2. My Dear Focusites,
Greetings. I really wonder if those memories of the annual day is
still lingering in your mind. In case the activities of the day have
crowded your mind and covered up all those wonderful
memories then this issue is intended to bring them to the
forefront once again.
This issue is titled”Work @ FFI”. For those who have joined the
Editorial FFI team recently need to know what”Work @ FFI” means.
If you see the logo of FFI you would get to see a ring and 4 lines.
There are many different interpretations to this logo. Originally
when this logo was designed we had the target in mind. Focus
on the target that was the message it was meant to convey. But
like all other stories this story seems to be forgotten. It's time we
get back our original script.
Focusing on the job at hand and it doing with a positive frame of
mind, is the key to success. We need to understand this clearly.
The business we are in is not like supplying some equipment or
software or selling some log-ins to access some job site. Any
business can be only as good as the ‘people’ it has, and we are in
a business of providing ‘people’ for organizations that impact
the growth of our economy, so in other words we play a crucial
role in the growth of our nation.
Our clients come to us with a hope that we would provide the
best people for them. They entrust with this important task. And
YOU not called to just fill some vacancy YOUR task is to provide
the best solution for the client needs. This cannot be done if we
work mechanically. Our heart needs to be in what we do. We
have to have a positive frame of mind. In short we need to be
happy.
Kaleidoscope was planned to instill that happiness and joy. I
wish that each one of you refuse to allow the challenges to get
the better of you. You must be have fun and be happy in all
situations. These challenges can range from pressure to perform
to difficult interactions. Stand firm refuse to give up your peace.
You must always remember that in order to provide the best
results you have to be buzzing with life on an individual level.
Finally experience the goodness within you, only then can you
deliver the best experience to your customer.
MVS Mani.
