Early education or pre-primary schools are vital for the preparation of children for a healthy and successful primary education. Many parents feel that children at that age are still too small to attend school and should be spending more time having fun at home. While this is true it is important that their early play and exploration is engaging, educative and stimulating. A well designed early years curriculum provides many stimuli and works towards seeing measurable growth in the child during his time at school. Some of the key benefits that you can expect from sending your child to an early years program will be:

Gives young children socio-emotional growth

One of the first things we need to teach our children is how to separate from their primary caregivers. For a child, knowing that he can separate from his parents into a new environment with new caregivers and have them come back for them a few hours later reinforces healthy separation and emotional security. This is fundamentally helpful for the child to feel comfortable, confident and engaged when they finally move on to full time schooling. A good early learning program focuses on building this independence in a child and measures for factors that show this growth. Interacting, observing and playing with other children also teaches a child how a social group operates and makes them comfortable amongst their peers in school.  

Foundation for numeracy and language skills

Early learning focuses on basic numeracy and language skills. While these are also taught at the primary level, it has been seen that students who engage in early learning are able to have a deeper and more conceptual experience rather than learning the basics. Children start to learn a language at a very young age and in fact, in India, they are often learning multiple languages at home. A good early learning or pre-primary program reinforces these skills. Children are also taught numeracy through different senses.  For example, counting can be taught by moving beads, watching a teacher or singing a song. This engages all of their senses in learning and awakens the child’s interests.  

Fine and Gross Motor development

Early learning or pre-primary programs also engage the physical needs of a child. Through play and special learning toys, teachers are able to create situations in which the child can engage their fine motor (fingers, hands, eyes) or their gross motor skills (running, jumping and crawling).  Exposure to a variety of environments and surfaces gives the child an opportunity to develop their muscles and prepare themselves for life.    

Engagement and exploration

All humans are constantly learning and children in their early years are learning at an extremely rapid pace. Thus it is important to expose them to new environments, people and peers. A new teacher, friend or friend’s parent may be able to give an important and personality forming experience to the child.  These experiences will help them grow into strong confident children who are able to navigate the world and become model citizens.  

Take your time and pick the right program, but remember, that by choosing the right early education or pre-primary school you can give your child that head starts to be successful.

‘An organization’s culture must evolve in the next five years for their company to succeed, grow, and retain the best people.’ That’s what 80% of people said in an eye-opening 2018 study from Deloitte. Culture no longer fits in the confines of token birthday cakes and team outings. Culture today is an integral part of corporate strategy and has been shapeshifting over the years to include multiple meanings.

So, what does culture mean exactly?

According to Richard Perrin, Partner, Head of Advisory, KPMG Moldova, “Organizational culture is the sum of values and rituals which serve as ‘glue’ to integrate the members of the organization.”

In today’s increasingly dynamic job market, this need to integrate members has become more urgent than ever. There has also been a tectonic change in how candidates, especially millennials, look for a job. In addition to the normal parameters of pay scales and benefits, job seekers today evaluate organizations for the best fit. While you may be looking for the people who best fit your company’s culture, they are trying to find whether your company is the best fit for them.

And how can you be that organization? The one that everyone would be excited to work for? In my 20 years of experience working in across multiple industries, I have seen that there are a host of factors that go into the making of a culturally strong organization. I am attempting to describe a few top of the list here.

Establishing clear values

When terrorists took over the Taj Hotel in Mumbai on that fateful evening in November 2008, it immediately made headlines the world over. But as the harrowing attack was being brought under control, another piece of news grabbed the world’s attention. Of how various employees showed exemplary behaviour by risking their lives to save the lives of several guests and helping them escape. They had clearly acted on their own imbibing the core values of the Tata Group, which are hospitality and service. 

Laying down well-defined values gives employees watchwords to belong to. It inspires them, mobilizes them, and creates a sense of involvement, making them feel part of the organization be it internal engagements or business relations.

The IKEA effect

Participation and involvement is one of the crucial ingredients of a strong organizational culture and can be illustrated by the IKEA effect. The concept, described as part of consumer psychology, is quite simple. When a person is involved in building even a part of a product, they are immediately filled with a sense of pride and tend to assign a greater value to the end result. Similarly, in an organization, employees feels more motivated and experience higher job satisfaction when they feel that their participation is crucial to the company’s success.

A 2017 study from Bain & Company across 400 companies who had successfully achieved their goals for transformation rated engagement and participation as the top factor. The ability to effectively engage all the employees as one towards achieving the company’s goals was rated more than 50% higher than even competitive strategies. Among the participants, four out of five agreed that “today’s business leaders must trust and empower people, not command and control them.”

For any transformative program to succeed in the workplace, it needs to function as a unified whole with employees being the engine. As Antoine De Saint-Exupery, said in The Little Prince, “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the people to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

Driving entrepreneurship

In other words, employees feel empowered with the autonomy they have been given, and this fosters entrepreneurship. “Self-organization enables employees to act more like entrepreneurs and self-direct their work instead of reporting to a manager who tells them what to do,” says Jon Wolske, former Culture Evangelist and Insights Manager at Zappos, in an E&Y article.

Indeed, after Zappos CEO, Tony Hsieh, introduced holacracy, a system of decentralization and self-management, in 2013, the company announced sales in excess of US$ 2 billion by the end of 2015. Interesting, right?

Organizations across sectors have been attempting to create and assign P&Ls two to three levels below the CEO and empowering them with financial decisions. This helps mid-level managers understand the linkage of their decisions to the top and bottom line a lot more clearly, thereby driving real entrepreneurial behaviour at each level.

A rewarding culture

Not only is individual entrepreneurship a crucial part of a robust organizational culture but also one that is bound to create palpable impact. As a Salesforce 2017 report pointed out, employees who felt their voices were heard were 4.6 times more likely to put in their best effort.

But embedding transformation at all levels in the organization also calls for follow-through; an acknowledgment of the employees’ dedication.

After all, who doesn’t want recognition for a job well done?

A good recognition program is one of the key ingredients for a balanced culture. In a Globoforce report, 85% of HR managers surveyed said that employee recognition and reward programs are an important part of organizational culture and boots engagement. It does go a long way in humanizing employee experience at the workplace, which in turn increases retention and productivity.

Designing a reward and recognition program that goes beyond rewarding performance and includes aspects like recognising desired behaviours (and thus strengthening desired culture at workplace), celebrating life events, and rewarding new business ideas have an extremely positive impact on employee morale.

A diverse culture

But there is another reward that you can give your employee, which is crucial to establishing a harmonious work culture. Recognizing their identity, background, and individuality.

The recognition of diversity is a key factor in assessing the robustness of an organization’s culture. It is also inexorably linked to the performance, profitability, and effectiveness of an organization.

Qantas Airlines CEO Alan Joyce can vouch for that. In 2017, the airline registered its second-highest profits ever, and Joyce attributed their success to a very diverse environment and a very inclusive culture,’ as he told The Australian Business Review.

And how do you define that inclusion? A truly robust diversity and inclusion initiative is all-encompassing. The Nukkad Teafe in Raipur gained popularity and has excellent customer retention for not just its food but also because it employs hearing and speech impaired staff. In Wipro’s sprawling campuses, Braille signages, wheelchair ramps, and voice-activated elevators well and truly embrace and include the differentially abled into the organization.

This year, L’Oréal USA was one of the companies that achieved a perfect 100% score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s annual Corporate Equality Index, which ranks US companies for their efforts to include the LGBTQ community. The company is proud of its partner benefits programs, awareness and accountability programs, and other initiatives that drive its mission of ‘Beauty for All.’

A Manpower report that came out in 2015 shows that 59% of corporate leaders believe that one of the most powerful changes that an organization can bring about is a gender-neutral culture. And it can be achieved only by getting past what Manpower calls an ‘entrenched male culture,’ and consciously including all genders and sexual orientations across all levels, diversity in leadership, and recognizing different needs. And that, I strongly believe, is a potent ingredient in making a culture rich and vibrant.

Infrastructure that supports culture

However, even the most lovingly built cultures can begin to unravel if an equally carefully designed physical infrastructure does not support it. Workplace design is crucial in effectively maintaining the company’s culture as it has been shown to have an impact on employee wellbeing and engagement.

Again, it comes down to having autonomy. A 2016 global study by Steelcase noted that 88% of employees who had more control over their workspace with the flexibility to choose where and how they worked along with accompanying equipment like good lighting were highly engaged and productive.

An open office plan, for example, promotes transparency and encourages a healthy and collaborative culture. It is more welcoming, immediate, and fosters a sense of community. Offices these days are following the No cabins, No doors culture which along with beautifully designed collaborative spaces enable employees to be more interactive and approachable.

However, an open office plan does not suit all types of businesses, and one needs to choose wisely. Perhaps, designing some areas in the open office model while retaining privacy in others might work better. Ultimately, the key is to leverage office space to the maximum in building a resilient workplace, which is in effect, the core of a strong organizational culture.

Building culture that’s unique to one’s company is tricky and requires an investment of thought and leadership time more than any other resource. There is no perfect recipe, but there are tried and tested ones. One needs to keep working on it, keeping room for culture to evolve positively given that changes in economy, competitive landscape or organization’s business strategy itself may warrant a change in some if not all aspects of the culture.

Latest research has shown that people successfully treated for visceral leishmaniasis or Kala Azar in South Asia can still infect others if they develop a skin condition known as post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL). This could be a threat to elimination of leishmaniasis in South Asia. 

The objective of the study was to assess whether parasites in the skin of PKDL patients could be transmitted to the sandflies that transmit kala-azar.  

The results of the study conducted by the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) and the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh were published in Clinical Infectious Diseases this week.  

Patients can develop PKDL – skin lesions in the form of rashes and nodules – usually six months to one year after successfully completing treatment for visceral leishmaniasis, a deadly parasitic disease transmitted by sandflies also known as kala-azar, or black fever. PKDL lesions contain the same parasite that causes kala-azar. 

“This is the largest study of its type to date. Until now, information on the role of PKDL was scarce and scattered across decades of different research initiatives,” said Dr Jorge Alvar, senior leishmaniasis advisor at DNDi and co-principal investigator of the study. “The results unequivocally show that PKDL is of pivotal importance for maintaining transmission of the disease in-between epidemics.”

As part of the trial, PKDL patients allowed themselves to be bitten by laboratory-reared sandflies (which were free from infection) by plunging their hands into a cage for 15 minutes containing male and female sandflies. The sandflies were then analysed for the parasites that cause kala-azar. 

The results showed that nearly 60% of the 47 PKDL patients in the study passed on the parasites to sandflies. This means the insects could then go on to infect someone else. 

“Just because PKDL is not fatal it has largely been ignored by public health efforts, and many scientific questions around its role have remained unaddressed,” said Dr Dinesh Mondal, senior scientist at the icddr,b and principal investigator of the study. “While these new findings don’t answer all our questions, they do show that early treatment of PKDL patients will be a critical element of any leishmaniasis public health and elimination strategy.” 

People with PKDL sometimes remain untreated for a long time. Transmission of the disease could therefore be occurring even when kala-azar is controlled and small numbers are being reported.

‘’Great strides have been made in the control of kala-azar in South Asia, but this study shows that now we must engage in active PKDL case detection and provide prompt treatment as an integral part of kala-azar control and elimination,” said Dr Suman Rijal, Director of the DNDi Regional Office in India. “PKDL must be addressed in order to sustain elimination or we risk jeopardizing our earlier successes.”

DNDi is now preparing a similar study in Sudan. DNDi is also running clinical trials to test two treatment regimens for patients with PKDL, in South Asia and East Africa, in a bid to make treatments simpler, safer and more effective. Learn more here.

Today we often see business people travel to other countries for business and stay there Lifetime for their growth; you rarely get to hear things like a businessman coming from another country and staying in India and expanding his business. 

We came to know about a talented young businessman from Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah, who lived a royal life in Jeddah for 21 years, is now enjoying his life and also expanding his business in our country. Maybe he was born to live in India and expand his empire, not in Dubai but India. We are talking about young Entrepreneur Jonaid Bin Tajuddin Mohammed, who is a renowned businessman and very much famous in B-town and Telugu film Industry. Co-Owner of Bahubali Boxers & Telugu Tigers, and energetic Entrepreneur, A Philanthropist, Real Patriotic Indian. Very few know his actual name which is Jonaiduddin Mohammed as Arabic people add fathers name after their death, so Jonaiduddin too added his father’s name with his name.

Jonaid Bin Tajuddin is a famous face of Hyderabad. From a few years now, he is also into the business of Mining, Consultancy Hospitality, Real Estate, trading all. Awesome to see a young guy handling such a considerable Empire with his own. Surely he has that extra edge than other people in the business when you talk about managing bigger things.

He is not finished here Jonaid is also planning to invest more in IT, as Jonaid Bin Tajuddin  Mohammed feels IT is the future in India. He thinks India is a place of opportunities. You have to be smart in indenting the right things to progress in India and if you can do that than India is a country which can give a significant return on your investments.

Jonaid love life has been in talks for many times as his name has been linked with many top actresses and Models. However, he has never talk anything related to it openly. Maybe his presence in significant B-town parties and his pictures with top models and actresses has created such news and its not a big thing, he is young, he is rich, and these rumors are part of life. Every prominent personality face this thing in their life.

Jonaid was active in Andhra Politics with Nara Chandrababu Naidu for more than a decade. His involvement is seen in many places, in Hyderabad and Andhra in politics, films, and businesses. He is starting his own sports League, Telugu Premier League, and Big Boxing Battle. 

Here’s wishing enthusiastic young businessman Jonaid Bin Tajuddin AI Mohammed all the best for the future ventures and we hope he does more enjoyable things in life.
