An adage says, "Rich are getting richer, and poor are getting poorer," and there is
no iota of doubt that it stands vindicated for a rising India too. Our country has
seen this phenomenon uncoiling at a population scale with startup speed in a
short span. Many proletariats have lost their jobs, and the ones who have a job are
earning little over sustenance. This is coming when the CPI, though within the RBI
limits, is high. This, in turn, has got a snowballing effect when it comes to their
children's education, health, and other necessities.
This is not to say that the GOI is not doing anything; it has taken a series of reforms
and steps necessary to mitigate these herculean problems.
But the question arises, 'What can the business leaders do?', 'Do businesses need
to care about this?', 'Social Responsibility is a purview of Government, not the
businesses, right?'
Most of us might not be apprehensive about these issues even after taking
cognizance of it. But like a needle in a haystack, one business leader thinks of
these very questions as the bread and butter of his life and is trying his level best
to come up with the solutions for the same. Christopher Blessing, CEO of Caere
India, has a vision of mitigating these desolate affairs in his capacity to transform
the lives of the lowest strata by giving voice to his team members (workers) and
creating higher value for them.
*A group of workers is self-sustainable if workers share ownership and responsibility for the work they do and
are able to resolve the disputes, if any, without any outside intervention.
EXISTING STRUCTURE:
Caere India is working across five regions in India: North, West in Mumbai,
AP/Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Each region has its Regional Outcome
Owner(ROO). Each ROO takes care of 4-5 states like Delhi ROO takes care of
Delhi/NCR, Punjab, U.P., Uttarakhand, and Haryana. The ROO of any region owns
the business, customer, and outcomes of that region.
In each region, the company has support and operations activities. The support
activities include the HR, Accounting, and Administrators Team.
The HR team does documentary level checks, enrolls the workers in the company
system, issues uniforms ID cards to the workers, assists in creating bank accounts,
any legal compliance, generation of employees' payrolls, and monitoring the
workers' attendance. Currently, there is training in place to skill the workers, but it
is not effectively instituted.
Each region is further divided into 2-3 large areas in charge by an Assistant
Manager. The number of Assistant Managers associated with a region depends on
how big the region is. Like, North India region has about 3000 workers which ROO
themselves can't manage. So, it is further divided into three areas, and an
Assistant Managers manage each area.
Under each Assistant Manager, there are various Field Officers. Each Field Officer
manages about 15-20 sites and 120-200 workers on average. These field officers are
the first point of contact for the workers as well as clients. They are in constant
contact with the workers and assign work to them. Once a new contract is in
place, he is responsible for onboarding workers who have previously worked with
the organization or searching and onboarding new members. If the sites have
more than 10 workers, supervisors are assigned for that site who help the field
officers by managing the workers.
At the lowest level of the pyramid, there are workers. Each worker works on
minimum wage. They are hired for a particular contract, and once the contract
ends, the worker's tenure terminates due to the cost-plus business model. These
workers are assigned to different clients and report to field officers.
To better understand the structure and compensation received at different levels,
kindly refer to Appendix 2
1. Ownership: Leaders are owners. They think long-term and don’t sacrifice long-
term value for short-term results. They act on behalf of the entire company,
beyond just their own team. They never say “that’s not my job."
2. Compassion & Respect: Leaders treat Adults as Adults and unconditionally
respect one another, they go out of the way to support and bring out the best
from people around them.
3. Customer Obsession: Leaders start with the customer and work backward.
They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay
attention to competitors, they obsess over customers - they put in every
needed effort to know their customers completely well.
4. Learn & Be Curious: Leaders are never done learning and always seek to
improve themselves. They are curious about new possibilities and act to
explore them.
5. Insist on the highest standards - Quality / Deliver WOW through Results:
Leaders have relentlessly high standards — many people may think these
standards are unreasonably high. Leaders are continually raising the bar and
driving their teams to deliver high-quality products, services, and processes.
Leaders ensure that defects do not get ignored and problems are permanently
fixed.
6. Think Big: Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and
communicate a bold direction that inspires results. They think differently and
look around corners for ways to benefit all stakeholders.
7. Bias for action & be a Change Agent: Speed matters in business. We value
experiments with thoughts via calculated risks that drive change and do not
need extensive study.
8. Frugality - Do more for Less: Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed
resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and invention. There are no extra points for
growing headcount, budget size, or fixed expense.
9. Earn Trust and build Honest Relations through Honest Communication:
Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully. They are
vocally self-critical, even when doing so is awkward or embarrassing. They
benchmark themselves and their teams against the best.
10. Create a Fun and Be True to Yourself, Live with Passion and Purpose: Leaders
believe that they are different and are brave enough to just be themselves.
Leaders believe in having fun while at work and creating memorable experiences
for themselves, their colleagues, and their customers.
11. Team Obsession: Leaders are fanatics of self-managed and multi-disciplinary
teams. They believe in enhancing overall teams' abilities and performance.
Leaders believe that creating value for the team is the only way to create lasting
value for themselves.
FEEDBACK MECHANISM:
Feedback of both customers and team members is given importance in the
organization. It is of paramount importance to the company that the workers are
doing their job diligently and maintaining high quality. Also, it tries to protect the
interest of the workers by ensuring that there is a healthy working environment in
the workplace.
The clients are asked to fill in Customer Comment Cards (refer to Appendix 4) to
rate the workers' performance on various metrics such as professionalism, good
conduct, and dedication to work. The clients could write about all the good and
bad things about a particular worker.
The workers are asked to fill out an Employee Satisfaction Survey (refer to
Appendix 5). From this, the company tries to understand the likes and dislikes of
the workers towards their job, Caere, and their clients. Chris found that the
workers are reluctant to give bad reviews and always agree to the system. He is
looking for an effective and transparent feedback system from the workers.
In case of disputes between the workers and the client, the field executives
generally act as a moderator and try to pacify the situation. If the matters get
worse, different workers are sent to the particular client. Doing this, the company
also makes sure the workers are not ill-treated if a case arises, the company talks
to clients, ensuring a safe working environment.
KANAKAMA STORY:
Kanakama has been with Caere India for the past 16 years. A quintessential caring
mother of three, passionate, disciplined, and the head of the family, she has always
tried to outperform herself professionally and personally over time. She gets up
early and, without any prodding, starts her assigned work. The unfortunate part of
her story is that she draws the same salary, checked with inflation, as she began
with 15 years back.
The predicament doesn’t end just there; her family has taken several loans, in
denominations of a few lakhs, from the private lenders and relatives at a colossal
interest rate to conduct the marriage of elder daughter apart from the higher
education of the children. When a daughter is married to someone, there is
common thinking that she will lead her life peacefully without any problems.
Contrary to that idyllic scenario that we often hear and see about in our daily lives,
though she left home, the issues, be it financial or personal, stuck to her like a
leech.
It's difficult to fathom what these people go through, let alone empathize with
them. That’s the truth and Chris is exposed to these grim stories often and he
knows Kanakama and many others like her personally, and these Kanakamas of
the world have instilled an inspiration for Chris to do something for them. He
realized that everything was changing for the rest of the world but not for these
people. This self-actualization moved him to lead his life with a purpose: to
transform home spaces and the very lives of the workers associated with Caere
India.
Nobody pays 10% more to someone whose efficiency is slightly more. If given a
choice, the majority of the customers wouldn't even like to pay them the
minimum wage and provide them with social security, let alone the bonuses,
thanks to the statuary backing of the government, that these workers at least get
something. Instead of treating them as adults, people criticize them with a
condescending tone most of the time.
Being a veteran in the industry with 32 years of experience, Chris wants to break
this social taboo and create a working space where each employee is treated with
respect irrespective of their job. And he feels that it is high time for the companies
to become more people-centric. He feels that these workers are adding the most
value to the company by upholding the quality of their work. There is a common
notion that the workers are complacent towards their work, and constant
supervision is required so that the workers do not escape their work. The
supervisors end up getting more salaries.
Chris wants to eliminate the supervision model and create self-sustaining teams.
By self-sustaining, he envisions an environment that fosters learning, caring, and
an optimistic world where the team takes ownership and accountability for what
they do. This value creation will ensure a better, more productive workplace and
customer service excellence. There is no need for constant supervision. These
teams will help the company reduce costs, increase operational efficiency,
customer happiness, and individual satisfaction. The company wants to use the
money saved not only in creating more value for its employees, but also the
society in general.
This very thought of transforming their lives is something Chris wants to put into
action to live their lives to the fullest and earn commensurate with the hard work
they do.
QUESTIONS:
Q1. How can Chris transform the worker's life and create more value for them?
Q2. How can he change the organizational structure to create self-sustaining
teams?
Q3. How can he make the workers more participative in the feedback process to
gain more insights about the clients and the working environment?
Q4. What are different KPIs that Chris can consider to measure the happiness of
workers and the growth in value created both for the workers and the
organization?
