Thank you for your reply.

I am actually looking for some registers and formats that I can implement in my office. It's a BPO where I am working, and I would like to introduce some new measures.

Hope you could help me with this. :)

Regarding office politics by Saurabh:

Hi,

I view this topic as managing office politics in your favor - how not to become a victim of office politics.

Here are tips I believe in for avoiding it:

First and foremost, keep track of what you do in the minutest possible detail - someone will ask you one day.

Don't gossip about anyone behind their back.

It's safe to assume that no one can keep a secret. Keep your secrets to yourself.

Always acknowledge someone else's contribution and remember to thank him/her. Make it a habit.

Always remember that you are the most important person for yourself. Be a little selfish when it comes to your interest. Don't be over-giving - people tend to take this for granted.

And just do your job well. Let your performance speak for you.

If your performance is getting affected by someone else, you should report it to concerned people.

Cheers,
Saurabh
