Get Passport hassle free - Passport Sewa E- Governance initiative

As you all know that getting passport work to be done in India is time consuming and can take anywhere between 30 to 45 days. Now some relief to all the people who thinks why its taking so much time.

Now passports are going to be delivered like fast foods. You will get the passport within 3 days and incase of Tatkal application, you will receive it on the same day.

How this is made possible ?
The answer to this is Government's Passport Sewa E- Governance initiative which is public private partnership involving External Affairs ministry and Tata Consultancy services.

Keeping in view security and sensitivity, the MEA has not surrendered sovereign functions to the TCS and has only outsourced front-end activities.

Seventy Seven Passport Seva offices are supposed to be setup in different part of the city. I managed to see one Passport seva office in Outer Ring Road Bangalore. It seems our External Affairs Minister S.M.Krishna inspected those offices in bangalore and happy with the proceedings.

The process is going to be tied with cutting edge technologies which includes SMS notifications, grievance system, online services for appointments and 24x7 National call center in 17 languages.

Hope these changes will be a relief for people standing in long queues !!

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. 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...

Encourage Employees to Learn by Sharing Your Own Growth

As a manager, it’s your job to make sure everyone on your team keeps learning. But beyond encouraging people to take classes and go to conferences, how do you do it? A good starting point is to talk about your own development. When managers open up about their personal areas for improvement, it becomes more acceptable for everyone else to do the same. Ask yourself these questions, and share the answers with your team: “What areas do I need to grow the most in? What insights have I found helpful in accomplishing these goals?” And when you come back from a workshop or training, don’t resort to the typical “It was interesting” summary — be specific. For example, you might say, “I thought I was a good listener, but now I can see that this is a growth area for me. The training showed me new ways to interact with others, and although they aren’t necessarily comfortable for me, I’m going to try them out.” Adapted from " Make Sure Everyone on Your Team Sees Learning as Part of Their Job ,...
