The Bitter Truth of Office Politics
Tags: Workplace, Company Culture, Venture Capital, Politics, Company

Office politics is becoming a common factor in every organization such as schools, colleges, corporates companies and so on nowadays.

The hierarchy in institutions is paving way for creating uneven and unfair situations in the workplace. Employees who get caught in these bitter politics at the workplace lose their trust in the company and becomes victims of their unfair treatment.

The workers sometimes also lose the credits for the work they do in such places causing them mental disturbance at work. This prevailing unharmonious situation will also stand in the way of promoting a healthy workplace environment.

How to avoid them?

Keep a positive outlook on every scenario. Whatever might be the situation at the workplace, always be positive and have an optimistic approach towards every next step. Every day is a new beginning and always be ready to turn a new leaf. Avoid unwanted bickering and petty quarrels with coworkers. Try to maintain a social and professional relationship with your employees.

Never be a part of a group that spreads negative comments about others in the office and most importantly never be a part of a rumor or gossip chain. If you come across any rumors about you, confront them and clear the negative air. Remain neutral and always have your guard up. It is better to be neutral than taking sides.

Confidence is the key to any of your endeavors. Always be aware of your environment and mindful of your actions. Don’t fail to stand up for what is right. Be open to networking and always do everything it takes to widen your circle.

What organizations can do?

The HR committee must ensure a harmonious and healthy workplace environment. The company could conduct workshops and activities to promote healthy office space. Monthly retreats and leisure activities will be a helpful factor in eradicating stress and negativity among the employees.

The organization should be strict and take serious actions against those disrupting the office with corrupt thoughts and activities. An office should be a second family and safe space for every employee as a whole. It is in the hands of the higher authorities and the management to develop a proper workplace for their workers.

Celebrating Pride Month with GLSEN
Tags: Company

At Discord, we imagine a world where no one has to feel like an outsider. That’s why we do our part during Pride Month: an annual celebration that brings fellowship, community, and power to millions across the globe.

We are on a never-ending mission to build belonging, both internally and externally. This means creating an organization with a workforce that represents the diversity of our communities and the world as a whole.

A core component of this is our employee resource groups (ERGs) who represent underrepresented voices and champion inclusion at Discord. Our Pride ERG leads workshops on allyship in the workplace, helps LGBTQIA+ partners team up with Discord, and has even made our benefits more inclusive. Sound interesting? Come build belonging with us.

We’re marching throughout June under a statement of purpose: Stronger Together. Here’s one thing we’re doing to live up to it.

GLSEN Together with Pride Pins & Stickers

This year, we’re partnering with GLSEN (pronounced “glisten”): an organization that ensures LGBTQIA+ students are able to learn and grow in a school environment free from bullying or harassment. In addition to fostering acceptance in educational spaces, GLSEN works to uplift existing student-led movements, empowering events such as the Day of Silence and Ally Week.

Students who identify as LGBTQIA+ can visit glsen.org/survey to provide insights that will help GLSEN inform education policymakers and the public about the right of all students to be treated with respect in their schools.

Discord’s fundraising goal for Pride 2021 is to raise over $100,000 for GLSEN through our Tiltify campaign. You can check out our Tiltify page to donate below:

For those donating at least $25, we have created not just one, but FOUR Pride-themed pins, each with their own unique set of stickers. These bundles will be blind-box style, with an equal chance to receive one of each of the 4 styles. Will you get Nelly and her Pride flag? Or Wumpus wearing a rainbow wig? Or maybe even Clyde or Phibi?

Startups are not toys, jewelry, or accessories
By: Tia Ventures
Tags: Company, Investment, Venture Capital, Startup, Business

Sorry to break the news, but most people can’t start a company that succeeds. Just like most people can’t play in the French Open or on the Lakers or perform at the Olympics. It’s just that in sport the physical limitations are more immediately obvious.

Mainstream media would lead you to think that startups are:

fun

cool

playful

impressive to talk about

doable

easy

something everyone should say they’re doing

‘if she can do it I can do it’ kind of things

jewelry or accessories

side hustles till something works out and you can quit your job to really focus on

easy to get into

career creators

‘no boss’, ‘control my time’ options

easy to follow activities with an instruction manual

NO NO NO

If you’ve hung around long enough in this game, and witnessed a unicorn or two, a lot of zombies and a ton of deaths and fizzle outs, it should be obvious that endeavoring to start a new high-growth companies is:

one of the hardest challenges in life

competition in the most ferociously competitive environments on the planet

a long game, despite how a recent IPO looks in the the NYT, Crunchbase or your social media feed

a highly stressful balancing act with customers, employees, investors, board members, family, friends, and more

a highest-stakes activity with $Ms of other people’s hard-earned capital on the line

regular self-doubt and second-guessing

setback after setback, a punch in the gut, getting the wind knocked out of you…repeatedly

living in fear that someone you don’t know about has better talent, more funding, and is more clever, and has more luck

moving at breakneck speed and trying to keep everything on the tracks

making your life your work

for a very small group of incredible talented individuals to take on

Don’t ‘start a startup’ because it’s something to do or sounds cool. You’re wasting everyone’s time — especially yours — and money, likely not yours.

Start a company because you are:

intensely passionate about solving a problem

imperviously resilient

an obsessively hard worker

open to/embracing of coaching and constant learning that will improve your performance

boundlessly creative

able to withstand intense pressure and stress

great at listening and looking through other peoples’ eyes

a saver who is willing to risk it all

and understand that the opinion that’s most critical to your success is not your own, but your customer’s.

the person that people follow

If this isn’t you, don’t despair. Far better to know that before you go all-in. And, besides, while you may not be right to start and lead the next unicorn, there is no reason you can’t join one.

The Know-how of Continuous Performance Management
By: Shweta H S
Tags: HR, Performance Reviews, Employee, Performance Management, Companies

Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash

Performance management software benefits organizations to establish employee performance standards and enable managers to appraise an employee’s job performance. These systems are employed to manage employee progress, performance, and development concerning organizational goals. Companies use this software to promote meaningful and ongoing discussions between managers and to receive direct reports. The software is most commonly implemented by HR departments to assist manager-level staff throughout various departments, evaluate employees, manage employee performance reviews, maintain a report of discussion topics, and facilitate 360-degree feedback. Continuous performance management will help employees to perform better. To implement this system and progress, a few points are to be considered.

It is essential that throughout the organization the same employee management system is followed. This system provides the continuous benefit to the employee even after a shift in their roles. In order to offer a better performance report continuously, the HR department should discuss with the managers about their opinions on the performance review process. The official changes will help to develop the system providing comfort to the employees.

Workers tend to be engaged only when there is consistent feedback from their superiors. By engaging the employees, the continuous performance management system saves expenses by reducing the turnover rate, enhancing the revenue. The company should be led in a new direction by promoting the benefits of continuous performance management.Read more

Mind you, exploitative contract provisions are illegal
By: Sagnik Sarkar
Tags: Technology, Law, Startup, Contracts, Company

When courts can refuse to enforce contracts

In Indian contract law, there are five grounds on which courts may refuse to enforce contracts (see Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872). One of these grounds is that, a Court may refuse to enforce a contract if it deems the contract to be opposed to public policy.

Public policy is essentially synonymous with “policy of the State in question”.

There is no exhaustive list of the broad principles of public policy — although we do have a non-exhaustive list of its broad principles, thanks to decided cases which have exposed them. The term “public policy” is incapable of precise definition.

In the most general sense:

Public policy may be understood to— be the values which form the groundwork of the law of a country.

Since we have a written Constitution which is the suprema lex of our country, it is a good starting point to look for the values which underline our legal system. It’s likely a contractual provision which places a monetary cost to disincentivize the exercise of a Fundamental Right will be opposed to public policy. It’s also likely a contractual provision opposed to the Directive Principles of State Policy (principles, but not rights, which guide all State conduct) will be opposed to public policy.

Exploitative provisions are unenforceable

Here’s the low-down for you— in Central Inland Water Transport Corporation v. Brojo Nath Ganguly (SC, 1986), the Supreme Court of India has stated the law unequivocally:

If a contract contains an exploitative provision the court finds unconscionable, that provision will render the contract opposed to public policy.

That people must not be exploited is a principle of our public policy. It follows from the Directive Principles of State Policy enshrined in our Constitution, which contain a number of guarantees against exploitation.

Since such a contract with an exploitative provision would thus be opposed to public policy, the courts would refuse to enforce the whole contract. In contract law terminology, the court will red-pencil the contract— metaphorically, it will take a red pencil and run it through the entire contract, trashing it entirely.

In some cases, courts do blue-pencil the contract— metaphorically, it takes a blue pencil, strikes out the offending provision but allows the remainder of the contract to stand. However, Indian law is very clear on this point— if a contract is opposed to public policy, you don’t get any concessions; the court will have to red-pencil it.

In other words, let me state this unequivocally:
Flave: Gamified mobile food application

Tags: Entrepreneurship, Influencers, Mobile Apps, Companies, Food And Drink

At Towson University (TU), we look for a variety of ways to positively impact society. We demand quality and authenticity with scale merit, as that’s the only way to drive sustainable, systemic improvement.

At TU Incubator, we look for ways to align industry with TU core competencies, whether in education, business, the arts, or health. In the end, the goal is impact at scale.

We are excited to welcome Flave as a virtual member of TU Incubator.

The restaurant industry is one of the more difficult areas to work in, given the cost and limited opportunities. And it is even harder for local restaurants. With the growth of food delivery apps like Grubhub, DoorDash and UberEats, it has become more difficult to attract customers to dine-in. Diners are given less and less reasons to venture outside their homes and experience new restaurants in the neighborhood. Despite all of these struggles, new local restaurants continue to open but they still run into trouble when it comes to visibility and foot traffic. Enter Flave.

Flave is a fresh new take on food apps. Flave incentivizes diners to go out and find unique and local restaurants as opposed to the many chain restaurants already available. Eating at a local restaurant, taking a photo of your food and uploading it to the app grants users Flave Cash, which can be redeemed for free menu items. Flave’s passion for the local community can be what people need to encourage them to get out and explore their city.

Scheme Sheet and Net Price Crisis!
By: Aggarwal Trading Company Atc
Tags: Whitewashing, Retail, Paint, Problems, Company

This article is in a series of article which tries to cover a set of problems faced by a specific set of people of a specific type of Business at the specific stage of the supply chain.

Disclaimer — The content stated here should not be generalized.

In the pre-digital world, retailers were the backbone of almost all product based companies. With the onset of the internet era, a lot of industries have been compromised and a lot of others have arisen, which were unimaginable before. Let me talk specifically about Whitewash Industry, it didn’t have to face a lot of problems with the internet (at least till wallpapers are the next big things in the market).

My guess as to why they are not yet in trend is because —

They are relatively costly Lack of technical expertise in tier 2 town (like Karnal)

The only option left with customers is traditional painting (obviously with improved technology and quality), use of stencils and a beautification using texture. All this was just to set the context and tell you about the background. Consider a paint retail outlet in a city like Karnal, run by a single owner of the age of around 50. Reached the saturation of learning but still fighting to understand the new rules of GST and experimenting with UPI payments.

Amidst all this comes a very long “Scheme Sheet” of a company this retail outlet is a dealer of. Consisting of all kinds of complicated rebates and information about Credit Notes (CN). Very complexly and smartly hidden in the technical jargons and oversimplified rates. All this to ensure that the retailer does not understand what is the Net Price he is getting. Imagine every time you order for inventory replenishment, each time the cost price that you get is different, and as you don’t know what is the net price that you are getting and which lot you are giving to the customer (very hard to track), a retailer is confused what to keep the selling price. He will have to fit himself in a thin space between keeping the price competitive and making it profitable enough to run his family, that too, without proper data. These incomprehensible Scheme Letters makes the lives of the Business miserable. Companies need to understand that while working on better services they must include how the communication can be smooth and easy.

“Not sure if all this is done intentionally, or scheme designers simply don’t care. One way or the other it reduces the enthusiasm of the retailer to work with that organization.”

Implementing commitments beyond 2020
By: Global Canopy
Tags: Palm Oil, Sustainability, Deforestation, Companies, Cattle

Mei Corbett

Our global appetite for commodities such as palm oil is driving tropical forest loss, photo by CIFOR, via flickr.com, creative commons licence

With the 2020 New York Declaration on Forests deadline to halve natural forest loss and eliminate commodity-driven deforestation in sight, not one of the companies and financial institutions assessed by Global Canopy for the Forest 500 2018 ranking, launched today on International Forests Day, is set to meet this goal.

Forest 500 ranks the forest-risk commodity policies of the most influential companies and financial institutions acting in the global palm oil, soy, cattle and timber supply chains. Their rank is dependent on their commitments and actions towards ending forest loss in their supply chains or portfolios.

Of the 350 companies assessed, 164 have committed to ambitious targets to reduce deforestation by 2020, in line with the goals set by the New York Declaration on Forests (Goal 2) and by the Consumer Goods Forum.

Worryingly, many of these companies do not appear to be implementing them across their supply chains. Over 40% of the Forest 500 are still yet to make commitments to tackle the deforestation that they are linked to.

The good news

The number of companies with commitments to address deforestation have steadily increased since Forest 500 began tracking company policies in 2014. Now 57% of companies have a commitment to protect forests for at least one of the commodities they are exposed to on the final stretch towards 2020. The assessment focuses on ‘forest-related’ commitments to recognise the efforts of companies that look beyond broader sustainability commitments and focus on protecting priority forests and/or eliminating deforestation completely within their supply chains.

Commitments continue to push further with ambition moving beyond reducing deforestation to zero conversion of forests such as Cargill’s commitment to sustainable soy, announced after the 2018 assessment was completed. This is an encouraging step in the right direction, but depends on their promise of a time-bound action plan.

The pathway to deforestation-free supply chains

Updated methodology measures implementation actions

But the most influential companies must take action to ensure that their commitments are implemented. So in 2018, we introduced five implementation indicators to assess key actions that companies should be making to implement their commitments. They reflect the urgent need for powerbrokers to take action towards reducing deforestation in their supply chains.

Implementation gap

Forest 500 has identified that in total only 50 of the companies assessed in 2018 reported on some implementation activities for all of the commodities they are exposed to.

And almost a third of commodity-specific forest-related commitments made by companies did not include any implementation actions for any of the five indicators.

Technology

The question still remains: how does Leaf leverage blockchain for its services? Nat Robinson describes:

“Leaf uses the Stellar distributed ledger to store transactions and facilitate the movement of money across borders. Blockchain helps dramatically reduce transaction costs, improve security, facilitate instantaneous transactions, and enhance transparency as a back-end system. Value is not held in speculative cryptocurrency, eliminating the risk of volatility. Customers access Leaf through a smartphone application or feature phone (non-smartphone) using USSD, which is similar to a more secure form of SMS. Both trigger actions on Stellar, making Leaf the first to open up the benefits of blockchain in financial services for the 2.4 billion people still using feature phones.”

In simple terms, Leaf layers on top of existing mobile network operators and multi-national aggregators to allow for easy transferability and storage of money across borders.

Early Success

Leaf’s ability to both store and transport the assets of underserved and underbanked communities promotes physical safety and economic identities. After a beta in 2019, the company fully launched in Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya in September 2020 and is the first blockchain-based financial solution for those without smartphones. Leaf processed over 6,000 transactions for 1,500 customers worth over $40,000 in its first three months of operations. Tanzania and DR Congo are the next two countries on the company’s roadmap, followed closely by expansion into Europe and the UK.

Leaf participated in the 2019 Techstars Accelerator cohort with Western Union and received grant awards from the National Science Foundation (SBIR), SXSW, The Vatican, and the United Nations. Leaf is part of the EcoBank Fintech Fellows program, which can give the company access to 33 countries across Africa. IBM also selected Leaf for its Hyper Protect Program to explore partnership through IBM’s secure key and data management solutions. Technologies and programs like these will help Leaf scale across Africa and subsequently into Latin America and the Middle East.

Most importantly, Leaf is making a profound impact on the lives of refugees and migrants — arriving in a new country with access to capital and the formal economy dramatically improves each individual’s life.

Nat and Tori have recently joined the Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator, a joint venture by SCET, Blockchain at Berkeley, and Berkeley Haas, to further the development of their technology and build a network with the Berkeley community of technologists, investors, and students.
