Will vaastu save your day for troubled Maruti at Manesar?

Killed HR manager Awanish Kumar's family can relaxation easy the Maruti Suzuki bosses have determined how to approach the Manesar problem. Resolve the actual management-work issues? Check. Justice for Kumar? Ditto. Better productivity? Sure, why don't you. Vaastu's going can provide relief.

No, really. That is what they are choosing now - a vedic astrologer to eliminate the "negative energy". Most probably, a puja and knocking a couple of new home windows within the walls are likely to make certain employees do not get chased round the place and bludgeoned again. To not harsh their vibes, but they could be better offered by considering their work employment structures. Having a roughly equal split between permanent employees and contractual ones, and the former being compensated a lot more than double the amount latter's wages, it does not take Vaastu to determine what the issue is.

To become fair towards the Maruti Suzuki management, there is not much it may do about this. With work around the concurrent list, both central as well as other condition government authorities have experienced a go at setting it up wrong they have been successful with excitement. Because of the huge paperwork surrounding the entire process of employing and - say it softly - firing, they've basically made certain work inequality and the relegation from the overwhelming most of the labor force towards the unorganised sector.

A wide open market demands nimble-footed companies if they're to compete effectively. That's truer now within the wake from the economic crisis than ever. Production demands were up in the Manesar plant and price-cutting was crucial. Individuals aren't achievable targets should you pass the government's playbook. Signal compressing contract employees and the understandable bitterness that triggered, however inexcusable its expression.

At some point soon, our political figures will have to obtain the cojones to push work law reforms. Ensure workers' privileges, good working conditions and sufficient pay levels, go ahead and flexible structures do not have to mean exploitative ones. Try not to expect companies to contend with their hands tied behind their backs. You are not doing employees any favour. And all sorts of Vaastu idiocy on the planet will not change that.
