Is Staff there forever or Transient?

 The conversation in most of the social, professional, and personal groups is around “Oh God! How to find the right people?”

Earlier times there was a culture in homes and offices that staff stayed forever. Loyalty to the bosses of the organization was the primary motive and people felt very guilty ditching the boss or the owner of the house.

There were emotional messages that were sent to them about how much is invested in their careers and jobs and therefore the subordinate has to feel obligated and stuck to that role or job forever.

Earlier also the world was in separate regional boundaries, countries, and continents. Now it has become an open world and open economy where movement and transition have become very easy. 

People feel stuck, bored, and suffocated in the same job if they are there for years.

In the aspiration to move ahead, the loyalty factor is not considered at all but the person's need is primary.

Hence, it has become a world with a lot of opportunities lot of movement and new people a new staff coming in all the time.

The replacement cost to an organization's home or a family is a factored cost in every system. For example, in the IT industry employees moves job every 3 months and there is a high turnover.

So what do homes and organizations do to deal with this reality? There is an information overload where at a click of a button you know there is a job available in Timbuktu.

Families also accept that these decisions this choice are made for personal and professional growth.

Couples are willing to live apart and only meet on weekends if the benefit is much higher than the cost. 

There is a whole shift in the mindset of each individual system or organization.

Relationships also have become temporary and transient without much baggage.

How do you deal with this reality of today’s times?

Why do we Produce children? When sometimes they are assets and sometimes are liabilities.

  Whenever you get married the first thought that comes to your mind is when you will have children. Having children becomes such an important dream for the parents, the in-laws, and friends around you. People become very curious, noisy, and intruding in this very important phase of one’s life. So having children becomes almost a compulsion at each stage in life. Even if one is not prepared one gets into the rat race of having children. There are very few couples or individuals who make a conscious decision to not having children because they are not prepared for it. Once you have children they become an immense source of joy, fulfillment, and nurturing for the parents. If I were to take my example I had two children in a row and they were the most burdensome and I rarely enjoyed my motherhood until they were five. They were symbols to show off and gratitude towards in-laws. Only once they grew up to be adults could I engage with them on a one-to-one basis. My Husband...

Don’t rely on Saint and Saige’s for your Solution.

  We often rely on saints, sages and the arrived people for all our solutions. However, we need to ask ourselves whether they are the actual source of all our problems. Actually, if we look inward we can realize that most of the solutions lie within us and I don’t need to look out for any solutions. It’s only the belief in one self that you realize that all the solutions lie within me. It’s all about the faith and conviction that I have in myself to generate solutions in life. If I look at the problem, with a great deal of tension and negativity I will only look for problems outside me. If I have the courage and the faith in myself then I will not look outside of me. You become a prisoner of your own habits if you are unable to get out of it. Only if you are in tune with nature and the real things happening around will you be able to find real solutions. In the name of being god-fearing, we are unable to drop all the shackers and inhabitations we carry towards god and t...

  It is important that we reflect on ourselves in the process of living life. A mirror often gives you the realistic image and picture of yourself. So in living life it is important to look at yourself into the mirror and create learnings. Mirror is an object which creates lots of learnings for the self Is there a god which helps you look at real picture on there is no god. When you look into the mirror you discover/recreate. You feel good with yourself or you feel nauseous. Both the realities are true. At times you feel good and on high and at times you may fee horrible. Keep the mirror for a learning of whether you are in the good space or the bad space. At times you may feel very big and at times very small both realities are real. The mirror reflects only what you are it does not pass a judgement on whether you are good or bad that judgement is passed on by the self. If we stumble and fumble we are unable to see ourselves with clarity. Author:-Dr. Nayana Shah (Ph....
