Are
you indispensable?
In any organisation, employees can be classified into
three groups. The first group ‘Assets’, consists 60% of
the employees. They are worth what they are paid for.
Their performance meets the organisation’s expectations.
The second group, consists of 20% of the employees. They
perform but their performance is far from satisfactory.
Humanitarian grounds or legal requirements help this
‘Non-performing Assets’ to stay. There is one more group
consisting of the remaining 20% of the employees. They
contribute more than what they are paid for. They do
more than what is expected from them. This group is
called ‘Indispensable Assets’. The employees who belong
to this group enjoy absolute job security, higher
remuneration and greater job satisfaction. Which group
do you belong to?
Here are 7 tips for people who would like to join the
elite group of ‘Indispensable Assets’ and enjoy the
security, satisfaction and salary that go along with it.
1.
Treat your employment as a career and not as a
job:
If the only reward you expect from your employment is
your salary, then you are having just a job. And a job
can give you only what you work for - salary. But if you
treat your job as a career and invest your time, money
and efforts in building your career, it will reward you
with status, satisfaction and happiness in addition to
salary.
2.
Become the most reliable employee:
Is your boss relaxed and not worried about unforeseen
emergencies, staff shortage, heavy workload, client
demands – because you are there? Well, you are already
on your path to becoming an
indispensable asset.
3.
Inherit the work culture of your grand parents:
Work was worship for your grand parents. The same
religious importance, they gave for worship was given to
the job. Do you?
4.
Develop an employers'
mindset:
Do you answer the phone when it keeps ringing, even
though you are not responsible for attending to it? Do
you pick up a piece of trash and put it in the dustbin
instead of leaving it for the cleaner? Do you feel sad
when you lose a prospective customer, even though you
are not the cause of it? Well, you are already
developing an employer’s mindset.
5.
Remember, you are getting paid for learning:
What you have learnt from the University at a huge cost,
is seldom used in the workplace. The experience you gain
in the work place boosts your earning power
tremendously. Your employer not only absorbs the cost of
training you but pays you to learn as well. Developing
gratitude for those who pay you to gain valuable
experience can do wonders to your career.
6.
Beware of employers’ rights:
Employers have a right to expect their employees to be
punctual, to be well-groomed and well-behaved; not to
use the organisation’s time and equipments for personal
work and not to say or do anything that affects the
organisation’s image and earnings. This is a
fundamental right of every employer and a fundamental
duty of every employee. Do you discharge your duty
voluntarily and willingly?
7.
Keep your ego under check:
Employers’ surveys reveal that employers give more
importance to discipline than to performance. Being
disciplined
can rescue an employee from lower levels of performance
but better performance cannot rescue an employee from
being indisciplined. Just because you perform well, your
indiscipline will not be condoned. Perform well and be
disciplined as well. |

7 Proven
Plans to prosperity
Research
finds that only twenty out of hundred millionaires had
inherited money, married money or had won a jackpot. The
rest had earned their millions through proper planning
and untiring efforts.
Learning and practising their strategies can help
anyone who want to become prosperous.
1.
Develop a strong belief:
Believe strongly that you too can become a millionaire,
irrespective of your family, educational and financial
background.
2.
Increase your financial IQ:
Become financially more intelligent. Learn about
investment vehicles. Learn about stock trading, forex
trading and commodity trading. Know the difference
between good debts and bad debts.
3.
Reduce consumption and increase investment:
During the wealth-build up phase, you must keep your
expenses to the indispensable minimum and invest the
surplus. Luxuries can be enjoyed later, from the
investment income.
4.
Multiply your income streams:
One must find different avenues of income. Income from a
part-time job, income from shares, interest from
deposits, rental income to mention a few.
5.
Do what you love or love what you do:
Take up a profession that is close to your heart. If
that is not possible, then whatever you do, do it with
your whole heart. When you love what you do, the best in
you will come out and bring the best for you.
6.
Maximize your efforts:
Whatever you are doing to earn money, do more of that.
If you are in business, it will accelerate your profits.
If you are in employment, it will accelerate your career
progress and result in higher earnings.
7.
Spend wisely:
If one squanders away money, even millions will not last
forever. Become wiser when it comes to expenses. One
must be aware at all times, his sources and amount of
income and expenses.

Investing in the wellbeing of employees leads to
business success
Workplaces
that invest in the wellbeing of employees, reap rewards
for employer and employees alike, including benefits
such as reduced stress, lower employee turnover and
enhanced organisational performance.
“Creating a psychologically healthy workplace means
more than just mediating problems. It is about promoting
good health, enhancing performance and creating a work
environment where both employees and the organisation
can thrive,” says David Ballard PsyD, MBA, Associate
Director of American Psychological Association.
Companies presented with the APA’s Psychologically
Healthy Workplace Award reported only 11% employee
turnover, compared to the national average of 40%, only
21% of the employees reported chronic stress, compared
to 34% nationally and 80% reported job satisfaction
compared to 66% nationally.
These award-winning companies also reported cost
savings and increase in productivity. Nike Tennessee
increased productivity by 51% and reduced injury rates
by 30%.
Psychologically healthy workplace practices consist of
five areas.
1)
Employee involvement.
2) Health and Safety.
3) Employee growth and development.
4) Work-life balance.
5) Employee recognition.
Employee participation in decision making, Skills
training and leadership development, Flexible work
arrangements and Programmes promoting healthy lifestyle
and behaviour choices are other qualities that define a
psychologically healthy workplace.

Aerobic Exercises that help you live longer and

10 Tips for a Better Memory |
|
Here are 10 research-proven tips for a better
memory, recommended by
Harvard
Medical School.
1. Believe in yourself:
People who are exposed to positive messages about
preserving memory into old age do better on memory
tasks.
2. Economize your brain use:
Take advantage of calendars, planners, maps and
file folders. Designate a place at home for your
glasses, keys and other items of frequent use.
3. Organise your thoughts:
Information broken into smaller chunks such as
city code and area code of a phone number is
easier to remember than a single long list.
4. Use all your senses:
The more senses you use while learning something,
the more of your brain will be involved in
retaining the learning.
5. Expand your brain:
Widen the brain region involved in learning by
reading aloud, drawing a picture or writing down
the information you want to learn.
6. Repeat it aloud:
Repeat it aloud, something which you just heard or
thought about.
7. Space it out:
Spacing out your learning instead of cramming in a
short period is very valuable especially while
learning complicated information.
8. Make a mnemonic:
Mnemonics such as acrostics is a creative way to
remember information. Another helpful mnemonics is
to create a story linking the items you want to
remember.
9. Challenge yourself:
Engaging in activities that require you to
concentrate and tax your memory will help you
maintain skills as you age. Do crossword puzzles,
try new recipes, travel and undertake projects or
hobbies that require skills you aren't familiar or
comfortable with.
10. Take a course:
Memory improvement courses are becoming more
common. Select a course that focuses on practical
ways to manage everyday challenges. Stay away from
courses that center on computer or concentration
games. Choose one, run by health professionals or
experts in psychology or cognitive rehabilitation.

Get your children out |
|
Today’s children are spending increasing amounts
of time indoors – watching television, playing
video games and surfing the net. This lack of
physical activity not only leads to obesity, but
affects their psychological health as well.
Parents want their children to reduce the
time they spend on watching television and playing
video games but don’t know how to motivate them.
There is a way, but parents must be prepared to
sacrifice their own time for the sake of their
children’s physical and mental well being.
Nancy M. Wells, PhD, environmental
psychologist at the
Cornell
University found that children who experienced
more green space near their home improved their
cognitive functioning. Presence of nature nearby
bolsters a child’s resilience against stress and
adversity. Without building a connection to the
natural world when they are young, it seems
unlikely that children will possess much of an
affiliation with Mother Earth as adults, says
Wells.
“If we had kids moving around and burning off
energy, I think we would have much less difficulty
with kids having trouble paying attention in the
classroom,” says Erickson, director of early
childhood mental health training programs at the
University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
“Humans have an innate affinity for the
natural world”, says Edward O.Wilson, PhD, a
Harvard University biologist, who introduced his
theory of ‘biophilia’.
Parents, Teachers, School administrators and
Community leaders must ensure availability of
adequate space and greenery for the children to
play, explore, learn and admire the natural world.
This positive addiction to the natural world will
help them overcome the addiction to television and
video games.

Happy marriage lowers
blood pressure |
|
Julianne
Holt-Lunstad, a psychologist at Brigham Young
University found that happily married people, both
men and women, have lower blood pressure than
singles. Having a network of supportive friends
did not improve the blood pressure for singles.
The volunteers wore portable blood pressure
monitors and blood pressure was recorded 72 times,
in a 24-hour day. The researchers wanted to record
the volunteers’ blood pressure doing whatever they
normally do in everyday life as getting one or two
readings in a clinic is not really representative
of the fluctuations that occur throughout the day.
All volunteers answered questions about their
social network and the quality of friendship.
Married volunteers completed questionnaires on the
quality of the relationship with their spouses.
The researchers found that during sleep the
blood pressure of happily married people dipped
more than that of singles. Earlier research has
shown that people whose blood pressure remains
high throughout the night are at much greater risk
of cardiovascular problems than people whose blood
pressure dips.
The study also found that unhappily married
people have higher blood pressure than both
happily married people and singles.
“It’s not just being married that benefits
health. What’s really the most protective of
health is having a happy marriage,” said Holt-Lunstad.
