What Camera Captured in Office

A hidden camera was installed in the Company premises and it observed the behavior of different employees. Here I present to you what all it captured.

• Some employees were busy doing their work sincerely.
• Some employees were busy in meetings, presentations and discussions.
• Some are doing workouts in Gym or playing various games like Table Tennis, Football, and Volleyball.
• Some celebrating and partying on occasion of birthdays, engagement, anniversaries etc.
• Some gossiping, discussing family and personal matters.
• Also there are few who use to ‘doing nothing’.

 So lets see what is captured in camera while looking at various employees.

The most happy, healthy and satisfied were those who were sincere and busy in doing their office work and also involved in some extracurricular activities like physical workouts or games or pursuing hobbies or nurturing some talent. Reason being that they kept themselves so busy throughout the day involved in various activities of their interest that there was hardly any time left for negative thoughts. Their day has been wonderful and enthusiastic.

And least happy were those who were in the category of ‘doing nothing’. They were those who complained and cursed the whole day about work, manager, colleagues, and company policies and so on. They didn’t even give any suggestions to improve the lacking that they noticed. They only complained to themselves. They had a very dull and non-enthusiastic day.

So then I realized that it is one’s own choice if he/she wants to make the day ’wonderful and enthusiastic’ or ‘dull and non-enthusiastic’.

Give or Take First !

In any organization, there can be two modes of working.
1) Taking Mode of Working.
2) Giving Mode of Working.

Taking Mode of working: In this mode of working, everybody demands something from others before giving anything. Nobody wants to be ‘first’ to give.
As an example, take a few cases and observe how this mode works.
The CEO says to the employees, “Firstly give me results, and then only I will give your good perks”.
An employee says, “Firstly give us good perks, then only we will give good results and our loyalty”.
Human Resource Managers says to employees, “Firstly show us sincerity and enthusiasm and then we will take initiatives for your welfare”.

So in this working environment, everybody demands something before giving anything. As a result there exists the feelings of selfishness, complains, frustration, helplessness. This finally leads to unfriendly and non-cooperative working environment.

Giving Mode of working : Everybody wants to give first before demanding something from others.
As an example, take the same cases and observe how this mode works.
CEO would like to give something (e.g. good perks or assurance or hope or promising future) to employees before demanding their commitment and loyalty.
Employees would like to give their commitment and sincerity and good results before demanding good wages from the organization.
Human Resource Managers would like to take initiatives for the welfare of employees before firstly expecting their sincerity and enthusiasm.
As in this mode of working, everybody is contributing first and then demanding. Hence there is a feeling of happiness, sincerity, commitment. This finally leads to a friendly and cooperative environment where everybody happily works for benefit of each other.


Some people don't believe in giving first. So in such a deadlock situation. What should we do. Who should start giving first. Is it CEO or the managers or the employees?

Solution is that  Everybody starts giving simultaneously. As a result everybody will start getting simultaneously.

And hence the give and take equation remains balanced.
