office culture or pseudo family.
Pic: Google campus floor, feeling at home. Home is what humans love. Companies know it.
Many a times you hear a CEO or Chairmen of a tech company say we are one big large family. They go for retreats,play ,party, click photos hugging and kissing each other. Then once this large happy family comes back to office and are busy in their routine where this family feeling disappears and certain under current of supremacy ,promotion, appreciation seeking, better pay, faster rise in the ranks, lesser real family time,and finally shifting job for better pay, designation and better family.(Pseudo Family)
Massive researches are done on making company culture, huge budgets are spent for it, lot of incentives are showered but still there is no equilibrium in the HR.Why so? Because it is HR- Human resource, and if you and your board look at humans as resource then how can they be family? this is a biggest CON of the Corporate- we are family con.
Please understand we companies need humans as resources, humans need you-companies as some one who pays most for the ability its that simple. But then there is also - I LOVE MY WORK syndrome.
Do we really think people love to work. Come on . The why all the brilliant mind in apple were governed by a tyrant like Steve jobs who was expecting his HR to a level of Robotic perfection.
Then why Google campus flush money in to toys at campus and want all their employees to love futuristic furniture ,landscaping, food, and all sorts of toys to avert them from going home. Why are tech companies afraid of their HR going and spending time with their real family and friends.
Whats so unique about our own shabby home, home food, idiotic friends and pets that these tech giants fear and constantly strive make their campus Utopian world?
I run a small IT Company,may be they know something that i don't .
But till then we at Tribe appsoft won't do HR activity. I do programmer activity and i do human activity.
In programmer activity i try to make them better programmer and in human activity i make them go home and enjoy their life.They seldom listen, that is another point.
We don't have HR policy.
I believe each one of our company employee is unique human with unique family background and unique way to define a happy life.
So how can a HR policy make them all happy.Only way is they all should be seduced in to a common concept of happiness and that is successfully done so far by giving expensive treats and trips and making them overambitious to forget that life is such a reward in itself.
I do not know the exact answer for the corporation because its related to humans and there will never be one singular answer or theory for it.
So I suggest company make them self ready for humans and not for HR.
and employees make them-self ready for perfect delivery of their services and enjoy the rest of the day with real family and make your life out of happiness and not on ambition and perks.
If both company and employees get honest to each other and talk on real issues and help each other solve each others real problems this might be better work culture and real relationship than fooling each other.
Come on guys go home............
