Indians begin celebrating
Diwali, the festival of lights, a fortnight later. Traditionally, it is time
people think of near and dear ones in their personal spheres, and companies
about their employees and staff, for wishing and gifting ideas. It is an
occasion no one wants to let go of this opportunity for even that once a year
connect in their personal and professional network.
There is this sentiment
and emotional energy behind the social connect that makes all to wish and pray
for a bright future for everyone. While it’s a ritual to brainstorm over
tangible gifting ideas, a truly different and tangential idea could be about
gifting a coach to near and dear ones and as a company, to employees that
require help in their lives. This could reflect genuine concern that people and
companies have towards them, and could potentially be a life changing experience
for the recipients. By the results that they generate for themselves, they may
remember this unique gift for a long time.
Therefore it may be time
to think of close friends and family connections in personal circles, and
employees that companies may have concerns about, and the issues that they may
need help on. While tangible gifting may have a high ritual value, but, with a
shelf life and relevance. A coach can help him generate best suited solutions
for a long time and he may remember such a gift for a long time, strengthening
relationships and improving his life in its true sense. It could be an amazing
HR intervention for corporate too, helping generate belongingness and
retention.
