1. ORGANISATION AND ORGANISATOINAL STRUCTURE.

ORGANISATION.

One man or a group of people cannot do all the jobs in a business enterprise. Hence

several groups of people have to work together to achieve the goals of the company. Thus

an organization is created.

An organization is defined as a structure that enables people to work together,

efficiently to achieve the goal through division of labour and function, and hierarchy of

authority and responsibility.

IMPORTANCE OF AN ORGANISATION.1

Facilitate administration

Well designed organization structure makes it easier to manage the operations smoothly

The work is sub divided into task/activities in logical and scientific manner and assigned

to each position. Thus each position has an assigned task.

Facilitate division of Authority and Responsibility.

Authority and responsibility can be suitably divided and distributed to several levels and

positions as per company’s requirements. Each position has its own inherent authority

and responsibility.

Effective use of manpower.

Best – suited person is selected and placed in each position to do the task. He carries the

necessary authority and responsibility, assigned to his position.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE2

Organizational structure is a formal and informal framework of policies and rules,

within which an organization arranges its lines of authority and communications, and

allocates rights and duties. Organizational structure determines the manner and extend to

which roles, power and responsibilities are delegated, controlled, and coordinated and hw

information flows between levels of management. this structure depends entirely on the

organization’s objective and the strategy chosen to achieve them. In a centralized

structure, the decision making power is concentrated in the top layer of the management

and tight control is exercised over departments and divisions. In a decentralized structure,

the decision making power is distributed and the departments and division, in a

decentralized structure the decision making power is distributed and departments and

divisions have varying degrees of autonomy. An organizational chart illustrates the

organizational structure.

1.4 ORGANISATIONAL STUDY

Organizational study is done to analysis the structure of an organization, its hierarchy,

its work flow and department wise details about the work force and work flow.

An organizational study helps to know the organization better, and helps to find better

ways to tackle problems and find solutions for them, as in gives insight about the working

of the organization, it tell about the strength, weakness , opportunity and threat related to

1.4 THEORY OF MOTIVATION3

Motivation is a need or desire that causes a person to act; to have initiative, spirit or be

enterprising.

Human needs have wants and desires, which can influence their behavior. Only

unsatisfied needs can influence the behavior, satisfied needs do not act as motivators.

Since needs are many, they are arranged in the order of their importance or hierarchy,

from the basic to the complex. Further up the hierarchy the person is able to go , the more

individuality, the humanness and psychological health he or she will display. In this

context the study on self motivation is important.

1.4.1 Different views of motivation.

2.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Naturals are a buzzword these days. It wasn’t long ago that our society seemed

less concerned with nature than with progresses. But now we se the importance of

sustainability and human values. The ways we live and hope to live has undergone a

revolution. Natural medicine was at the vanguard of this revolution. Thanks to the work o

pioneering naturopaths ―a balanced diet’ and ―a regular exercise’ were accepted as basic

requirements for the health. Naturopathy is hardly a alternative if you consider that its

essential ideas form the basis of this massive shift in our thinking about food and the

body.

Today, the Natural Revolution has evolved into ―The organic Revolution‖. The Organic

Revolution has really only just begun, but already it ahs redefined our concept of a

healthy life. We have realized that what we assume to be natural – fruits, vegetables,

herbs – are not necessarily produced in a natural way.

Pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and genetic modification have corrupted our food

sources and compelled many of us to aspire to a new ideal: living free of harmful

chemicals.

During the last decade, popularity of alternative medicine increased significantly

worldwide with noticeable trends in the United states in particular. This in turn

accelerated the global trade of the herbal raw materials and herbal products and created

high scope for the Afro-Asia as well as Latin – American countries, which are the major

suppliers of the herbal raw materials in the world.

Page 10: report

The global trade of medicinal and related plant materials were estimated to be of the

approx. value 62billion US$ in 2001. China has been successful in acquiring the single

largest share in this export market because of its well-deigned national policy on the

traditional Chinese medicine. Ginseng is the major item of the Chinese export.

Despite contradictory claims regarding India’s share in the world market of medicinal

plants, one thing is very clear that ideally it should have the second largest share , but the

country lags far behind china owing to its unorganized trade system and inadequate

policy. The government of India has however been quite active since 2000 to overcome

this problem, and has adopted many measures to give a boost to the export of the

medicinal plants and herbal products.

A ―National medicinal plant Board‖ has been constituted to facilitate the conservation,

propagation and marketing of important medicinal plants, herbal products and its state

level counterparts are also operating to implement this mandate at the individual states.

2.2 INDUSTRIAL PROFILE

2.2.1 HERBAL EXTRACTION INDUSTRY

Herbal medicine, also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine refers to the use of

many plant seeds , berries, roots, leaves , bark or flowers for medicinal purposes. Long

practiced outside of conventional medicine, herbalist is becoming more main stream as

up to date analysis and research show their value in the treatment and prevention of

disease. Plants had been used for medicinal purposes long before recorded history.

Page 11: report

Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL

- 11 -

The industrial processing o medicinal and aromatic plants start with the extraction of the

active components using one or the other technology. In case of essential oils, which

represent a heterogeneous mixture of widely varied chemical constitutes, the extraction

processes for the production of essential oils from aromatic plants and extracts from

medicinal plants differ widely and the best results are obtained by modifying and

adapting the general extraction process to a particular medicinal and aromatic plant.

There are many processes patented throughout the world for commercial extraction of

plant ingredients. Herbal extracts is a liquid solution o herbs and alcohol. The fired or

fresh herbs are combined with alcohol, then the solid matter is removed leaving only the

oils of the herbs mixed with the alcohol. This process is called extraction, hence the

name, herbal extract. From earliest times medicines were the product off parts steeped in

or boiled with water. Experience showed that other liquids such as alcohol (e.g. wine,

brandy, etc) and vinegar made extraction of the ingredients more efficient and had a

preservative action.

Nowadays there are four common methods for extracting aromatic compounds from plant

material:

Distillation,

Solvent extraction,

Expression,

Effleurage.

All four methods intend the final product to be used in perfumery or scenting, however,

none of these extraction methods produces an exact replica of the scent of a fresh plant.

The reason for this inability to exactly replicate the scent of a fresh plant is due to the fact

that these extraction methods denature the aromatic compounds by either exposure to

heat, oxygen or chemical solvents.

2.2.2.1 Nutraceutical

Health foods are known under different names throughout the world.

Nutraceuticlas are food products supplemented with herbal ingredients. Vitamins,

minerals and nutrients or ingredients isolated/purified form conventional foods. These are

the latest products in a succession of health food evolution constituting dietary

supplement, fortified foods, foods and beverages with added bioactive ingredients. The

strongest market driver for the nutraceutical is the ―baby boomer generation‖ which will

be the largest buying consumer group in the years ahead. The US leads the Nutraceutical

market followed by countries of western Europe and Japan, will remain largest global

producers and consumers. Asia and Pacific, Latin America , Africa and Middle East are

set to provide the fastest growth for the nutraceutical industry. China will see the most

impressive jump in nutraceutical production and consumption USA ($10 – 37 billion);

EUC ($ 15-20 billion); Japan ($10-14 billion).

2.2.2.2 Herbal Drug

Herbal drugs have been used since ancient times as medicines for treatment of range of

diseases. Medicinal plants have played a key role in world heath. In spite of the great

advances observed in medicine in recent times, plants still make an important

contribution to health care.

During the past decades, public interest in natural therapies, namely herbal

medicines, has increased dramatically not only in developing countries but mainly in

industrialized countries.

This has increased the international trade in herbal medicine enormously and has

attracted most of the pharmaceutical companies including the multinationals. Currently

most large multinational companies are interested in commercializing drugs. It is

Page 14: report

Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL

estimated that the European market alone reached about $7 billion. Herbal medicine

markets in Asia and Japan reach $2.3 and $2.1 billion, respectively. However, in no other

country has the herbal medicine market reached about $3.2 billion.

2.2.2.3 Cosmeceuticals

Cosmeceutical means cosmetics that are made from herbal products like botanical

extracts, essential oils, Aloe extracts etc…

Global market : US $22 billion

Fastest growing sector : Anti-aging products

Skin care products $5.4 billion in 2005

Botanical ingredients for use in cosmetics and toiletries 8% annual growth

Manufacturers are now frequently replacing vitamins with herbal ingredients such

as Serenoa repens, Panax spp, Ginkgo biloba

Aloe Vera is most demanded in cosmetic industry

US market for cosmetics: US $2.5 billion where the market for botanicals for use

in cosmetic and toiletries are at $ 345 million (1998), 505 million (2003), 750 million

Table showing different sectors to which herbal products are supplied as raw materials.

Among them herbals are supplied for production of vitamins and micronutrients. But in

current scenario a huge demand for herbals are from nutraceutical industries.

2.4. Essential oil industries.

An essential oil is a concentrated, hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma

components from plants. They are also known as volatile or ethereal oils, or simply as

―oil of‖ the plant material from which they were extracted, such as mustard. Oil is

―essential‖ in the sense that it carries a distinctive scent, or essence of the plant.

2.3. GLOBAL VIEW OF THE INDUSTRY

2.3.1 GLOBAL VIEW OF ESSENTIAL OIL INDUSTRY

Essential oil production

World production dominated by Brazil 40% followed by USA 20% and India

15% when compared in value terms. It’s highest for USA (26%) followed by India 21%

and Brazil 8%.

Essential oils: global view

World production of essential oils (Estimated) 150,000 tons excluding Turpentine oil

which alone is 300,000 tons.

Developing countries have great potential for production of E.O. 65 % produced in

developing countries, 35% in industrialized countries.

Seven leading countries Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Egypt, Morocco and Turkey

produce 85% among developing nations.

Major exporters of E.O. Brazil, China, India, European Union ,USA and Indonesia

account for 66% of essential oil exports .

Major importers: E.U.. USA, Japan, Canada, Switzerland account for more than 70%

of the total volume import.

2.3.2. GLOBAL VIEW OF HERBAL PRODUCTS INDUSTRY

Herbal product industry is one of the fastest growing industry in the world.

Popularity and global interest in herbal products are due to the following:

Lesser side effects as compared to synthetic products.

Affordability

Effectiveness and time tested.

No cure in modern medicine for chronic and lifestyle related disorders.

Global trade in herbal medicines/food supplements currently stands at US $70

billion.

Worldwide demand is to reach $15.5 billion in 2010. World demand for

nutraceutical ingredients is forecasted to advance 5.8 percent annually to 15.5 billion in

2010. In that year these compounds will serve a projected $197 billion market for

nutritional preparation and natural medicines. Due to clinical and scientific evidence of

health benefits and safety, the best worldwide growth opportunities for nutraceutical

ingredients will emerge inn soy isoflavone proteins, the functional food beverages

additives lutien, lycopene, omega -3 fatty acids, herbal extracts garlic and green tea, and

non-herbal extracts chondrotin, glucosamine and coenzyme Q 10.

2.3.3. MARKETS IN CHINA, INDIA TO EXPAND MOST RAPIDLY.

China and India will emerge as the fastest expanding nutraceutical markets as

strong economic growth leads to the extensive upgrading and diversification of food,

beverage and pharmaceutical production capabilities. The US will remain the largest

global consumer of nutraceutical ingredients due to the broad, increasing range of

Page 18: report

Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL

- 18 -

nutritional preparations and natural medicines produced domestically. However, the

country’s demand for these ingredients will grow below the average worldwide pace as

market for many fortified foods and beverages, dietary supplements, and adult and

pediatric nutritional become more saturated. Based on outsourcing trends, the US will

relinquish.

Increasing acceptance by consumers and medical professional will push

world demand for herbal and non-herbal extract 6.5% annually to almost $1.9 billion in

2010. Conflicting clinical and scientific testing results about actual health benefits will

inhibit faster gains in the overall products group. Garlic for improving cardiovascular

functions, ginkgo biloba for enhanced cognitive properties, saw palmetto for benign

prostatic hyperplasia, green tea for cancer prevention and weight loss, and black cohosh

for post-menopausal symptoms will be among the herbs continuing to fare well in the

worldwide market place.

2.4. Constraints faced by herbal production industry

As herbal production industry is one of the fast growing sectors in the world, but it also

suffers many problems to sustain in the industry .some of the constraints faced by herbal

product companies are as follows –

Lack of awareness o economics benefits of E.O. industry.

Technology and skilled man power.

Inadequate infrastructure.

Inventories for information and plant resources.

Market intelligence.

Credit facilities for business development.

Unsupportive govt. policies.

growing in European market. This market is larger and more developed in European and

American countries. China and India are leading exporters of raw materials (Herbal

extracts, essential oils etc.) in the world.

2.6. MARKET POTENTIAL AND DEMAND DYNAMICS.

As per World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates 80% of the world population

depends on herbal medicine for their primary healthcare needs. In 2004 the global trade

in herbal medicine was estimated around USD 60bn increasing with an annual growth

rate of 15%. The industry is expected to attain a value of USD 5 trillion by 2050. The

demand for herbal medicine is especially high in European Union (EU) and United

States. These two markets are the key drives of the global herbal trade.

Presently, India countries less than 1% the global herbal market however it is fast

emerging as a key supplier of medicinal plants across the globe. The present value of the

entire Ayurvedic production in India is estimated to be around USD 1bn while annual

exports are pegged at USD 100mn. Of the total exports 60% is crude herbs, 30% is

finished product shipped abroad for direct sales to consumer and the remaining 10% is

partially prepared products to be finished in the foreign countries. Apart from the

traditional herbal formulations, cosmetics, nutraceutical are two up coming opportunity

segments which are expected to be the future growth drivers of the herbal industry.

2.8. INDIAN SCENARIO

In India herbal and spice sector has traditionally occupied an important position in the

socio cultural, spiritual and medicinal area of rural and tribal lives. Recognizing its

importance, the government of India established the development o Indian system f

medicine and homeopathy, and more recently the medicinal plants board to develop,

promote and regulate the sector for maximizing the benefits to the people as well as to

ensure sustainable growth.

Medicinal plants have been identified as one of the thrust areas by the ministry and

different programmers have been initiated for conservation of medicinal plants sound in

the forest and protected areas as well as cultivation of plants in the degraded forest areas.

Kerala has been at the forefront of Ayurvedic revolution in the country, endowed with

rich biodiversity because of its natural topography comprising of all three biomes – hills,

platues and coasts. The state government has established a R&D and educational

infrastructure for the further developing science of traditional medicine and also took the

lead in promoting health tourism which has been equally popular among Indian as well as

foreign tourism.

The county, blessed with 16 agro climatic zones, 45,000 plant species and 25,000

medicinal plants, has a good potential to export herbal products. Non – acceptance by the

profession in the developed countries owing to lack of technical documentation is,

however, hindering its exports. The Indian herbal extracts industry has grown over the

years and is today estimated between INR 500 crores and INR 600 crores. The biggest

concern is to establish the efficacy of Indian medicinal plants on modern scientific terms

Page 23: report

Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL

- 23 -

and produce extracts in hygienically maintained good manufacturing facilities. The

global herbal market is estimated at $ 65 bn and India’s share is only $1 bn. Global

demand for herbal products have been growing steadily at 15 % per annum.

World health organisation (WHO) projects the global herbal products market at $5

trillion by 2050. There is a comparative need to consolidate, mobilize and organize the

sector. With the global market growing at a much faster rate than the domestic market,

the Ayurvedic and Siddha manufactures need to orient themselves to export needs.

2.8.1. Advantages of Indian herbal industries.

Strong traditional support – mainly from Ayurveda

Plants used for century’s safety margin very high.

Availability of herbs for variety of indications like sugar/weight.

Essential oil of mustard

AITC 15-95%

Essential oil of Asafoetida

3.7.3 Omega 3 fatty acids

These are considered to be essential fatty acids. They are essential to human

health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must

be obtained from food. Omega -3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna,

and halibut, other marine life such as algae and krill, certain plants (including purslane),

and nut oils also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA’s), omega -3 fatty acids

play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development.

There are three major types of omega 3 fatty acids that are ingested in foods and used by

the body: alpha –linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and

docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). As the importance of omega – 3 fatty acids to health ha

received increasing awareness, the number of good products enriched in omega 3 fatty

acids has increased. Many companies add fish oil or flax oil into their final product to

enrich it in omega -3 fatty acids

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Page 63: report

Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL

- 63 -

4. Research Methodology

4.1.Statement of problem

The objective is to study the various factor that influence a person’s performance

in an organization. This study is to find the factors that motivate the employees and how

much do the employees accept it to be a factor of motivation, by rating them in a Likert

scale

4.2 Literature review

1. Meaningfulness, commitment and engagement: The intersection of a deeper level

of intrinsic motivation (2009)1

: the literature refers to value as intrinsic motivators to

performing a task and deriving satisfaction from the accomplishment of that task.

Although the emphasis may be on the congruence of the task with our beliefs, objectives

and anticipated rewards, motivation is seen as focused on the accomplishment of the task.

The common assumption is that we are motivated by values based on results or outcome.

Meaning, of the other hand, is more deeply intrinsic and something even deeper . This

level of intrinsic motivation is about the meaning of the work itself to the individual.

Csikszentmihalyi (1990), in his attempt to define meaning , readily acknowledged the

difficulty the task presents by suggesting that any definition of the term would

undoubtedly be circular . However, he pointed to three ways in which the word may e

defined, two of which are (a) having a purpose or significance of something and (b) the

intensions one holds.

2. How Do Rewards and Management Styles Influence the motivation to Share

knowledge (2008)2: How to motivate knowledge sharing is of crucial importance to

many companies. This paper analyzes individual knowledge sharing behavior in a self-

determination theory (SDT) perspective. The primary aim is to explore what type of

motivation predicts knowledge sharing behavior and how this type of motivation is

Page 64: report

Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL

- 64 -

affected by reward structures and management styles in organizations. The paper builds

on survey and interview data from a pilot case study and provides statistical evidence of a

strong positive relationship between autonomous motivation and knowledge sharing

behavior. Furthermore, tangible rewards are found to correlate negatively with

autonomous motivation for knowledge sharing. The more employees perceive knowledge

sharing to lead to tangible rewards, the less they are autonomously motivated to share. On

the other hand, a management style supportive of employees’ needs for autonomy is

found to promote autonomous motivation for knowledge sharing.

3. A Research Study on the Effect of Work motivation on Job Satisfaction (2010)3:

This study attempts to develop the effect of work motivation on job satisfaction on two

big mobile telecom organizations zong and ufone. The questionnaire was developed to

measure the correlation of work motivation and job satisfaction. It was concluded that,

there must be some other variables that are intervening in our model and making

contribution at a significant level. Thus the model has not attained the favorable level of

significant and could not be used for further research. It can be said that the variables

chosen for the study was not highly significant. Researcher also found that overall the

employees were quiet satisfied with their jobs and have their interest in their job. More

than average employees were motivated to work for the organization. Some of

employees think that they are not on their actual path and often feel over worked.

4. The Relationship between Perceived Training Opportunities, Work

Motivation and Employee Outcomes (2008)4: The purpose of this study was to explore

alternative relationships between training opportunities and employee outcomes. A cross-

sectional survey of 343 trainees from a broad range of Norwegian service organizations

showed that the relationship between perceived training opportunities, and both task

performance and citizenship behaviors were fully mediated, and that the relationship

between perceived training opportunities and turnover intention was partially mediated

Page 65: report

Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL

- 65 -

by employee intrinsic motivation. In addition, intrinsic motivation was found to moderate

the relationship between perceived training opportunities and organizational citizenship

behaviors.

The form of the moderation revealed a positive relationship for those with high intrinsic

motivation. In sum, the variables included as predictors in our study explained 13 percent

of the variance in task performance, 19 percent of the variance in organizational

citizenship behavior and 24 percent of the variance in turnover intention. Implications for

practice and directions for future research are discussed.

4.3. Significance of study:

McShane,Steven L. , Von Glinow,Mary Ann (2001)5 in their book says ― Motivation is

one of the key ingredients in employees performance and productivity . Even when

people have clear work objective, the right skills and a supportive work environment,

they won’t get the job done without sufficient motivation to achieve those work

objectives. Motivation refers to the forces with in a person that effects his or her

direction. Intensity and persistence of voluntary behaviour. Motivated employees are

willing to exert a particular level of effort for a certain amount of time , towards a

particular goal.‖

Motivation is thus, the most significant thing in any body’s life to drive towards their

goal, this study thus helps to find the various motivational factors and also how well and

in what manner has those factors being accepted by the employees , as they rated it

according to their preference and as to what according to them is more important.

This study can help the company know more about how much they are successful in

meeting the motivational demand of employees both psychological and physical and how

good they are at motivating their employees, also, it helps the company to realize what

factors are adding to productivity and what all are demotivators, this help the company to

relate to factors that adds to productivity of the employees, their job satisfaction and

ultimately a better performance.

4.3 Scope of study

M.N. Mishra (2006)6in his book ―Organizational Behavior‖ says ―motivation is

related to the motives of the people - by what they are moved and activated to achieve

their goal. Motivation may be understood differently by different people as incentives to

do work, motives to achieve goals, desire to posses something useful, drives to come

forward for outstanding performance and so on. The Latin word ―Movere‖ is the basis of

the motivation. ―Movere‖ means to message, appeal and so on. People are motivated by

certain situations and action. Motivation is always directed towards achievement of high

levels of work. Favorable jobs and high performance and quality of work , employees’

levels of performance and their qualification are considered for motivation.‖

Based some theoretical back ground some areas that need to be sought to find if they are

motivational factors were chosen and results were analyses.

Job satisfaction: Satisfied employee is likely to be motivated by responsibility

and control and would find opportunities for managing people or situations

energizing. A sense of job security also leads to a stress free work interest and

adds to job satisfaction. Doing better than others is likely to energise, betating

targets could be quite motivating. A clear definition of roles and responsibilities

help them to plan and do work on time as needed and a work completed on time

motivates the employee to do more as it fetches him praise, being in uniform

gives a feeling on equality and belongingness to the company and the employees

will be more loyal to the firm.

Awareness of the company affairs among the employees: Knowing about the

policies about the company will help the employee work in controlled

environment and also know his or her boundaries this will help to define the work

he or she does, at the same time it will help them know their benefits and perks

Page 67: report

Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL

- 67 -

that they are entitled to, better. Praise and positive feedback is likely to be motivating,

recognition for a job well done is likely to be energizing , such as acknowledgement

in News letter etc.. Unlikely to be affected by a lack of praise

Work environment: A positive and work and employee friendly environment to

work will yield better employee performance, like a proper timings to work and

better peer, subordinate and superior bonding will motivate the to come for work

regularly and do the job with enthusiasm. Finding new opportunities for learning

new skills motivating personal development is likely to be important . like during

training. Employees feel energized by opportunities to spend time with and learn

from colleagues.

Compensation: compensations and perks gives the employees a sense of trust

and safety that there are people who matter to them and they are taken care off,

most of the employees working in the manufacturing department etc, will want to

have a proper compensation policies in their firm as it gives them a sense of

security and safety.

Welfare measures: Any company to prosper needs to do welfare measure, if not

an extensive one at least the basic needs of human beings need to met, as to

getting drinking water, canteen facilities and some get together fro the employees

and their family members.

6.2 Conclusions

Here, I put forward that through the organizational study I have been able to acquire and

appreciate knowledge regarding the functioning of different departments in ANEL. This

study gave me a chance to interact with different functional heads and employees, which

helped me to understand things more practically . as a whole it was a nice experience for

me to do a organizational study in ANEL and I would like to hank each and every

employee of the organization for helping me to complete my study.

The secondary topic of finding the factors of motivation in ANEL employees, has also

been done, and has been interpreted with charts and graphs, to know the pulse of the

employees working in ANEl. It has been observed that the employees in ANEL is well

taken care off by the management and by the colleagues , as this is evident form the study

that most of the answers of the questionnaire were positive and the result of the study

showed that the employees in ANEL are dedicated to their duties and respective tasks.

6.3 Suggestions

It is observed that there is no interaction or much of family get together events

happening in ANEL, if these types of events are incorporated the employees will be

emotionally attached to the company and feel the work place as a second home, this in

turn will reduce their stress and tension and make them better productive resources.

A personality development session can be held in a regular basis of either a year or

half yearly so that there is a problem sharing and interactive session between employees ,

this will help them shed their inhibition and make them a team player.
