Major Disruptions in International Cabling system from Mumbai causing Internet from India to hit by 85%

As most you might be knowing that Internet Services from India are dependent upon a number of Submarine cables emanating from Mumbai, Chennai and Cochin. They are:

 (a)   Mumbai – SWM3, SMW4, FLAG

 (b)   Cochin – SAFE3

 (c)   Chennai – I to I

All the cables from Mumbai have gone down due to disasters under the sea (sabotage or anchor drop suspected). As a result Indian Internet services are running only on SAFE3 and I-to-I which possesses only 15% of the overall capacity from India (Broadband and DSL connections are running over Satellite connections only). This news appeared in TOI Saturday on the front page.

Due to this reason, the Internet speed to Servers outside India would be extremely bad at least till the end of this month (as predicted by the news). The interconnectivity between branches would not be affected because they are dependent upon Inland network within India. Local inbound and outbound mails will flow faster than international mails – but the traffic will not be completely disrupted.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

By
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. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm. Familiarize yourself with the services your firm offers — which may include groups for working parents, health care coverage for counseling, or post-natal yoga or meditation classes — so that you can help your employee access support. Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out. Find ways to make supporting employees and their mental health part of your culture. Adapted from " What Managers...

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

By
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
