Hello from the HR desk. Hope you missed us. This month we are so excited to share with you an interesting research conducted by the Stanford University on management practices. We definitely have a reason to brag now. But before that, lets find out what it was.
The said research has measured an increased productivity rate in a company if it adopted good management practices. The research found out that the core set of practices increases the profit and productivity in an organization. During the study, the researchers compared textile industries which adopted few ‘best’ practices to those which didn’t adopt the same. There was an improvement in productivity by 10 percent within a few months of adoption.
And what were these practices? Yeap, almost the same as we do at AnyLinuxWork. Things like incentives based on the performance, clear job assignments and preventive maintenance were also encouraged in an organization. The research even suggested little things like observing, recording and meeting. Ofcourse there can never be a comparison between a textile company and a software company, yet, the principles of good management are quite cosmopolitan and pretty much the same. The practices adopted by the ALW management are well thought-out and properly implemented.
First of all, our team really understands and truly values time. We have encouraged them to smartly work their way up to their targets instead of sitting for late hours or taking work at home. We follow the five-day work module so that everyone gets to have a good time with family and friends. And so an average ALW employee is excited to come back to work on Mondays and that too with a fresh mind and loads of energy.
Secondly, we believe in encouraging our team members to improve quality of their life. We conduct personal grooming sessions from time to time, invite their family members to attend office functions and parties and encourage them towards cultural or creative activities.
Thirdly, our monthly ‘Meri Fitness’ adventures evoke the sports side of our team. We go for trekking, picnics, swing resorts etc so as to make our team keep fit and healthy. In addition, there are desk top exercises being practiced right at the work place apart from educating them on Yoga Asans and other health tips.
And the latest in the list is our Hi5 initiative that deliberately and consciously ensures that our employees are stress-free and they enjoy their work. The Hi5 team keeps organizing fun events at work place to create a friendly and warm environment.
Only last year, we shared with you our several management practices. And now the research seems to only ‘authenticate’ them. Yet, we were the first to know. Yay!

The latest gossip on the IT-insel world has been what? No prizes for guessing. Stress of course. And the recently released Harvard Business Review has made it all the more clear that stress ‘needs’ a handling. It cannot be dismissed as a mere gimmick or fashionable gossip. It needs to be addressed. If the review were to be believed, stress has a direct effect on an employee’s productivity. Ofcourse, the doctors have been telling us since long that it severely affects our health.
So what’s so much to discuss? Well for one ALW has been following quite a few tips that the Review has recently posted. First, the Review cautions against worrying alone. Instead, it suggests, an employee must talk to peers or someone he/she trusts. Share the burden by talking. And that’s what we do at ALW. Our team members and seniors are like a family. We can spill our heart out to anyone around and this keeps us going through a rough day.
The Happy Working or the Hi5 initiative of ALW has been making a positive difference towards creating a stress-free environment. The latest offering is to bring smiles on everyone’s face. The HR cell recently invited childhood pictures of employees to be submitted at the cell and displayed. The most interesting part was guessing as to who was who. The exercise eventually burst into a riot of laughter as team members cracked jokes about childhood. It was almost unbelievable as to how a little thoughtful deed could make everyone’s day.
ALW work culture has yet another characteristic that sets it apart. We believe in logical analysis of things instead of getting too personal with work. What Harvard has suggested now, we have been practicing for ages. This means that one can easily avoid or beat stress if he/she gets the facts right. Often our worries our not logical. They stem from incomplete pieces of information. At ALW, we never believe anything at first sight. We always try to find out the what, where, when, why and how of a situation to avoid stress later, something that the Review also suggested.
Lastly, ALW team is a happy team. Why? Because we accept disappointments the way we celebrate successes. We usually let it go when it is gone. We don’t regret or worry about it. For us, every experience is a learning experience. And so there’s nothing like a failure at ALW.

It all begins with a small idea. Idea that is a culmination of the then unrealistic imagination and that takes off for a shape and size that get bigger with implementation.
One such idea struck us recently and what timing- the New Year’s. It’s the same old spirit of innovating newer work practices but it’s the newest way to practise the practice.
The newest news in the new at the much new spirit-filled AnyLinuxWork is the Happy Working Campaign kicked off with much zeal on January 4th. It is an HR initiative to maintain a stress-free work environment. More importantly, it’s a campaign to make people love their work, workplace and live a stress-free life in general.
In the words of ALW CEO Vivek Singhal, “I want to see my people enjoy work like never before. I want them enjoy it like it’s their life and enjoy it like it’s their love. I want them to enjoy it without stress. That’s our Happy Working Campaign for the year 2011. “
For older teammates, however, this is not very surprising as we have always believed in and have encouraged a culture of healthy work and healthy life. The only difference this year is that we are going to see it get implemented in deeds and activities. We are determined to ensure that our people are happy at work, not just working for the sake of it or under pressure. The entire year will witness programs on the theme focusing and making people really implement a stress-free work life. Doesn’t that sound exciting?
Well it already generated a lot of enthusiasm among the team mates. The first activity started with the writing on the wall. And what did they write? Well, answers to an interesting question. ALW team mates geared up to think of witty replies to ‘Why a cycle can’t stand alone?’ and painted the ALWS wall with their thoughts. The Happy Working Campaign would have more such events and activities during the year. Watch this space to get more updates.

The healthiest things in the world are often the simplest too. And the fittest things in the world usually require the least effort. All you need is a great idea and a bunch of ardent friends. That’s what we did a few weeks ago. The AnyLinuxWork Team got together for some real adventure with the organizing of two action-packed events.
The first was a super fitness challenge christened as Tandurusti Ki Pariksha (meaning test of fitness/health). This was a trekking expedition organized in town for the entire team. Since, trekking stimulates our body, we decided to give it a try. And well it wasn’t just a trial, as it turned out. It was quite an effort.
Thus began another great culture at ALW- the culture of adventure sports. The trekking expedition took off at 9 am sharp from the bottom of the famous Ralamandal hill in town. In scorching heat, not to mention the humidity, members truly got the taste of ‘heated trekking’ that day. To top that, there were many other fitness-challenge activities that didn’t let them rest even for a while. There were tugs of War, Skipping and Yoga positions. Team members enthusiastically participated in the event that left them feeling fitter than before.
The second was a picnic to a place of historical significance in the state called Mandu. But that definitely involved the best of all physical exercises i.e walking. The rains on ALW’s picnic provided the perfect setting and added to the adventure. We took care of the littlest details to ensure the trip went great just when it became perfect.
It was as if the weather was favouring us. It was rainy and foggy that added to the beauty and splendour of Mandu’s palaces. The next day we were all thrilled to read in the newspapers that it was declared by MP tourism as the best day to visit the place. During the trip, the excitement of our team members reached its peak as we played games, won prizes and dug into snacks.
While returning the only thing that we found ourselves discussing was the plan of the next fitness expedition! As always, ALW team showed its undying commitment to stay fit and stay healthy.

Leaders, some say, are born and not made. However, yet another school of thought keeps fighting off this idea and so we have some real good B-Schools across the country. Most good leaders won’t be able to teach you leadership. That’s simply because more than flaunting leadership, they have practiced it.
Leaders at AnyLinuxWork have one thing in common- they are accessible to everyone. You can walk in to them with ideas, thoughts, doubts, complaints and clues anytime. IO leadership believes in encouraging people to discover their individual goals for their lives. This, in turn, widens the landscape of work at IO adding ever newer dimensions to work culture and work quality.
At Office Space today, lets explore some very interesting qualities of the leaders at AnyLinuxWork. And yes many of these, you will realize, are cultivable.
Effervescence: Leaders at AnyLinuxWork are full of life and have a knack for infusing their energy into others. They are people who have the ability to light up the environment around. All they need is a good joke to start a meeting or just entering a board room with a real good ‘Hello everyone!’.
Amour-propre: This is French for ‘self-love’. IO leaders, however, love work ethics and stick to them. They love the brand IO that they have created and developed over the years. This love translates into their efficiency in traveling any distance to making the brand successful.
Integrity: Jack Welch- the man behind initiatives like Six Sigma quality, e-business and former CEO of General Electric- has more than once proved that you cannot lead unless you have integrity. In his autobiography, Welch shares: “I stuck to some pretty basic ideas that worked for me, integrity being the biggest one.”
At AnyLinuxWork, integrity is almost synonymous to leadership. Our employees get inspired to work with integrity because they have seen our leaders do the same. Our leaders have always been people of strong values and honesty. It is thus no surprise that we see the same values being transferred down to the other levels of leadership. .
Organized life: Infosys Founder Narayan Murthy cautions- ‘workoholism’ must not be aped. A few months ago, IO leaders had shared affinity with this idea and had inspired the rest of the team. As a result, most employees have now cultivated a habit of working smart instead of working more. Our leaders lead a life that emphasizes the importance of inter-personal relationships. They are equally committed to their personal lives. Thus they encourage their subordinates in their personal achievements as well. They have successfully created such an environment at our office that each individual focuses on having a good life and not just professional success. In addition, it is our policy to be mindful of the health and personal life of the employees. Joint celebrations, fitness initiatives, recreation facilities etc are some of the most practical things we do at IO to ensure that each one leads a healthy and happy life.
Complimenting: How easy and handy it comes to point out mistakes. A heart of appreciation, ironically, doesn’t come so easy. However, the art of complimenting is something that is an integral part of the IO work culture. Nothing tastes better than a compliment right out of the horse’s mouth. Apart from an organized system of encouragement through ‘Employee of the Month Award’, IO leaders never miss out on showering words of appreciation to team members even in the smallest of achievements.
Self-domain: Most people keep waiting for ‘the big opportunity’ for exercising their leadership skills. This is definitely a mistake. A good leader leads a team of two as energetically as he does a team of 20. What really matters in leadership is not the size but the spirit of leading. Effective leaders love their domain of work and transmit this feeling in others around them.
We have tried to inculcate this habit of leadership in each employee by making him or her accountable for the work assigned. IO leaders give each member enough freedom to logically take decisions on their respective assignments. As a result, each team member never feels insufficient to deliver his or her best.
These are a few more visible qualities of our leaders apart from many personal qualities that they have like a good character, sportsman’s spirit and a generous heart. The good news is IO provides ample opportunities for cultivating these qualities and practice leadership right from where one is placed. If this can happen at IO, it can happen anywhere. There may be a great leader sleeping inside you. It’s time to wake him up.

An engineer was asked: How’s life? He said: ‘Oh you mean my life on weekends?’ Unfortunately, most techies in India live their life on weekends. The rest of the time they are practically, mentally and intellectually working their way up to their respective companies.
AnyLinuxWork recently came across an interesting survey that confirms this. According to Liz Ryan, former Fortune 500 HR executive in Business Week, there are many unhealthy HR practices that are prevalent today. But the good news is that IO happens to be an antidote to these HR faux pas.
The ‘Time-off policy’, in Ryan’s article, has been listed as one of the fatal HR policies as it ignores the personal life of the employees and expects them to think about the company 24 hours. At IO, on the other hand, we believe in creating an environment where each individual grows not only professionally but personally as well. The biggest check provided at IO is a strict adherence to working hours i.e from 9.30 am to 7.30 pm.
Employees and clients both have been made to understand the importance of this time that usually results into efficient work, meeting of deadlines and no extra working hours.
In addition, we encourage the employees to live a healthy life through including Office Yoga sessions, desktop exercise guidance etc. The ‘Nirvana’ at IO is an exclusive place reserved for the recreation of our employees who can take a break during the day and listen to music, play and read books.
Another culture that has been inculcated so well at IO is the importance of celebrations. The IO calendar is usually filled with birthday bashes, festival celebrations, New Year party and so on. The idea is to build a common platform and a sense of camaraderie where everyone gets to share his or her life with others.
Yet another fatal HR policy is the lack of right appraisal as per the list. Most HR cells in India would look at appraisals only from the point of view of increments. However, at IO, appraisals are a platform for a healthy growth of our employees. We focus on giving the credit to the right person while also providing him with more challenges to improve in the next tenure.
The overall environment here is filled with positive energy which is the essence of the IO family.

Hello and a warm welcome to the HR blog space of AnyLinuxWork.com. Human expression finds foremost place in Human Resource Management and we wish to explore this right as much as we can.
Corporate life is full of interesting observations about life in general and professions in particular. The two famous rules of bosses in general that are prevalent in corporate world are: Rule 1: The Boss is always right. Rule 2: If the Boss is wrong, refer to Rule 1.
That’s when the HR intervenes and creates its own set of rules. Rule 1: The Boss is always right. Rule 2: If the Boss is wrong, tell HR manager. Rule 3: If the Boss is still wrong, refer to Rule 1.
Jokes apart, HR happens to be one of the most sought-after careers today and an indispensable part of any organization. HR cell truly bridges the gap and balances the interests of the organization and the employees. Many companies ascribe their HR department with creating a positive environment within.
The HR cell of AnyLinuxWork is no different as it always strives to work in the interest of all. But what separates our HR department from others is the proactiveness of learning from sources outside IO. And that’s when we feel the need of sharing things that we learn from others. Hence, the HR blog space.
This is a platform where we will update our readers with what is happening around the world which might be influencing the Human Resources directly or indirectly. We are equally eager to share our own perspectives on this front with the rest of the world. We shall be back with interesting information, stories, anecdotes, experiences and tales next week. Watch this space!

How easy it is to preach than practice. One such example was heard only last month in Hyderbad, also called Cyberabad. Representatives from the IT industry had urged the government to reduce the duration of power cuts as they could not run generators for five to six hours. Then there were reports that said that the local government had barred the VIP zones from the power cuts while the private regions continued to suffer. Unfair, isn’t it?
Unlike Hyderabad, in Madhya Pradesh and particularly in Indore, we have been reading reports of all the government offices being instructed by the State not to use air conditioners. Most Indians would view it as ‘divine justice’ as at least once the government offices and VIP zones have suffered the brunt of others’ carelessness.
However, at AnyLinuxWork, we have realized one thing- whoever’s fault it is, consequences have to be borne by all. Hence, we have become all the more vigilant in using electricity wisely. Most employees, instead of choosing to mock at their public sector counterparts, have decided to practice wise consumption of power at homes, offices that they visit or friends’ houses that they go to.
Many of them have been sharing experiences where they have made it a point to switch off bulbs, fans, coolers etc when not in use. Shares an employee, “Even if I use a changing room of a shopping mall, I ensure that I switch off the light before leaving.”
Wow! That sounds very responsible and pretty much like the IO culture that has been so well-embedded in the hearts and minds of our employees. In the last blog itself, we had shared how wise power consumption is steadily becoming the habit of most of our employees not only at offices but also at homes.
That way, IO members feel that they are able to justly return the sacrifice being made by the public sector employees of the State. We truly respect the State Government’s stand on this. And we wish to say that we are with them in saving precious electricity.
Please do feel free to share your ‘power’ smart ideas with us.

Stretching life, not hours
This was yet another week of stretching at AnyLinuxWork and the flamboyance on the face of the team members is pleasantly visible. That’s the best part about exercising. It gives us a great feeling. Even if we may be still far away from being healthy, exercising already gives us a feeling that are fit- a motivation we all badly need for treading farther on the fitness road.
AnyLinuxWork employees thus are learning to stretch their lives through exercising at work, instead of stretching hours of work. However, our trainers have also tried to keep a good balance between stretching and over-stretching. Last week thus the IO team re-learnt a lesson about over-doing things.
The key to a good stretching sessions, as all of us learnt, is to feel good and not strained. It may sound a bit paradoxical but stretching should not be stretched too far. Just the right note and we could be playing a melodious composition of health.
Coming back to our stretching exercises, IO is delighted to share some more easy-to-do stretching for which our body would really thank us.
Side neck stretch: To stretch the muscles along the side of neck, face forward and look straight ahead.
- Tilt head toward one side, gently pushing the ear toward the shoulder. Hold for 15 seconds.
- Lift the head into a normal, upright position. Relax, and repeat three times on each side.
Head turn: To stretch the muscles along the side and back of neck and at the top of the back, start facing forward.
- Slowly turn the head and look to one side until the chin is parallel with the shoulder. Be sure to keep the shoulders straight ahead. Hold for three seconds.
- Repeat the same steps on the other side.
- Drop the chin gently to the chest before returning to the upright starting position. Repeat all steps five times.
Chin tuck: The chin tuck also loosens stiff neck and shoulder muscles.
- Start facing straight ahead.
- Keeping the back straight, pull the chin toward the chest until one feels a stretch along the back of the neck. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds. Relax, return to the starting position and repeat.
Shoulder shrug: The shoulder shrug targets tight neck, shoulder and upper back muscles.
- Slowly bring the shoulders up toward the ears. Hold for three seconds.
- Then, roll the shoulders back and down. Relax and repeat five to 10 times.
Back stretch: One can feel this stretch along one’s mid- and lower back muscles.
- Sit forward in a chair so that there’s a little room between one’s back and the back of the chair.
- Face forward and cross the right leg over the left.
- Put the left hand on the right knee, and gently pull toward the left side while slowly turning the head and shoulders to the right. Keep turning until one sees the wall behind one’s right shoulder. Don’t force the turn — go just until one feels a nice stretch in one’s back. Hold for eight to 10 seconds. Relax and repeat on the other side.
Remember these gentle moves should feel good — never painful. That’s the code. Happy Stretching!

Topping days with desktop exercise
When man was a nomad, he was uncivilized but fit. Today man is an inventor and user of electronic technology, civilized but unfit. He sure has traveled through Stone Age, Iron Age to Electronics Age but the journey has left him flabby.
Like employees of AnyLinuxWork , most professionals and students rely much on their laptops, desktops et al. Most people rightly think that this makes them efficient and faster. However, what they don’t realize is that these gadgets may be weakening down their immunity system by under-utilizing their body for manual/physical tasks.
That is where, AnyLinuxWork employees beg to differ. Every five minutes, they get up and walk around. They stretch and flex parts of their bodies like wrists, shoulders, neck, back, lower back, waist, neck, thighs to extremities like fingers, ankles and toes to prevent chronic aches.
The latest on IO’s fitness palate is the guidance that they get from desktop exercise sessions. These sessions are held every week for all AnyLinuxWork employees who never miss out on a single day.
The first phase of these sessions involve enlightening the employees about the ill effects of sitting for long duration. Now they have learnt about appropriate sitting posture, which they practiced first during the exercise sessions.
The best about Desktop exercises is that they can be done anytime during the day. Two, they are being increasingly encouraged in the current work cultures worldwide. AnyLinuxWork is one of the pioneers in India that have imbibed it among employees. Here are a few extremely easy exercises that we do at AnyLinuxWork.
Office Yoga
Yoga can be fun especially when you know it can help in releasing tension and increasing muscle strength and flexibility. Some Office Yoga tips:
1. Stretching: Stretch with the arms’ shoulder width apart, clasp hands and elbows backward. It can adjust the shoulder muscle imbalance and promote the blood of ministry of the head, neck, and shoulder to circulate.
2. Swing Shoulder: Hold the left leg with right hand; put the left hand behind back. Then swing shoulder from left to right for 3-5 times. It can adjust the shoulder muscle balance.
3. Neck and spinal column: Put the center of gravity on the left or right and take exercise for 20 times. It can adjust the pliability of spinal column and neck; promote the blood circulation.
4. Waist and shoulder: Bend body slowly for 10 times. It can relieve the fatigue of waist and should; promote metabolism.
5. Exercise for pelvis: Put hands on the knee, then put the center of gravity on the left leg or right leg and take exercise for 50 times. It can relieve the fatigue of pelvis.
Is that much of a deal? Not for AnyLinuxWork employees for sure. It is said that the best things come in small packages. Stretching is a little routine that can work wonders and add efficiency to our work as well. Lets do a bit of stretching today.
