Steve Jobs once said that “It’s not the tools you have faith in. Tools are just tools — they work, or they don’t work. It’s the people you have faith in or not”. And that is exactly what Morison did with me when they hired me to the role of Senior Executive – HR. Company trusted me to have the capabilities and skills to take over the role. Since then, my career at Morison has been rewarding in many ways. One thing that I enjoy the most at Morison is empowerment.

Morison has given me the freedom to voice my opinion and mold plans around my role which has given me more confidence and has enhanced my ability to perform better in my role. And more importantly my manager has confidence in me that I will make the right decisions and do the right thing by the Organization.

When I look around, I understand that not many gets the opportunities I have got because of empowerment and the trust company, and my supervisor has on me. I am thankful for Morison for the opportunities it provides me in shaping my career through empowerment.

Excellence is all about finding the right balance in everything we do. It reflects smartness, intelligence and potential to make wise choices among many alternatives.

Working in a manufacturing environment is an everyday roller coaster where finding the right balance between quality and quantity is the prime objective for which one need to play multiple roles. In simple terms production personnel has to operate as a planning, quality, HR, supply chain manager within the department. Thus, maintaining the correct equilibrium among these functions is a vital skill one must excel as a manufacturing professional. Morison provided me the correct guidance to nurture such skills and created an open atmosphere to exercise the same regardless the gender and age. Hence achieving excellence in everything task I performed was not challenging as it seemed.

Furthermore, work life balance was never a part of my “Bucket list” as there were no collisions between two. Morison laid the path for me to build a flourishing career where my family never missed me in the process. I consider myself very fortunate to having started my career in Morison which enabled me to excel in the professional life while becoming a responsible citizen and loving member to my family.

As we are in the healthcare industry, which is so important that we are more in tune with the customers, patients, and stakeholders identifying the needs.

It brings diversity of ideas and approaches, allows cross-functional teams to find a solution that considers multiple angles of the problem, thus driving for stronger and well-rounded, optimized solutions while thriving in a highly uncertain competitive environment.
