Organisational commitment and job satisfaction often deteriorate when appraisal ratings fall short of individual expectations. Here’s how to handle a negative appraisal.

In today’s world, constant stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and sleep surrounds our mode of life. It’s common to hear complains like “I am feeling lethargic,” “I am not able to keep my eyes open,” “My brain is not working today;” This is what the scientists call exhaustion syndrome, and for a layperson, this syndrome is called burnout. Our body gives us a signal as to when we need to pause or to take a break.

In today’s world technology plays a significant role. Everyone is dependent on technology. You’re no longer required to remember the phone number as calling a person is just a click away; there is no chance of forgetting an important appointment as this is taken care of by Google calendar or the reminder feature in your mobile phone etc. Nowadays it has gone so far that we can ask the Virtual Assistant to do little things like to play your favourite song or even ask it to search something for you

Think of any big and significant goal that you’ve achieved. It would involve you having to step out of your comfort zone and demand of you to do things that you’ve never done before to see results that you’ve never seen before. It’s not easy, because doing something you haven’t done before puts you in a blank spot and needs you to think of things you’ve not thought of before hence making you do things outside of what you’ve been doing.

‘Manners Maketh a Man’ says an old saying, which is so true at any given point of time. We frown upon people who are ill mannered; be it children who throw unnecessary tantrums or an adult who is rude in their behavior with others. Good manners or etiquette is essential in every walk of life especially in the corporate world.
