More Trouble for Ranbaxy

Indian Pharma Major Ranbaxy had got into trouble when US Food and Drug Administration's ban on 30 of its generic medicines due to poor production standards in two of its manufacturing facilities in India. Days after this ban Ranbaxy has got into more trouble when canada's drug regulator “Health Canada” has now issued a notice that they are going to be doubly cautious about the company's drugs that are being marketed in canada. Incidentally Ranbaxy Canada is being ranked as the ninth largest pharma company in canada by virtue of its sales volume.
Close to the actions of these two countries other countries like Germany, UK and Newzealand have also initiated their Drug regulators to check on the production standards of the company's two manufacturing facilities at Paonta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh and Dewas in Madhya Pradesh, India.
It is now upto the company to come clean on the quality issues on the two controversial plants in India as sales volume close to $1.6 Billion is at stake for the pharma major in the markets of US, UK, Europe and North America.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside.

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
