Hi Sawant,
I do agree with you that we should have celebrations for achievements but as most of us spend around 9 hours everyday at work, we tend to build a relationship with all our collegues, so celebrating a festival at office with some games will help team building, it could just be an event for 2-3 hours but it will spread a lot of happiness accross, it gives the employees a break from their regular schedule, which otherwise becomes very monotonous. Today the work culture has changed a lot its not the old ways that we follow, its the HR's duty to see to it that they come up with activities that can motivate the employees....

Hi Kavitha,
It looks like we all got into the debate and forgot to answer your questions, well we are planning the following events at our office:



Fire up the Ramp – A fashion ,open for all, any body can walk the ramp and the best dressed employee will be crowned as Mr / Miss Ethnic

* Ek Minit Ka Bhadsha – A well known one min show, enjoy the thrill for a min, beat your opponents and be the Bhadsha.

* Five to Fame – An opportunity to showoff your talent, be it dancing, singing, instruments, mimicry, jokes, shayari any thing you showcase and be the star of the evening.

Mr Sawant is correct, but the point is major people in India are lazy and most lazy are the HR, who first initiate and celebrate festivals in office and spoil decorum and since this closeness comes by celebrating events and festivals naturally collegues tend to become more personal as you HR term the collegues relation as of some family members, this is ridiculous, totally funny and its a sad thing that none of the HR could understand that what is professional life and what is personal. And people like to celebrate diwali with friends and family memebers not with colleagues and boss, and mostly all employees HATE THE HR , so dont get evil blessings of ur employees , allow them to rest @ home, rather than forcing them to come to office and putting some foolish act of urs, coz since ur big boss, even though ur employees hate ur games and arrangements they need to show u their smile.
Better understand o learned HRs its time u use your decisions wisely

Hi Ravi,
No organisation call their employees to come to office to celebrate festivals, it only happens on a day befor the festival, Also i am not sure were you are from that you are classifying Indians are lazy, that could be coz you do not believe in fun at work and you just wan to work through out without any relaxation, it would obviously make anybody lazy. As for employees hating HR, it depends on the kind of HR they have not all are hated.

Dear all, i suggest you'll to be out of scarcasm, and scarcastic beings who think HR is lazy, they do not know that HR is the spine of any organisation. I wonder whether there is net connectivity on SATURN :confused:.
Good suggestions .... my employees love any and all celebrations at office... they wait for the next one at office, we management too budget these expenses, all perfect planning. Birthday bashes, individual and team achievements, organisation milestones, festivals everything is a time for celebration. Also at my office we watch movie together on a friday evening as all employees prefer to watch it with their colleagues in the office. So if some feel it is waste of time by HR, blah blah happy thinking to them.... it was unnecessary to talk about HR for a query which was happy. People should know to be happy and keep others happy rather than these kinda unprofessional remarks. I wonder what loose tongue can one have?????

Dear All,

It is very hard to make the people understand who even don’t know what exactly HR is. And the people who think that HR is lazy. It is sure that some people have problem with the happiness of the employees. They even don’t want to reduce the gap in between the Management and the Employees. They want to live like a HITLER in the organization. With this type of attitude no one can retain the employees in the organization. Instead of giving good suggestions here some people try to harass others and even saying that people in India are lazy.

Treating staff as family members and celebrating birthdays and festivals makes them happy and some people have allergy from someone’s happiness.

There is no need to suggest anything to that kind of people because they don’t want to be correct.

Well I have only one line to say to that kind people “GET WELL SOON”.

Hi there,

I regret for my comments to draw a line between what is official and not official activities.
Festival celebrations in office become official business then whom to blame?
Is it really, HR domain?

Let’s, common sense prevails over sentimental and emotional outburst.

We are social but office place is work place we socialize but for greeting and meetings to express our heartiest feelings. This concept of organization as family does not necessarily mean it’s truly official business to celebrate festival in the offices.

I can see many sentiments are hurts by my comments, but some shows maturity acknowledging my comments by truly experienced HR professionals. They exhibited their interpretation and thin line which separate both issues from official to unofficial.

I have no objection for celebrating at home inviting friends and colleagues and no permission of certification required for this. But celebrating in office means it’s an issue of office decorum, decency and disciplines as well as adherence to the sense of purpose.

I know many would not agree because for them who argue in favor, this is debatable issue and will remain debatable until become matured enough to exhibit that end results for each activity counts.

This subject of post is not for seniors and experienced HR professional to comment is final conclusion.

For your information I celebrate my “Diwali” with our Indian friends in Bahrain and not in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Indian community from all section and region overseas including religions celebrate Diwali in gulf and in Africa as well because I also worked in Africa and celebrated Diwali but not in office.

Happy Diwali to all,

Warm Regards

Hi All,

Have read few comments from Sawant, Pankaj, Tina and Padmanaban. I feel its individual's perception on celebrations, which makes people happy and creates a sweet curve (smile) on everyones faces.

Mr. Sawant, please keep in mind we are here to share our experiences, suggestions, etc. we should not pass sarcastic remarks on each other. If you didn't like to idea about celebrating Diwali or you had no suggestions for Diwali Celebrations you shouldn't have added your comments. You should have simply ignored it. All the queries raised in this forum are not supposed to be answered if you do not have any value to add.

Dear Pankaj,

You wanted some suggestions for Diwali Gifts. You may check for Gift vouchers like Sodexo, Accor, Globus, Westside, Shopper's Stop, C&M, Reebok, may be Fab India, etc. etc. With Sodexo and Accor you have choice for multiple outlets whereas with others you have selected choice. You may also give them the cash and let them buy their own gifts within a time limit and submit the bills to the organization, with this option they have a choice of buying anything of their choice and utility.

At the end "Wishing all the members of Cite HR, a very happy and prosperous Diwali".

Best wishes.

Hi Nishi,
I request you, please do not spread myths that Diwali Celebrations is HR practice. This is damaging to HR practices in India. There is no connection except bonus payment and sharing profits as custom.
Celebtations is one social activities and not commerce, trade or industry management domain.
If you don't like comnents ignore it but do not try to reinforce the wrong belief and myths in the minds of people.
Regards
Sawant
