It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change. -Charles Darwin. Darwin might not have quoted the above line with respect to business, but his words seem to echo in the business world, now more than ever. And managing people is no exception. Employee engagement is a very abstract concept. It is the “emotional connect” that an employee feels towards its organization.

When is the last time you felt a true sense of gratitude? Maybe your friend did a selfless favor for you when you needed it most, or maybe a grand act of kindness from a stranger brightened your entire day. While these gestures may seem modest, the results are anything but… These often fleeting, yet transformative moments can have profound impacts on our physical and emotional well-being and can boost levels of happiness and positivity in spectacular ways.

Effective management is all about successfully achieving the long and short term goals while guiding everyone towards the vision of the organisation. However, it is easier said than done. As a manager, having a management system that fulfils your goals and at the same time, maintains the balance to keep the employees happy can be difficult. Organisations can adopt different styles of management, but it all comes down to the fact of how effective these styles are turning out to be.

One of the more anxiety-inducing activities around the holiday season is trying to determine if you should give a gift to those with whom you work—colleagues, supervisors, managers, and those who report to you. If you do decide that you want to give an employee gift, the practical issue becomes: “What should I give them?” . While some may think giving employees’ gifts isn’t valued in the workplace, many find these small tokens of appreciation go a long way.

Corporate life can be a tough ordeal at times. The unrelenting work pressure, heavy work demands, and arduously long work hours associated with a corporate life can affect even the best of us. Moreover, these factors can also give rise to workplace stress and a lack of satisfaction in life in general.

When an employer hires, he is not just adding a new member to the organization, he is also forming an employee and employer link. Employers and employees who successfully grow a steady relationship are more likely to be happy and loyal to each other. The degree of closeness in these relationships depends on both the employer and the employee. When some employers choose to follow the line of hierarchy, others opt to create a friendly bond.
