Flaws and Feedbacks

Nobody is perfect. Nobody is identical to others. Everyone has their own style of work and that is the reason we accord a huge importance to people management.

We have frequent refresher training for people to ensure they do not deviate the fine line of the periphery of organisational behaviour. Yet we have issues with people making mistakes due to myriad of reasons, primarily due to misunderstanding of the expectations and slackness.
