Dear Mitesh,
It is unfortunate that one of your employees is suffering from paralytic attack which is seriously hampering his normal day to day work related activities. In such a case, the approach of the Management varies from company to company. I have worked with some big known MNCs and let me tell you, these companies are not very much employee caring but also have empathy and compassion for such employees whose normal wage earning capacity gets severely hampered due to ill health /accident. We continue to keep such employee and transfer him to a department /area where he has to perform a light work which he can manage without seriously affecting the quality of work. We never dump such employees because they are no longer productive and unable to deliver.
As a HR Personnel, I think we all should have sensitivity, empathy and compassion and try to understand the pain, sufferings and genuineness of the problem of others by stepping in to their shoes. Sadly, some of the comments from the people belonging to my fraternity suggest that they always believe only in chopping (head) and not reshaping. We should try to remember, in case the same thing happens to me, then what will be my reaction if my Management takes the 'same stand' against me ? Will you accept the 'decision' happily because you are paralysed and no longer fit for job or you did not come to duty for some days /weeks because you were ill ?
I was going through one of the Posts where one employee (Jagdish Gupta) was sacked without any prior intimation to him as he was on sick leave for about one and half months. Isn't it shamefull that some of us still continue to live in a society which can be compared with the era of blood thirsty autocratic kings who used to take the human lives without any good reason, showing any mercy.
Mitesh, I would suggest, please speak with your Management and rehabilitate this person to a light work area. Please don't increase his suffering any more, he is already suffering.
Rgds,
Rakesh Srivastav
