(Sillince, Sykes, & Singh, 1996) : Prime Minister'S Shram Awards" (Pmsa)
Unlike the average life span of three years of QCs (Sillince, Sykes, &
Singh, 1996), RCF has a QC named ‘Trishul’ which is operating for more
than twenty-eight years. This is a unique phenomenon at the global level
and has been acknowledged in the International Convention of Quality
Circles held in September, 2019 at Tokyo.
Four of the employees have been awarded with the Prestigious National
Award titled – “PRIME MINISTER'S SHRAM AWARDS” (PMSA). These awards
are given to workers in recognition of their distinguished performance,
innovative ability, and exhibition of exceptional courage and for having
made supreme sacrifices in the conscientious discharge of their duties.
The over 900 QC member are also part of various other representing
bodies in the organisation such as the Unions, Works Committee, SC ST
Welfare Association, Officer’s Association, Staniya Lokhadihar Samitie,
Ganeshutsav Mandal, Cooperative Credit Society, Task Force members,
etc.
These members with their well imbibed skills of logical and analytical
thinking, ability to put forth their points in convincing manner and with
matured outlook are definitely instrumental in creating a very positive,
healthy and matured culture in the organisation. Moreover, it is quite
obvious that these acquired competencies must have helped in enriching
the financial, family and social spheres of their life.
Quality Circles are a forum for venting out creativity, various other forums,
where such newly acquired skills can be showcased and utilized.
Employees are at lower strata. But they have urge to grow, create their
identities, and contribute in the space available to them. These forums
help them well.
The goal of QC is not to just increase the savings or reduce the wastages
but to educate people and improve overall productivity which can lead to
job enrichment and motivation to employees. Work enjoyment increases
which leads to increase in involvement. Working with internal urge has a
different flavour, hence it should be noted that this is Voluntary.
