A for Auri

Ok. I know the title is puzzling you! But then that’s what prompted this post...

Aurindam (Auri) got an 'A' !!!

No, no, this is not a board result of a high-schooler. Yes, result but of a different kind…

Aurindam works for an Indian major dealing in watches and lifestyle products, in their watch service division. The annual PLP (Performance-Linked Pay) ratings have been announced. And, you guessed it right Aurindam got an ‘A’ rating, the best possible. It becomes even more special by the fact that only two employees got ‘A’ rating in the whole of East and North East India – that is a cool 9-10 states combined. Phenomenal, Aurindam deserves a standing ovation!

The larger point?

Well, there is nothing like a fair and transparent review of performance. Aurindam has been an outstanding worker to my personal knowledge but had a pretty tough last year, both on personal and professional fronts. Despite this his boss and peers stood by him in his hours of trial like a rock and supported him throughout. Aurindam on his part left no stone unturned to do his best, as always. The outcome has thrilled everyone.

It just goes on to emphasize that a supportive work environment, a supportive boss, a fair, objective and transparent performance review and rewarding the right person in the right manner at the right time, are perhaps the biggest engagers at work.

Keep it simple, guys! Engagement is not a rocket science.

And yes, for once raise a toast to Auri!
  
Three cheers man, way to go!!!
