 General Factors that employee expects
What is expected?
For the skill, knowledge, commitment given, employees
expect:
some recognition to their for being done
Expectation from me i.e. what is expected out of me shall be
clearly known.
Should be treated fairly with respect
Receive adequate training to perform their tasks
Have rules, regulations and change in duties.
Should have a tolerable and peaceful working conditions
Have a reasonable work load
Receive fair wages and benefits
Have a reasonable amount of control over the work they do
Should be given the opportunity to make suggestions and
have them considered.
Have to provide a bright future by new learnings in the
organization.
They should be told of the output of their work that where it
fits into the overall scheme of the organization
Have a reasonable opportunity to use their skills, knowledge &
experiences in the suitable situations.
Why?
Indicates that the work being done is helpful in some way to the
organization.
For the growth of organization and self; together.
Thats a need of every human.
To be able to handle the tasks to be performed in the job. To be
less dependent.
For cordial atmosphere.
For cordial atmosphere.
Excess free time indicates less important of the job role.
Excessive load causes stress. So balanced work load shall be
there.
The physiological needs of human shall be fulfilled, so fair
wages are needed. And that wage shall be based on the output I
give i.e. the return the organization gets out of the employee.
This gives ownership and planning of the work an individual is
doing.
This gives a feeling of togetherness.
Gives confidence on self and the organization.
..
.
Gives confidence that their work has some value in the
organization.
Gives a feeling of recognition, which is every humans inherent
need.
So it is not only good salary that is needed for you to be happy in
a job.

It needs many things!!!!

It shall be able to provide time to fulfil your other roles as a human.

Provide money that you need to fulfil the responsibilities (needs and wishes
of dependants and self).

Provide self-satisfaction of performing a duty that our output is helpful to the

society like so and so way. Because anything / activity that we do shall
effect the need of human to whom or product or service reaches.
What is a product?
Anything that solves the problem of a human or make
some improvement in the existing life style.
What are the products we use in
daily life??
Pen, book, watch, bike, key chains, chairs,
water, soft drinks, cars, scale, geometry
box, stickers, soaps, shampoo, perfumes,
cosmetics, foot wear and many things..
What are their brands????
How many of them are Indian??
Why not Indian Products??
 Why not Indian Products??

They are not fulfilling our needs?

Their existence is not known to us?

As our family is using it, we are also using it, without a

question?
 Why?
If their existence is not known, that is the problem with the
marketing strategies being followed.

If we are following it blindly what others are doing, we shall change

and get convinced with why we do that.

If they are not fulfilling our needs, it means foreign designers/

developers are more successful. Being foreigners, they are able to
fulfil the needs of an Indian like us, it means they are more
observing and more sensitive for the problems we as a person face.
Also they are....

more passionate to acquire knowledge to

find a solution for the problem we face,

by gaining technical knowledge,

people knowledge,
process knowledge,
needed knowledge and skills.
What is needed to provide a
successful solution is....
sensitivity towards problem,

good observation,

persistence and passion to acquire knowledge to

realize the thought,

plan to make it known to everyone about the

solution so that people will buy.
This is what we as engineers shall do. This is
what is expected by our society from us.

 Wishing for India using many products
designed, developed and manufactured in India.

This is not being against foreign products, but an encouragement for our
young engineers to be passionate towards product development.
Why organization gives jobs?

May not everyone observe

May not everyone who observe, identifies
May not everyone who identifies will think of a solution
May not every one who think of solution will have knowledge
to realize..
May not everyone who has knowledge has enough time or
money or courage to realize..

It takes, time, knowledge, courage, passion, money

to give a solution for the identified problem.
Why organization gives jobs? Cntd.
And once the solution is identified, individual cannot be able to make it in lot i.e. as per the
numbers needed for the people.

So he needs the help of manufacturing team, where that team makes multiple copies of the
idea/ solution he has made. (Just like Xerox).

Multiple ideas may be developed, where he needs the support engineers like him where
technical support can be obtained to realize the thought quickly. So R&D will be formed.

As the team increases, space for organizing the people and infrastructure is needed, and to
handle people and communication among them support of a team like HR is needed to
maintain cordial atmosphere.

When the products are selling good and they can be sold in international market also, need
of an international certification like ISO may arise, which gives raise to concept of testing and
QC/QA.

After selling the solution, if there is any problem, someone shall resolve the problems at
customer site. So another group which we call as customer support may be needed.
Why organization gives jobs? Cntd.

This is how based on the need, the teams will be added in the organization.

Where CEO has objective to serve society and improve living conditions of
people using all the engineers in his team.

A team is like human body. Brain is the objective we shall achieve and
departments are like the other parts of the body working towards achieving
the goal.

Organization has a need to search for people for jobs to support their objectives
Hope you understand what kind of a
job you need!!

Also hope you understand what is your role as

engineer to perform the job.
