were
shocked, but the boss continued. 'I am going to give each one
of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant
the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with
what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then
judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be
the next CEO.'

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others,
received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the
story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted
the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had
grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began
to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.

Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.

By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have
a plant and he felt like a failure.

Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he
had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but
he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however.
He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the
seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company
brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.

Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.
But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick
to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment
of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot
to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety
of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful --
in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and
many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young
executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back. 'My, what great plants, trees,
and flowers you have grown,' said the CEO. 'Today one of you will
be appointed the next CEO!'

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with
his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to
the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, 'The CEO knows I'm a
failure! Maybe he will have me fired!'

When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened
to his seed - Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim,
and then announced to the young executives, 'Behold your next
Chief Executive Officer!

His name is Jim!' Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow
his seed.

'How could he be the new CEO?' the others said.

Then the CEO said, 'One year ago today, I gave everyone in this
room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it,
and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds;
they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and
flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you
substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the
only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with
my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new
Chief Executive Officer!'

* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends

* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness

* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective

* If you plant hard work, you will reap success

* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation

* If you plant faith in GOD, you will reap a harvest

So, be careful what you plant now;
it will determine what you will reap later.

這一生中,你錯過了什麼?

太太在二十五歲時問丈夫,
丈夫沮喪的回答她:
我錯過一個新的工作機會。

三十五歲時,
丈夫生氣的告訴她:
我剛錯過了一班公車。

四十五歲時,
丈夫傷心的說:
我錯過與親人見最後一面。

五十五歲時,
丈夫失望的回答:
我錯過了退休的好時機。

六十五歲時,
丈夫匆匆的答說:
我錯過了看牙醫的時間。

一如往常的,
太太總是回以微笑,
而微笑中總帶著落寞。

七十五歲那年,
太太不再問先生了,
此時,先生正跪坐在病危的太太面前,

想起太太每隔一段時間,
總要問他的問題,他反過來問太太,
而太太的微笑中帶著解脫回答:
這一生,我沒有錯過你!

此時,先生早已淚流滿面,
原以為兩人可以永遠在一起,
所以,終日忙著工作與繁瑣的事,
卻從不曾用心體貼朝夕相處的另一半,

先生緊抱著太太說:
這輩子,我錯過妳五十年來的深情……


繁忙的都市裡,有著許多為工作打拚的人,
大家總習慣於把工作當成生活的重心,

為了滿足社會的價值,
不惜出賣自己的時間與身體,
捨不得多花時間投資健康,
以至於錯過了陪同孩子成長的機會、
忽略了身旁關心自己的親友、輕忽了自己的身體。

珍惜,果真要在錯過後才能感受?
沒有人知道明年今日會怎麼?

人世無常,趕緊把握當下,把心中的感激告訴愛你的人、
用行動關心你的家人,把每一天都當成人生的最後一段,
即使走了,也能讓自己及身旁的人了無遺憾。

我想我或許也有錯過了些什麼
但是要珍惜已擁有的更重要

A 90 Year Old Man

An 90 year old man went for his annual check up and the doctor said, "Friend, for your age your in the best shape I've seen."

The old feller replied, "Yep. It comes from clean living. Why I know I live a good, clean, spiritual life." The doctor asked, "What makes you say that?" The old man replied, "If I didn't live a good, clean life the Lord wouldn't turn the bathroom light on for me every time I get up in the middle of the night."

The doc was concerned. "You mean when you get up in the night to go to the bathroom, the Lord Himself turns on the light for you?"

"Yep," the old man said, "Whenever I get up to go to the bathroom, the Lord turns the light on for me."

Well, the doctor didn't say anything else, but when the old man's wife came in for her check up, he felt he had to let her know what her husband said.

"I just want you to know," the doctor said. "Your husband's in fine physical shape but I'm worried about his mental condition He told me that every night when he gets up to go to the bathroom, the Lord turns the light on for him."

"He what?" she cried.

"He said every night when he gets up to go to the bathroom, the Lord turns the light on for him."

"Aha!!!" she exclaimed. "So he's the one who's been peeing in the refrigerator!"

你知道手机除了打电话还能做的4件事情吗?

除了打电话以外,你的手机还能做4件事情,你以前不一定知道

我们可能或多或少的知道一些紧急情况下的自救办法,但你可能不知道你的手机在紧要关头也能救你一命。看看下面的内容了解下你的手机能做什么吧!

1. 紧急情况

全世界的手机都可以拨打的共同紧急救援号码是112,加入你发现自己所在的地区无手机信号覆盖,同时你又遇到了紧急状况,用你的手机拨打112准没错,因 为这时候你的手机会自动搜索所有可用的网络并建立起紧急呼叫。特别有趣的是,即使你的手机是在键盘锁定的状态,你同样可以拨打112。试试吧!


2. 把车用遥控器落在车里了?

你的车用遥控能打开吧?如果可以,在你有一天将车用遥控器落在车里而且备用的遥控又在家里的话,你会发现有个手机真方便,用手机拨通家里人的手机,将你的 手机拿在离车门一英尺的地方,同时家里人拿着遥控器在他的手机旁边按响遥控器上的开锁键,这边你的车门就可以打开了。这个方法不管你把车开得离家有多远都 奏效。


3. 隐形的备用电池

你的手机电量不足了,为了让它能够继续使用,按*3370# 键,手机会重新启动,启动完毕后,你就会发现电量增加了50%。这部分隐藏的备用电量用完了你就必须得充电了,再次充电的时候,隐形的备用电池也同时充 电,下次电量低的时候又可以用这个方法。知道这个在紧急情况下如果手机电量不足非常管用。


4. 手机被偷了?有个办法让小偷也用不了,嘿嘿!

查看手机的序列号,只需键入* # 0 6 #

15位序列号会出现在手机屏幕上,全世界的每一台手机都有一个独一无二的序列号,把这个序列号记录下来并保存好。有一天如果你的手机不幸被偷了,打电话给 手机提供商,并提供你的手机序列号,他们会帮你把手机屏蔽,这样即使小偷换了SIM卡,仍然无法使用,你的手机对小偷来说变得一无是处。如果全世界每个手 机持有者都这么做,那么偷手机就没有意义了。

在澳洲,警方甚至建立了一个被盗手机数据库,如果你的手机被找到了,就可以归还给你了。

加減很簡單嗎?

三個人去投宿
服務生說要300元
每個人就各出了100元,湊成 300元
後來老闆說今天特價只要 250元
於是老闆叫服務生把退的 50元 拿去還給他們
服務生想說自己也很辛苦於是暗藏 20元 起來,然後就把剩下的 30元 還給他們
那三個人每人拿回10元 100-10=90 表示每個人只出了 90元 投宿
90元 X3人=2 7 0元 +服務生的20元=290元 
請問...那剩下的 10元 呢????
紐西蘭某大學提供這個題目後,受到廣大的迴響!
真的很玄喔!
