Dear Readers, Last month we witnessed the birth Anniversary of our beloved founder of Sancheti Group Late Shri Shaktikumarji M. Sancheti. On his birth anniversary, SMS family admired his efforts and management and remembered him in their prayers. A true leader with a golden heart, our founder showed us how to work together with synergy and march on the way to success. His life is a message and inspiration to us. Also, last month beholded Christmas celebrations. Christmas is a time to get along with family and friends and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a time to exchange gifts and perform acts of kindness. The real essence of Christmas lies in forgetting our differences and fostering brotherhood. The last day of the year marked New Year Celebrations throughout the globe. New Year is the time to unfold new horizons & realize new dreams, to rediscover the strength & faith, to rejoice in simple pleasures & gear up for new challenges. New Year is also the time to take resolutions and abide by them. This New Year let us all resolve to gauge our goals and put the best of our efforts towards achieving them. I wish SMS family a truly happy and fulfilling new year ahead! Abhay Sancheti Chairman 1

We need to implement a career ladder and make employees know what they must do to earn and go in for progression. Management needs to think on suitable strategy that Filling the manpower or Techno knowledge Gaps in organization is by filling in people and outsourcing services or rather identifying and upgrading their existing people. The ability of the employee to speak his or her mind freely within the organization is another key factor in employee satisfaction. The employees offer ideas, feel free to criticize and commit to continuous improvement. It takes effort to build an effective team, but the result is greater productivity, better use of resources, improved customer service and increased morale. Give great emphasis on cross functional approach as it endorses acceptance and accountability and help develop Multi skilled employees in your teams. Everyone wants to feel that they are working toward a meaningful, worthwhile goal. Work with your people to develop a departmental mission statement aligned with company s vision. This helps employees understand how their contribution is important. Employees today want more than just a job. They want to contribute to the big picture and help the company sustain it through the tough times. Provide challenging and meaningful work assignments that stir them. When employees feel bored, their motivation declines and they lose focus on how their work fits into the big picture. Delegate meaningful work whenever possible so employees can learn something new and feel challenged. An organization should be a place where people work with a smile on their faces and dreams in their eyes, wherein their views can be freely voiced and are received with an open mind, they know whenever they need help, there is a family of 3000 members waiting to help them out. The I tell/you do method simply does not work for motivating and retaining people. Instead, become a coach to your people and encourage them to try things their own way. With Great Ideas and Open Minds let us welcome 2014. Preeti Kasliwal 2
