The Bright & Dark Colors of Life

 

#Holi - a festival and celebration of #COLORS. 

A day around which friends, families and colleagues come together and play with colours. 

"Paint the Town Red" is taken quite literally around Holi and all the colours are included. 

A festival of pure love and fun. 

And like all things human, we end up messing it up.

Some mischievous individuals will have

a very different definition of this fun. 

Fun for them but pain for others. 

Forcing people to play. Grabbing and Groping strangers. 

Harming animals with the colours and pranking them.  

Using bad quality colours which harm the skin/eyes.

These few individuals turn a fun festival into a scare. 

Some bad experiences will scar individuals for life. 

And they will never indulge in Holi again. Especially Women. 

They might even develop permanent psychological disorders. 

So much for the temporary entertainment of a few bad people. 

Now let's change the setting. The workplace, all around the year. 

Workplace can be fun. It can be a joy to work with people. 

The friendship, the camaraderie, the collaborations. 

It can all be quite invigorating and fulfilling. 

Until some people spoil it. 

Office Politics and personal agendas. 

They will spoil the atmosphere with their behaviour. 

One bad apple can spoil the entire basket and the team. 

And if the bad apple is a super performer, then it's a disaster. 

Bcos the management will not want to lose their superstar. 

So no action will be taken to correct the behavior or actions. 

And to protect one person, you lose the power of the entire team. 

As a Manager, as a Leader; 

it's your responsibility to protect your entire team. 

It's your responsibility to create a safe environment to work. 

It's your responsibility to do everything to make workplace safe. 

It helps to make your team feel Happy.

It helps to make the workplace Fun. 

Fun and Happiness in workplace is 

NOT just the HR's responsibility. 

It's the job of every Manager. 

And every Leader. 

You are responsible for the 

well-being of every member of your team. 

Add FUN and Openness to your workplace 

and you have a Great Place to Work. 

You have the right Colors at Work. 

So, HAPPY HOLI. 

Have fun with your friends and family. 

And make sure you do your bit to make 

things Fun and Safe for everyone around you.
