That’s how I’d divided my attention as head of HR:
Blue collar workers came first—top priority;
Next, the support staff;
Last, the managers.
How did I do it? Simple—I just inverted the pyramidal organisation chart to make it look like India’s family planning symbol—it was that easy!
Repercussions? The usual motley crew of disgruntled mid-level oldies at HO, which I could count off on the knuckles of my left fist, and safely dismiss with just a chuckle.🤭
My secret: When it came to the welfare of blue collar workers, I had the support of my director—always! 👍
