I really appreciate when organisations talk about all the CSR initiatives. And I appreciate it all the more when I see those talks transforming into action.
But like it's said...charity begins at home. So I am deeply saddened to see the office guards, manning the gates for hours in the scorching heat, without drinking water or not being able to have a proper meal. And I feel really disappointed to see the lack of seating arrangements for the pantry and office boys or the staff cleaning the restrooms. And you know what disheartens me the most, when people speak to them in the most crude manner.
So for that Marks & Spencer blazer that makes you really chic or that Van Heusen shirt that makes you look so classy...Some generosity and kind words will really add so much grandeur to your personality. Don't forget your manners at home while talking to the support staff.
And for the organisations planning their next year's CSR initiatives, a request to begin charity at home.
Absolutely True.
ReplyDeleteSad but true :(
DeleteIn my ex-company, the staff in the washrooms was not allowed to sit during their 10 hour shift except for the 15 mins lunch beak they got after the lunch timings for normal employees ended. Not only was there no chair in there but sometimes they were scolded for sitting on the floor. We had raised this issue a number of times but the office admin said that it's the agency's rule and not theirs and they cannot do anything about it.
ReplyDeleteYes Nishtha even my colleagues and I have tried to approach the administration but the agencies seem to follow these inhumane practices. Organisations should take a joint stand against these agencies.
DeleteTrue that! and am also proud to say that we as an organizaton do keep these in our frame of plans- both within and without CSR !!
ReplyDeleteIC, am glad to hear that somebody cares :)
