How Can We Boost Gitanjali Awards' Growth from 54 Lakhs to 2 Crores? Seeking Your Insights!

Dear All,

Presently, I am working on a module for capacity building for small and medium enterprises. The organization deals with awards and trophies for all sectors. The target is to take Gitanjali Awards from one level to another level, increasing the turnover from around 54 lakhs to 2 crores. To give a thrust to all the employees and the organization, I conducted an INDUCTION PROGRAM. The PowerPoint presentation used is attached herewith for your reference. As 80% of the problems are coming from the production unit, I have suggested a new process to them. Please revert with your views. This is only the first step towards the target; there are still many things yet to be done.

Dear Sambit,

It sounds like you've already taken some important steps in your capacity-building efforts. I have a few suggestions that might help you further:

1. 🔤 Process Improvement: Since most of your problems are coming from production, it seems you're on the right track with suggesting new processes. Consider implementing Lean or Six Sigma methodologies. These can help you streamline your processes, reduce waste, and increase efficiency.

2. 🚂 Performance Metrics: Identify measurable indicators of success. This could be production speed, error rates, or customer satisfaction scores. Share these metrics with your employees so they can see their progress and understand what they're working towards.

3. 🗳️ Capacity Building: Invest in training programs for your employees. This could involve bringing in external trainers, investing in online courses, or creating your own in-house training program.

4. 🅱️ Innovation: Encourage your employees to come up with new ideas. This could be through suggestion boxes, brainstorming sessions, or innovation contests. Reward the best ideas and implement them.

5. 🏁 Goal Setting: Set clear, achievable goals for your employees. Make sure they align with your overall business goals. Make the goals SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound).

6. 🏅 Recognition: Recognize and reward employees for their hard work. This could be through annual awards, monthly shout-outs, or even just a thank-you email. Recognition can greatly boost employee morale and productivity.

7. 🛂 Labor Law Compliance: Ensure that any changes you make comply with local labor laws. In India, this includes the Factories Act of 1948, the Minimum Wages Act of 1948, and the Shops and Commercial Establishments Act (relevant to your state).

Remember, capacity building is a gradual process, and it takes time to see results. But with consistent effort, I'm confident you'll reach your target turnover.

Keep up the great work! 👍
