Often, these days, we keep hearing, some XYZ Company is best,
and some other DEF is bad. Some company employees love to work for it and few
just hate in other. But, do we actually like or hate the company we work or is
the system in which company is incorporated we judge.
Organizations are Neutral; they don’t behave bad or good for
people working there. Than how do we judge it? It’s based on the process and policies decided
by the management of the organisation which governs it.
Just look back at any company we work or worked earlier. Brand
name will remain in our mind; the company actually is standing still. What comes in to us is the feeling what we got
while working there.
In numerous exit interviews I have done till now, large
number of people have left because of better prospects elsewhere. That doesn’t
mean they didn’t like the company they worked for. It’s just that, they didn’t like
the way system was working, the practices it was followed, the culture it had
and opportunities it provided.
If we incorporate best practices, good working environment, responsibility
of work along with authority of taking decision, the organisation becomes good,
and we reverse with all this, it becomes bad.
Organization is like a raw stone, it doesn’t have any
feature, unless the required shape is carved out.
Suppose any company has high volatility, doesn’t have long
term project - assignments, the attrition rate will go up, the morale will be
low and in the market, the talk about the company is negative. However, it’s
not the organisation mistake. What went
wrong is the decision of people working there and the practices they follow.
Similarly when there is high volume of business, more
profit, better engagement programs, it’s not the organisation which has got it
done. It’s the people, who work there , has better management skills, market
condition will be in their favor, which also makes the work place great.
So next time, when someone comments about a company, remember,
it’s the decisions taken inside four walls of the office, which has got the
name it has, either good or bad.
